Wyoming H5N1 bird flu case uploads to GISAID

—PB2 E627K mutation detected

Partial sequence from a Wyoming patient confirms H5N1 D1.1 genotype with PB2 E627K

It’s a key adaptation for mammalian replication.

BREAKING: VIRUS FROM NEVADA DAIRY WORKER WITH BIRD FLU HAS THE SAME GENETIC MUTATION seen in the Nevada cows – a change of PB2 D701N that has previously been assoc with more efficient virus replication in ppl & mammals.

CDC told Fortune that the D1.1 variant in this worker is the same strain of

4) The adaptations seen (like PB2-E627K in the dairy worker strain, PB2-T271A in polecat strain) may enable higher replication, allowing some air shedding despite the virus still preferring avian-type receptors. But efficiency remains much lower than human flu viruses. (At this time)

1/7 🚨BIRD FLU MUTATION ALERT🚨

Scientists have identified a concerning genetic mutation in H5N1 bird flu from dairy cows in San Bernardino County.

The mutation, called PB2 E627K, could make the virus more deadly and transmissible between mammals.

H5N1 shows the 1918 flu's PB2 E627K mutation and D190E, which shifts the virus to human receptors.

These mutations increase human infection risk, and with recent mammalian outbreaks, raise concerns about potential human-to-human spread.

⚠️ BREAKING:

Dangerous Bird Flu Strain in British Columbia Teen Linked to 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic

D1.1 Bird Flu in BC Teen has HA: E190D and PB2: E627K mutations, same as the 1918 Spanish Flu that killed millions.

H5N1 Bird Flu is a
About to Go Global.

The D1.1 strain in Nevada, with the PB2 D701N mutation, is spreading faster in dairy herds than the B3.13 strain.

Migrating birds will carry it worldwide, raising the risk of mammalian outbreaks.

This is no longer just a U.S. issue it’s a global threat.

The H5N1 Bird Flu virus is showing concerning mutations, particularly the PB2 E627K mutation.

This mutation helps the virus adapt to mammals, including humans, and spread through the air.

It was present in the 1918 Spanish Flu, the Cambodian Bird Flu outbreak, and is now found in bobcats.

RED ALARM on H5N1. Data dump late last night from the BC teen shows that the sequence has picked up the necessary mutation needed for adequate transmission among human hosts. It’s got PB2 E627K. The same mutation that 1918 Spanish influenza had. We’re going to have a pandemic.

Buckle up.

6/ Key concern: The virus in dairy cattle carries a PB2 D701N mutation, known to enhance adaptation in mammals. This change has been seen in human H5 infections but has NOT led to sustained human transmission.

As an added GOF bonus, they also put E627K into PB2 so these viruses would replicate more efficiently in mice. PB2-E627K is known to increase fitness and pathogenicity in mammals. So these chimeric viruses are also the products of GOF virology research.

I just invented something yummy (if you’re into “healthy” shit): mix nonfat Greek yogurt with PB2 powder and honey and dip apple slices in it.

Cattle B3.13 H5N1 viruses rapidly accumulated adaptations in polymerase genes that enabled better replication in bovine cells and tissues. PB2 M631L maps to the polymerase-ANP32 interface. PA K497R, PB2 E627K, PB2 D740N important.
