Functionality of the putative surface glycoproteins of the Wuhan spiny eel influenza virus

The recently identified Wuhan spiny eel influenza virus (WSEIV) sequence is more closely related to influenza B than A viruses. Here, the authors functionally characterize the putative surface glycoproteins of WSEIV and show that its NA-like protein has sialidase activity and its HA-like protein bin...
