“…We investigated the diversity, spatial distribution, and abundances of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in sediment samples of different depths collected from a transect with different distances to mangrove forest in the territories of Hong Kong. Both the archaeal and bacterial amoA genes (encoding ammonia monooxygenase subunit A) from all samples supported distinct phylogenetic groups, indicating the presences of niche-specific AOA and AOB in mangrove sediments. …”

“…Based on our results, we suggest two possible mutation patterns, namely (1) positions 190 and 225 from glutamic acid and glycine to aspartic acid (E190D in A/Brevig Mission/1/18 (H1N1), A/New York/1/18(H1N1) and A/South Carolina/1/1918(H1N1) and G225D in A/South Carolina/1/1918(H1N1), A/South Carolina/1/1918(H1N1), and A/Puerto Rico/8/34(H1N1)), and (2) positions 226 and 228 from glutamine and glycine to leucine and serine, respectively (Q226L and G228S in A/Guiyang/1/1957(H2N2), A/Kayano/57(H2N2), A/Aichi/2/1968(H3N2), A/Hong Kong/1/1968(H3N2) and A/Memphis/1/68(H3N2)) that can potentially contribute to the specificity of hemagglutinin to Sia(α2-6)Gal, thereby enabling the replication and transmission of virus within and among humans.…”

“…To identify the mechanism underlying differential responses to H5N1 virus infection in a genetically diverse population, we assessed the host responses and lung viral loads in 21 inbred mouse strains upon intranasal inoculation with A/Hong Kong/213/03 (H5N1). Resistant mouse strains survived large inocula while susceptible strains succumbed to infection with 1,000- to 10,000-fold-lower doses. …”
