This study shows H5N5 viruses have been repeatedly introduced across the Atlantic by high latitude seabirds, with more frequent introductions in fall and spring, and a distinct ecology from H5N1.

The paper analyzes within- and between-host dynamics of H5 avian influenza in domestic birds and live bird markets, revealing viral evolution, transmission patterns, and risk factors for human spillover.

This study shows that influenza viruses use different evolutionary strategies in avian versus mammalian hosts, with reassortment dominating in birds and adaptation in mammals.

Standardized Snakemake pipelines on GitHub Actions fetch open sequence data, curate it, and publish daily or weekly updated phylogenies for 21 viruses and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

The paper measures seroprevalence of H5N1 and SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in owned and feral cats in Philadelphia, finding rare H5N1 exposure but common SARS-CoV-2 exposure.

The paper shows that seasonal reassortment between high and low pathogenic influenza A/H5N1 viruses drives genotype diversification, with ducks, geese, and the Central flyway as key sources.

This study tracks the emergence and molecular evolution of H5N1 influenza viruses in U.S. dairy cattle, identifying increased mutation rates and positive selection after spillover from birds.

The paper analyzes H5N1 avian influenza dynamics in Dalmatian pelicans, showing higher transmissibility and shedding in non-reservoir birds and ineffective carcass removal as a control measure.

The study assesses the pandemic risk of a fatal zoonotic H3N8 influenza virus from chickens, finding it has moderate pandemic potential due to its ability to infect humans and replicate in human cells.

This study tracks the spread of H5N1 in North America, showing wild migratory birds drove rapid dissemination and repeated spillovers into agriculture through multiple introductions and sustained transmission.

The paper develops datasets for Nextclade to enable rapid and accurate clade assignment of avian influenza A(H5) viruses, validated against existing tools.

This paper tracks the evolution and epidemiology of H3N2 canine influenza virus over 20 years in dogs, showing it evolves at a constant rate and spreads rapidly in dense populations but requires long-distance dispersal to sustain outbreaks.

This study uses deep mutational scanning to analyze H5 hemagglutinin mutations and their impact on pandemic risk factors in influenza viruses.

This study shows that pre-existing H1N1 immunity protects ferrets from severe disease caused by bovine H5N1 influenza virus.

The paper uses genomic data to show multiple ZIKV introductions and cryptic transmission in Colombia, with most transmission occurring locally.
