Investigating Factors Driving Shifts in Subtype Dominance within H5Nx Clade 2.3.4.4b High-Pathogenicity Avian Influenza viruses

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.

Genetic reassortment and diversification of host specificity have driven evolutionary trajectories of lineages of panzootic H5N1 influenza

Phylogenetic analysis of pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 (PPMV-1) detected in the British Isles between 1983 - 2023.

This study sequences PPMV-1 isolates from the British Isles between 1983-2023, identifying three genotypes and tracing the spread of a virulent genotype from Europe to China and Australia.

Rapid mortality in captive bush dogs (Speothos venaticus) caused by influenza A of avian origin (H5N1) at a wildlife collection in the United Kingdom

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

Investigating the genetic diversity of H5 avian influenza in the UK 2020-2022

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.
