Avian and Human Influenza A Virus Receptors in Bovine Mammary Gland

Share:

Kristensen et al. (2024) wrote "An outbreak of influenza A (H5N1) virus was detected in dairy cows in the United States. We detected influenza A virus sialic acid -α2,3/α2,6-galactose host receptors in bovine mammary glands by lectin histochemistry. Our results provide a rationale for the high levels of H5N1 virus in milk from infected cows."
