The paper evaluates gaps in international databases on HPAI H5 in wildlife in the Americas, finding significant discrepancies in data representation across sources.

This study tracks the spread and evolution of H5N1 in the sub-Antarctic and Antarctica, revealing long-distance dispersal and mammalian-adaptive mutations.

Genomic sequencing identified a novel triple-reassortant H5N1 virus in Argentina, highlighting ongoing evolution of clade 2.3.4.4b in the Americas.

This study models how climate change affects the distribution of the Junin virus reservoir, Calomys musculinus, identifying potential disease transmission hotspots under different climate scenarios.

The paper reports a massive H5N1 outbreak in elephant seals and documents evidence for mammal-to-mammal transmission and spillover to birds.

This study assesses the effects of satellite-linked telemetry tags on humpback whales, finding that integrated tags caused less severe tissue damage than non-integrated ones.

The paper reports the genomic characterization of HPAI/H5N1 viruses in marine mammals and seabirds in Peru, identifying reassortant lineages and novel mutations.
