Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2190-2213, October 2026.ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over
