Nina Pescatore☣️ Newer versions of the virus have improved their ability to evade the natural defenses of the human immune system. "The virus has certainly mutated away from what we saw a decade ago," said UNCC computational biologist Colby T. Ford, Ph.D., who led the study. "They don't even look the same."
These adaptations increase the pandemic potential of the virus, he said, and candidate vaccines developed 10 years ago may not be efficacious against contemporary strains of the virus. "This has the potential to be bad."

With AI, researchers find increasing immune evasion in H5N1
The H5N1 avian influenza virus has infected birds and mammals around the world. As of June 2025, 70 people have been infected, and one person has died in the United States. A new analysis suggests that the virus is evolving clever strategies.
