Highly pathogenic avian influenza causes significant damage to the poultry industry worldwide. As the virus evolves, new variants regularly emerge that may differ in how easily they spread and how severely they affect infected birds. Researchers at Wageningen Bioveterinary Research (WBVR, part of Wageningen University & Research) characterized eight avian influenza virus variants in chicken and duck cells.

Using mathematical modeling, they identified differences in how these viruses behave in poultry cells. Their paper is published in Microbiology Spectrum.

Pumpkin seed protein puts a twist on nondairy coffee creamer

Pumpkin season is about more than cute décor. The squash contains lots of seeds with a high protein content, but they're usually discarded. Researchers reporting in ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found another way to use the seeds, extracting that protein to crea

Sea pigs from the abyss host unusual bacteria

In the deep ocean, translucent sea pigs trundle across the seafloor. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have discovered an unusual bacterium beneath the sea pig's "skin." Through fluorescent imaging, they determined the location of the bacterium, which they named Candidatus A
