Detection of Evolutionarily Distinct Avian Influenza A Viruses in Antarctica

mBio, 2014
Distinct lineages of avian influenza viruses (AIVs) are harbored by spatially segregated birds, yet significant surveillance gaps exist around the globe. Virtually nothing is known from the Antarctic.

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.

Genetic Diversity and Biological Characteristics of H3 Avian Influenza Virus Isolated from China in 2021–2022 Showed the Emerging H3N8 Posed a Threat to Human Health

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases
The H3 influenza viruses are widespread in domestic poultry but have been ignored because their pathogenicity in poultry is low. Three human infections with H3N8 influenza viruses have been reported in China since 2022, raising public concern.

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 ...

Complete Genomic Sequences of H3N8 Equine Influenza Virus Strains Used as Vaccine Strains in Japan

Genome Announcements, 2018
We sequenced the eight segments of influenza A virus strains A/equine/Ibaraki/1/2007 and A/equine/Yokohama/aq13/2010, which are strains of the Florida sublineage clades 1 and 2 of the H3N8 subtype equine influenza virus.

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 ...

Orthomyxo-, paramyxo- and flavivirus infections in wild waterfowl in Finland

Virology Journal, 2008
Background Screening wild birds for viral pathogens has become increasingly important. We tested a screening approach based on blood and cloacal and tracheal swabs collected by hunters to study the prevalence of influenza A, paramyxo-, flavi-, and ...

Global seroprevalence and prevalence of infection of influenza in dogs (Canis familiaris): A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 34, Issue 3, May 2024.
Abstract Influenza in dogs holds considerable public health significance due to their close companionship with humans, yet several facets of this phenomenon remain largely unexplored. This study undertook a systematic review and meta‐analysis of observational studies to gauge the global seroprevalence of influenza in dogs.
