Influenza hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) are two surface glycoproteins of the influenza A virus that exert opposite functions. HA attaches virions to cells to initiate the infectious cycle, while NA cleaves terminal sialic acids, releasing virions to complete the infectious cycle.

Hemagglutinin (HA):
HA is involved in the initial stages of infection by binding to sialic acid receptors on host cells, facilitating viral entry and fusion. HA is crucial for the infectivity and transmissibility of the virus. Changes in HA can enhance the pathogenicity of the virus, as seen in the enhanced virulence of influenza A viruses with the HA of the 1918 pandemic virus.

Neuraminidase (NA):
NA plays a role in the release and spread of progeny virions, following the intracellular viral replication cycle. NA facilitates the release of newly formed virus particles from infected cells, and it is important for the initiation of infection. Inhibition of NA can suppress the initiation of infection, providing rationale for the prophylactic use of NA inhibitors.

About Turtlebrella Eggs

This egg looks as if it's already set to protect itself from incoming rain and precipitation... it must really not like the rain.

About the Turtlebrella Creature

Turtlebrellas are prepared for rain and all forms of precipitation. When the rain begins, they often deploy their umbrella unless they're looking to rinse and wash off. Due to their very long necks, they're able to position their heads underneath the umbrella if they so choose or stick their heads out for some of the fun of the downpour.

While most Turtlebrellas stick close to rivers and inland tributaries, they do not have to be close to rivers in order to survive.
