The paper assesses seal-to-seal transmission pathways of HPAI H5N1 among southern elephant seals using movement data, finding potential but unlikely spread between colonies.

This study tracks the spread and evolution of H5N1 in the sub-Antarctic and Antarctica, revealing long-distance dispersal and mammalian-adaptive mutations.

This study validates shotgun metagenomics for detecting soil-transmitted helminths in faecal samples, finding mitochondrial sequence mapping as the most accurate method, with short-read sequencing outperforming long-read.

This study confirms the first H5N1 infection in Antarctic ice-dependent seals and identifies multiple introductions of the virus in the region.
