Experimental reproduction numbers disentangle vaccine effects on susceptibility and infectiousness during H5N1 transmission in geese

Ronja Piesche, Jana Schulz, Michael Höhle, Martin Beer, Christian Grund, Timm Harder, José L. Gonzáles

This study uses controlled transmission experiments to estimate how vaccination affects susceptibility and infectiousness in geese infected with H5N1, finding that vaccination reduces transmission but not below one under intensive exposure.

Red knots in Europe - a dead end host species or a new niche for highly pathogenic avian influenza?

Jacqueline King, Anne Pohlmann, Andreas Bange, Elisabeth Horn, Bernd Hälterlein, Angele Breithaupt, Anja Globig, Anne Günther, Angie Kelm, Christian Wiedemann, Christian Grund, Karena Haecker, Stefan Garthe, Timm Harder, Martin Beer, Philipp Schwemmer

A unique HPAIV H5N3 genotype caused mass mortality in red knots in 2020, suggesting red knots may act as a reservoir for the virus.
