Source: Journal of Virology, ABSTRACTH5 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses of the A/Goose/Guangdong/1/96 (Gs/Gd) lineage continue to evolve and cause outbreaks in domestic poultry and wild birds, with sporadic spillover infections in mammals. The global spread of clade 2.3.4.4b viruses via migratory birds since 2020 has…

Complex Evolutionary #Dynamics of #H5N8 #Influenza A Viruses Revealed by Comprehensive #Reassortment #Analysis

Source: Viruses, AbstractInfluenza A viruses (IAVs) circulate among different species and have the potential to cause significant pandemics in humans. This study focuses on reassortment events in the H5N8 subtype of IAV, which poses a serious threat to public health due to its high pathogenicity in birds and potential for cross-species transmission. We…

Complex Evolutionary #Dynamics of #H5N8 #Influenza A Viruses Revealed by Comprehensive #Reassortment Analysis https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/16/9/1405

This detailed case study of specific H5N8 viruses revealed previously undescribed reassortment events, highlighting the complex evolutionary history and potential pandemic threat of H5N8 IAVs.

Caught Right on the Spot: #Isolation and Characterization of Clade 2.3.4.4b #H5N8 High Pathogenicity Avian #Influenza Virus from a Common #Pochard (Aythya ferina) Being Attacked by a Peregrine #Falcon (Falco peregrinus) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38687111/?utm_source=Feedly&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=None&utm_content=1LGAx__djGAJ9poBzWGqPtjEbBDtz4ipSRRPUplmgHEyyF_Ihj&fc=None&ff=20240430181504&v=2.18.0.post9+e462414

These findings provide direct evidence supporting the possibility of HPAI transmission from infected waterfowl to predators.

#Field and #laboratory #investigation of highly pathogenic avian #influenza #H5N6 and #H5N8 in Quang Ninh province, #Vietnam, 2020 to 2021 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38568822/?utm_source=Feedly&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=None&utm_content=1LGAx__djGAJ9poBzWGqPtjEbBDtz4ipSRRPUplmgHEyyF_Ihj&fc=None&ff=20240403184042&v=2.18.0.post9+e462414

CONCLUSIONS: Combining biosecurity measures, such as restricting visitor entry and vaccination in farms with more than 50 birds, can enhance the control and prevention of HPAI in Quang Ninh and its spread across borders.

#Genetics of #H5N1 and #H5N8 High-Pathogenicity Avian #Influenza Viruses Isolated in #Japan in Winter 2021-2022 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38543724/?utm_source=Feedly&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=None&utm_content=1LGAx__djGAJ9poBzWGqPtjEbBDtz4ipSRRPUplmgHEyyF_Ihj&fc=None&ff=20240328065908&v=2.18.0.post9+e462414

Results emphasize the complex of #dissemination and #reassortment events with the movement of migratory #birds, and the importance of continual monitoring of AIVs in Japan and #Siberia for early alerts to the intrusion of HPAIVs.
