Investigating high pathogenicity avian influenza virus incursions to remote islands: Detection of H5N1 on Gough Island in the South Atlantic Ocean

Antje Steinfurth, Joshua G. Lynton‐Jenkins, Jaimie B. Cleeland…·Ashley C. Banyard

Whole-genome sequencing and geolocation tracking indicate that high pathogenicity avian influenza H5N1 reached Tristan skuas on remote Gough Island via sub-Antarctic marine networks linked to South Georgia rather than Africa.
