ALT Fluorescent microscopy image showing three large, irregularly shaped cells with colorful staining. Each cell has a bright yellow nucleus, while the surrounding cytoskeleton is highlighted in different colors: teal, magenta, and purple. The cells are connected by thin, elongated extensions, and the background is black. A scale bar at the bottom right indicates 50 µm.
ALT Two individuals are standing outdoors in front of a gray brick wall. One person is wearing navy blue medical scrubs with a visible ID badge clipped to the waist, while the other is dressed casually in a light striped shirt over a white t-shirt and jeans. They are shaking hands on a paved surface.
ALT Infographic comparing avian influenza A viruses and seasonal influenza A viruses, focusing on temperature adaptation. Left panel shows a duck representing avian influenza A viruses, which are adapted to higher temperatures (core temperature 40–42°C) and have temperature-resistant viral polymerase. Right panel shows a human torso representing seasonal influenza A viruses, adapted to cooler temperatures (upper respiratory tract ~33°C, lower respiratory tract ~37°C) with temperature-sensitive viral polymerase. Bottom panels depict two mice under different conditions: left shows that febrile temperature does not prevent severe disease from a temperature-resistant avian virus; right shows that febrile temperature protects against severe disease from a temperature-sensitive virus. Includes illustrations of viruses and polymerase structures.
