Co-circulation of distinct high pathogenicity avian influenza virus (HPAIV) subtypes in a mass mortality event in wild seabirds and co-location with dead seals

The paper reports the co-circulation of H5N1 and H5N5 HPAIV subtypes in a mass mortality event involving seabirds and seals in Great Britain, with the first recorded instance of two subtypes co-occurring in the same avian population and the first H5N5 detection in mammals in GB.

Detection and spread of high pathogenicity avian influenza virus H5N1 in the Antarctic Region

This study detects H5N1 HPAIV in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions, identifies affected species, and traces the virus's origin and potential spread.

The role of airborne particles in the epidemiology of clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 high pathogenicity avian influenza virus in commercial poultry production units

The paper investigates airborne transmission of clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 HPAIV in poultry units, finding that infectious virus can travel short distances but not between premises, suggesting biosecurity measures are more critical.

Pathology of naturally acquired high pathogenicity avian influenza virus H5N1 infection in seabirds

This study examines the pathological effects of HPAIV H5N1 in seabirds, finding increased tissue tropism and reproductive tract involvement in 2022 compared to 2021.

Systemic infection with highly pathogenic H5N8 of avian origin produces encephalitis and mortality in wild mammals at a UK rehabilitation centre

The paper reports that systemic infection with H5N8 avian influenza virus caused encephalitis and mortality in wild mammals at a UK wildlife rehabilitation centre.

Detection of H3N8 influenza A virus with multiple mammalian-adaptive mutations in a rescued Grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) pup

The paper reports the detection of H3N8 influenza A virus in a Grey seal pup, identifies mammalian-adaptive mutations, and suggests potential zoonotic risk and pandemic surveillance relevance.
