The Case Of The (Possibly) Benign Mutation

[Avian Flu Diary] PB2 627K is consistently found in human influenza A viruses, but rarely in avian-derived viruses. The E627K mutation may result in enhanced virus replication efficiency in humans, possibly by adjustment to host body temperature or cellular cofactors, and has previously been shown to be associated with fatal cases of HPAI H5N1 and H7N7 virus infection in humans.

[Health Area] The purpose of vaccination is to reduce the chance of the same infection between human influenza and avian flu. The same double infection would provide an opportunity in the human viruses and virus of bird flu for the exchange of genes or mutations, which is likely to produce a new type of influenza which will be easy to spread as human influenza but will be turned off as avian flu.
