This study inoculates hens with H7N7-LPAIV precursors to model how they lead to H7N7-HPAIV outbreaks, showing partial protection but not complete prevention of H7N7-HPAIV replication.

This study shows pigeons are not easily infected by H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b virus and cannot transmit it to other birds or chickens.

This study investigates the factors driving the shift in dominance from H5N8 to H5N1 HPAIVs in wild birds, finding that viral pathogenicity and immune responses differ between subtypes.

The paper tests for antibodies and active infection in seabirds following H5N1 outbreaks, finding varied antibody prevalence and low asymptomatic infection rates.

This study evaluates the increased pathogenicity and zoonotic potential of an H7N9 LPAIV variant in turkeys, showing enhanced virulence and transmission risks.

This study reports an unusual mortality event in captive bush dogs caused by avian-origin H5N1 influenza A virus.

The paper analyzes genetic diversity of H5 avian influenza in the UK from 2020-2022, identifying reassortment events and tracking subtype shifts between H5N8 and H5N1.
