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

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
