An #epizootic of highly pathogenic avian #influenza virus #H7N3 in a #Mexican ecological #reserve, Arch Virol.: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00705-024-06200-6

#Phylogenetic #analysis revealed that the HPAI H7N3 virus detected in affected birds shared a close genetic relationship with Mexican H7N3 isolates from 2012.

Time window of pathogen introduction analysis with complementary approaches such as phylogenetic analyses is critically important for improved understanding of disease transmission pathways. Estimated parameters can also inform models used for #surveillance design, #risk analysis, & emergency #preparedness.

H7N9 infection in turkeys can generate novel variants with increased #risk through altered pathogenicity and potential HA antigenic #escape. These findings emphasize the requirement for enhanced #surveillance and understanding of A/Anhui/1/13-lineage viruses and their risk to different species.

Avian influenza virus continues to pose zoonotic, #epizootic, and #pandemic #threats worldwide, as exemplified by the 2020–23 epizootics of re-emerging #H5 #genotype avian influenza viruses among #birds and #mammals and the fatal jump to humans of emerging A(#H3N8) in early 2023.

It was the first laboratory-confirmed human case of infection with an influenza A(H5N2) virus globally and the first avian H5 virus reported in a person in Mexico,
