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.
Bird flu: US reports first human death in person infected with H5N1
The US has reported its first human death from avian influenza H5N1 in a person who had been admitted to hospital in Louisiana after being exposed to a non-commercial backyard flock and wild birds.
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
Highly pathogenic avian influenza A viruses are circulating among wild birds and poultry in British Columbia, Canada. Here, we report a case of critical illness caused by influenza A virus infection in British Columbia.
An influenza mRNA vaccine protects ferrets from lethal infection with highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) continues to spread throughout domestic poultry and cattle, with occasional transmission to humans.
A single mutation in bovine influenza H5N1 hemagglutinin switches specificity to human receptors
In 2021, a highly pathogenic influenza H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b virus was detected in North America that is capable of infecting a diversity of avian species, marine mammals, and humans.
Flu shots play an important role in protecting against bird flu. But not for the reason you might think
A current strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu, has become a global problem. The virus has affected many millions of birds, some other animal species, and a small number of people.
Infection of South American coatis (Nasua nasua) with highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus displaying mammalian adaptive mutations
Deadly outbreaks among poultry, wild birds, and carnivorous mammals by the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus of the clade 2.3.4.4b have been reported in South America.
France reports avian influenza on farm for first time since January
A French farm has had an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza for the first time since January, Reuters reported, citing the agriculture ministry in a statement late on Tuesday.
Updated joint FAO/WHO/WOAH assessment of recent influenza A(H5N1) virus events in animals and people
At the present time, based on available information, FAO-WHO-WOAH assess the global public health risk of influenza A(H5N1) viruses to be low.
