Finland’s H5N8 vaccine rollout worked: 83–97% seroprotection, boosted T-cell immunity, and cross-reactivity against H5N1 strains from fur farms and US cattle. Strong evidence for cross-protection. #AvianInfluenza #H5N1 #Vaccines www.nature.com/articles/s41...

H5N1 spread across North America mainly via migratory wild birds, with 46–113 independent jumps into poultry. Backyard birds got infected first. Strengthening surveillance at the wild–agriculture interface is essential. #AIV #OneHealth

H11 avian influenza from wild birds shows dual receptor binding + mammalian-adaptation markers. These viruses can jump further than we think. Surveillance is key. #AvianInfluenza #OneHealth

Epidemiology, evolution, and biological characteristics of avian influenza A (H11) viruses from wild birds
H11 subtype avian influenza viruses (AIVs) have been identified in both wild and domestic birds. H11N9 viruses from wild birds provided the NA gene to human H7N9 virus in 2013 in China, which cause...

Honored to chair the Virology in One Health session & deliver the keynote at the 1st Int. Online Conference on Veterinary Sciences. Great discussions on viruses from influenza, bovine CoV, herpes in whales, reovirus in crabs, to bacteriophages hunting E. coli! I love viruses :D
