The paper analyzes genotype-specific ecological and environmental factors driving HPAI H5N1 spread in wild birds in France, identifying key variables and suggesting updated risk zones.

The paper presents a framework for real-time genomic characterization of pathogens, resistance, and host range in wetlands using passive sampling and nanopore sequencing, finding higher pathogen and AMR gene abundance in anthropogenically impacted sites.

The paper detects and isolates H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b avian influenza virus from ticks parasitizing a naturally infected gull, highlighting ticks as potential non-invasive surveillance tools for HPAIV.

This study examines co-infection patterns in European roe deer, finding that proximity to livestock, sex, age, and activity levels influence parasite presence, with minimal between-parasite interactions.
