mSphere of Influence: Redefining an Influenza Virus—How Different Are Influenza Viruses and Extracellular Vesicles?
Abstract
ABSTRACT Seema Lakdawala works in the field of influenza virology. In this mSphere of Influence article, she reflects on how the article “Conserved and host-specific features of influenza virion architecture” by Edward C. Hutchinson et al. (Nat Commun 5:4816, 2014, https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms5816) made an impact on her thinking about what constitutes an infectious virus and how influenza viruses can spread within and among hosts.
