#Pathogenicity and #transmissibility of #bovine #H5N1 #influenza virus, Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07766-6
Importantly, bovine HPAI H5N1 virus bound to #sialic acids expressed in #human upper #airways and inefficiently transmitted to exposed ferrets (one of four exposed ferrets seroconverted without virus detection). Bovine HPAI H5N1 virus thus possesses features that may facilitate #infection and #transmission in #mammals.
