The global H5N1 influenza panzootic in mammals
Influenza A viruses have caused more documented global pandemics in human history than any other pathogen. High pathogenicity avian influenza viruses belonging to the H5N1 subtype are a leading pandemic risk.
Variants and vaccines impact nasal immunity over three waves of SARS-CoV-2
Viral variant and host vaccination status impact infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), yet how these factors shift cellular responses in the human nasal mucosa remains uncharacterized.
SARS-COV-2 re-infection and incidence of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) among essential workers in New York: a retrospective cohort study
After surviving Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), some people develop symptoms known as post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC). PASC is an emerging phenomenon yet to be fully understood, and identifying risk factors has been challenging.
H5N1 Bird Flu continues to take its toll in the United States
Clade 2.3.4.4b of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus causing outbreaks in wild and domestic birds around the world, continues to spread in dairy cows, poultry and other animals across the United States.

Influenza and Aging: Clinical Manifestations, Complications, and Treatment Approaches in Older Adults
Older adults, especially those over 65 years of age, face increased risks of immune senescence, chronic comorbidities, and decreased vaccine efficacy.
Declines in UK breeding populations of seabird species of conservation concern following the outbreak of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) in 2021–2022
The outbreak of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) in 2021–2022 is the likely primary driver of these declines.
The Emerging Threat of H5N1 to Human Health
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) emerged in 1997.1 Since then, it has spread globally by migratory birds, resulting in infections in animals on every continent.
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus Infections in Humans
Highly pathogenic avian influenza A viruses have caused widespread infections in dairy cows and poultry in the US. with sporadic human cases. We describe characteristics of human A(H5N1) cases identified from March through October 2024 in the US.
Critical Illness in an Adolescent with Influenza A(H5N1) Virus Infection
