Collectively, these studies suggest that gastric exposure represents a potential non-respiratory route for A(H5N1) IAVs in mammals that can lead to infection and support that IAV may be detected in mammalian intestinal tissues following multiple exposure routes.

"These findings provide serological evidence of SARS-CoV-2 spillover to pet dogs and underscore the importance of continued surveillance in companion animals as part of a One Health approach, especially as new viral variants continue to emerge," they wrote.

The B3.13 genotype associated with this outbreak has also been detected in birds and felines, highlighting the continued transmissibility of the virus across susceptible species. Given the wild and domestic animal reservoirs for A(H5N1),

A(H5N1) virus infections in humans without a clear animal exposure have rarely occurred in the United States (CDC Confirms H5N1 Bird Flu Infection in a Child in California) but have been documented in other countries where A(H5N1) viruses have circulated in wild birds for years.

@ai6yr honestly they all look good. Why not find 4 that go together first? Maybe a set of 2 and 2 alternated even?
