Host restrictions of avian influenza viruses: in silico analysis of H13 and H16 specific signatures in the internal proteins.
Gulls are the primary hosts of H13 and H16 avian influenza viruses (AIVs). The molecular basis for this host restriction is only partially understood. In this study, amino acid sequences from Eurasian gull H13 and H16 AIVs and Eurasian AIVs (non H13 and H16) were compared to determine if specific si...
