Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Response to Influenza in Grey Seals (Halichoerus grypus), a Potential Wild Reservoir

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 15, August 2025.
ABSTRACT RNA viruses are infamous for their ability to cross species barriers, posing threats to global health and security. Influenza A virus (IAV) is naturally found in avian hosts but periodically spills over into marine wildlife. IAV outbreaks occur in the Northwest Atlantic, but grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) appear to be less susceptible to IAV ...

Influenza-A viruses in ducks in northwestern Minnesota: fine scale spatial and temporal variation in prevalence and subtype diversity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Waterfowl from northwestern Minnesota were sampled by cloacal swabbing for Avian Influenza Virus (AIV) from July-October in 2007 and 2008. AIV was detected in 222 (9.1%) of 2,441 ducks in 2007 and in 438 (17.9%) of 2,452 ducks in 2008.

Diversity of the H9N2 Avian Influenza Virus in Shandong Province, China

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV) is one of the main pathogens causing respiratory disease in chicken; however, differentiating this virus from infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) and newcastle disease virus (NDV) only using clinical signs is difficult.

Applied Research Note: Development and validation of a highly specific polyclonal antibody targeting neuraminidase of novel H3N8 avian influenza virus

Journal of Applied Poultry Research
SUMMARY: Avian influenza viruses (AIV) of the H3N8 subtype pose a significant threat to both the poultry industry and public health. This study aimed to develop and validate a highly specific polyclonal antibody targeting the neuraminidase (NA) protein ...

Equine-Like H3 Avian Influenza Viruses in Wild Birds, Chile

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
Since their discovery in the United States in 1963, outbreaks of infection with equine influenza virus (H3N8) have been associated with serious respiratory disease in horses worldwide.

Quantifying Time‐Dependent Predictors for the International Spatial Spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5NX: Focus on Trade and Surveillance Efforts

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The multiple waves of intercontinental transmission of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5Nx Gs/GD lineage since its identification in 1996 are testament to its resistance to control and prevention efforts. Knowledge of the predictors of HPAI international spread can help identify strengths as well as areas for improvement in surveillance ...

Preparedness, prevention and control related to zoonotic avian influenza

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract A risk assessment framework was developed to evaluate the zoonotic potential of avian influenza (AI), focusing on virus mutations linked to phenotypic traits related to mammalian adaptation identified in the literature. Virus sequences were screened for the presence of these mutations and their geographical, temporal and subtype‐specific ...

Examining the Influenza A Virus Sialic Acid Binding Preference Predictions of a Sequence‐Based Convolutional Neural Network

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 18, Issue 12, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Though receptor binding specificity is well established as a contributor to host tropism and spillover potential of influenza A viruses, determining receptor binding preference of a specific virus still requires expensive and time‐consuming laboratory analyses.

Artificial intelligence‐based prediction of pathogen emergence and evolution in the world of synthetic biology

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2024.
New technology is changing how we monitor and control the evolution of pathogens. AI cannot predict the future but it can help us by looking at how laboratory accidents cause pathogen outbreaks. We also discuss potential epidemic origins based on unusual organisms or associations of organisms that have rarely been highlighted or studied.

Avian influenza overview March–June 2024

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract Between 16 March and 14 June 2024, 42 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (15) and wild (27) birds across 13 countries in Europe. Although the overall number of detections in Europe has not been this low since the 2019–2020 epidemiological year, HPAI viruses continue to circulate at a very ...
