Experimental infection of dogs with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (H5N8)
During the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N8 virus outbreak in Korea, a dog in layer farm contaminated by H5N8 was reported seropositive for HPAI H5N8. To investigate the possibility of adaptation and transmission of HPAI H5N8 to dogs, we experimentally inoculated dogs with H5N8.

Cutavirus in cutaneous malignant melanoma [PDF]
A novel human protoparvovirus related to human bufavirus and preliminarily named cutavirus has been discovered. We detected cutavirus in a sample of cutaneous malignant melanoma by using viral enrichment and high-throughput sequencing.

Harnessing the Potential of mRNA Vaccines Against Infectious Diseases
RNA vaccines are promising because of their flexible design, strong immunogenicity, safety and rapid development. Recent advances have enabled mRNA vaccines to target various pathogens, including viruses such as influenza and HIV, bacteria such as Mycobacteria and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and parasites such as those causing malaria.

Active surveillance and genetic evolution of avian influenza viruses in Egypt, 2016–2018
Egypt is a hotspot for avian influenza virus (AIV) due to the endemicity of H5N1 and H9N2 viruses. AIVs were isolated from 329 samples collected in 2016–2018; 48% were H9N2, 37.1% were H5N8, 7.6% were H5N1, and 7.3% were co-infections with 2 of the 3 ...

Highly pathogenic H5 avian influenza in 2016 and early 2017 - observations and future perspectives [PDF]
During 2016–2017 novel strains of highly pathogenic H5 avian influenza virus within the Goose/Guangdong/96 (Gs/GD/96)-lineage (mainly H5N8) caused multiple outbreaks of disease in poultry and wild birds across much of Europe, parts of Asia, the Middle ...

Unexpected interfarm transmission dynamics during a highly pathogenic avian influenza epidemic [PDF]
Next-generation sequencing technology is now being increasingly applied to study the within- and between-host population dynamics of viruses. However, information on avian influenza virus evolution and transmission during a naturally occurring epidemic ...

Abstract The emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1), clade 2.3.4.4b, genotype B3.13 in U.S. dairy cattle marks a significant shift in the virus' host range and epidemiological profile. Infected cattle typically exhibit mild clinical signs, such as reduced milk production, mastitis and fever, with morbidity generally below 20% and

From sporadic to global: The changing face of H5N8 [PDF]
The H5N8 influenza subtype is a relatively new highly pathogenic avian influenza. Until the recent Korean outbreak of H5N8 the viral subtype had only been detected sporadically. This paper looks at the multiple reassortment events between H5 hemagglutinin and N8 neuraminidase segments that explain the breaks in the history of the H5N8 subtype ...

Novel Reassortant Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H5N8) Virus in Zoos, India
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N8) viruses were detected in waterfowl at 2 zoos in India in October 2016. Both viruses were different 7:1 reassortants of H5N8 viruses isolated in May 2016 from wild birds in the Russian Federation and China, suggesting virus spread during southward winter migration of birds.
