If you are interested in influenza emergence, please check out and use the beautiful figures all made by @fcapelastegui.bsky.social.
Another beautiful figure from Capelastegui & Goldhill 2025. Pandemic staircase adapted from Long et al. 2019 showing the transition of AIV to the human seasonal virus. Key steps for mammalian and human adaptation are polymerase changes, HA mutations which confer α2,6 sialic acid preference and finally fine-tuning of viral fitness.
