Disentangling the role of Africa in the global spread of H5 highly pathogenic avian influenza

Nature Communications, 2019
The role of Africa in the global spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is not well understood. Here, using evolutionary analyses, the authors show that Africa mainly acts as ecological sink for HPAI H5, and reveal varying paths of HPAI ...
