Co-circulation of distinct high pathogenicity avian influenza virus (HPAIV) subtypes in a mass mortality event in wild seabirds and co-location with dead seals

M. Falchieri, E. Bentley, H. A. Coombes, B. C. Mollett, J. Terrey, S. Holland, E. Stubbings, N. McGinn, J. Cooper, S. Ahmad, J. Lewis, B. Clifton, N. Collison, J. Aegerter, D. Venkatesh, , A. C. Banyard

The paper reports the co-circulation of H5N1 and H5N5 HPAIV subtypes in a mass mortality event involving seabirds and seals in Great Britain, with the first recorded instance of two subtypes co-occurring in the same avian population and the first H5N5 detection in mammals in GB.
