Novel Flu Viruses in Bats and Cattle: “Pushing the Envelope” of Influenza Infection 2018-08-06 .txt text/plain 3837 214 45 This review examines the recent discovery of novel influenza viruses in bats and cattle, the evolving complexity of influenza virus host range including the ability to cross species barriers and geographic boundaries, and implications to animal and human health. In addition, we discussed the growing complexity of influenza virus-host interactions and highlighted the key research questions that need to be answered for a better understanding of the emergence of pandemic influenza viruses. Ability to infect a wide range hosts is a key contributing factor to the complex and seemingly expanding genetic diversity of IAVs. It is now well established that IAVs infect domestic pets such as dogs and cats, adding to the list of host species that could potentially expose humans to influenza viruses. Although influenza viruses infect humans and a wide range of animals and birds, cattle were never considered to be susceptible to influenza virus infection. ./cache/cord-003232-nquw7qga.txt ./txt/cord-003232-nquw7qga.txt
