This paper evaluates H5Nx influenza virus genotyping tools and finds they often group viruses with distinct evolutionary histories due to reassortment and reference bias.

This paper introduces WaveSeekerNet, a calibrated AI model that predicts IAV host origin and identifies key adaptive mutations, revealing host-adaptive distance and the Mammalian Adaptation Zone.

This study examines the effectiveness of thermisation temperatures in inactivating A(H5N1) virus in whole cow milk using embryonated chicken eggs.

The paper detects a reassortant H3N2 influenza A virus in farmed mink in British Columbia, linked to swine and human origins, highlighting zoonotic risks and the need for surveillance.

This study tracks AIV infection and immunity in urban ducks before and during an H5N1 outbreak, finding population-wide infections and waning immunity over time.

This study tracks the spread of HPAIV H5N1 in Canadian wild birds after its 2021/2022 incursion, finding widespread infection across species and regions.

The paper reports an outbreak of H5N1 avian influenza in seals in the St. Lawrence Estuary, linking it to bird carcasses and highlighting public health concerns.
