Surveillance of Migratory Shorebirds and Seabirds in 2024 in Australia Reveals Incursions of a Diversity of Low Pathogenicity Avian Influenza Viruses, but Not High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza H5N1

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 20, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The current panzootic of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 has been catastrophic for wildlife, and following substantial geographic spread, clade 2.3.4.4b is found in every region aside from Oceania. Herein, we report the results of our third year of targeted surveillance of incoming migratory seabirds and shorebirds ...

Sharing Is Caring?—Pathogens and Pathogen‐Specific Antibodies in Arctic Endemic Seal Species and the Newly Sympatric Harbor Seals in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change associated transformations of Arctic marine ecosystems are having detrimental impacts on Arctic endemic marine mammals. However, warming conditions are providing new habitats for temperate marine mammals, some of which are expanding into Arctic regions, posing a threat of novel pathogen introduction and disease transmission.

Evolution of H5N1 Cross‐Species Transmission: Adaptive Mutations Driving Avian‐to‐Human Infection

Advanced Genetics, Volume 7, Issue 1, March 2026.
This review synthesizes current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms underpinning H5N1's host adaptation, focusing on key mutations in viral proteins. Critical mutations are discussed in detail, highlighting their roles in altering receptor specificity, promoting antiviral resistance, and expanding viral tropism. The review underscores the urgent need

Avian influenza overview December 2025–February 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Between 29 November 2025 and 27 February 2026, 2514 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (406) and wild (2108) birds in 32 countries in Europe. Albeit still at high levels after the peak was reached at the beginning of the current reporting period, the weekly number of detections has since ...

Waterfowl Move Less in Heterogeneous and Human‐Populated Landscapes, With Implications for Spread of Avian Influenza Viruses

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.
We show that non‐migratory waterfowl movement distances are shorter in areas of high land cover heterogeneity and human population density, and that these movement distances are related to the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza. These results suggest that habitat management could contribute to the spread of these viruses.
