Genetic and biological characteristics of the globally circulating H5N8 avian influenza viruses and the protective efficacy offered by the poultry vaccine currently used in China

Pengfei Cui et al.

Summary: The study analyzed samples of wild birds and poultry in China, identifying two distinct genotypes of the H5N8 virus circulating in different bird species. The research also revealed the origin and spatiotemporal spread of these genotypes in 2020 and 2021. Additionally, the study showed that vaccinated poultry in China were fully protected against H5N8 virus challenge, highlighting the importance of vaccination to prevent the spread of H5N8 avian influenza.

Genetic and biological properties of H10N3 avian influenza viruses: A potential pandemic candidate?

Yanna Guo et al.

Summary: This study systematically investigated three strains of H10N3 avian influenza virus isolated from live poultry markets and found that these viruses were highly pathogenic to mice, replicated efficiently in mouse nasal turbinate and lungs as well as in A549 cells and chicken embryos, and possessed key molecular markers associated with mammalian adaptation.

Novel H5N6 reassortants bearing the clade 2.3.4.4b HA gene of H5N8 virus have been detected in poultry and caused multiple human infections in China

Wenli Gu et al.

Summary: This study analyzed 15 H5N6 viruses isolated from poultry and seven H5N6 viruses isolated from humans, and found that they formed seven different genotypes derived from H5N8 viruses, domestic duck H5N6 viruses, and other previously circulating viruses in China. Two of these genotypes have caused human infections in multiple provinces.

Genetic and biological properties of H7N9 avian influenza viruses detected after application of the H7N9 poultry vaccine in China

Xin Yin et al.

Summary: The H7N9 avian influenza virus has caused five waves of human infection in China, but further cases have been prevented since September 2017 through the use of a vaccine in poultry. However, the virus has not been eradicated from poultry, with genetic analysis revealing new genotypes and the potential for escape from vaccine-induced immunity. The antigenic differences identified between the 2019 H7N9 viruses and the vaccine strain used for control in poultry highlight ongoing challenges in evolution and control of the virus.

An Outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H7N7) in Australia and the Potential for Novel Influenza A Viruses to Emerge

Andrew T. Bisset et al.

Summary: In 2020, geographically isolated farms in Victoria, Australia, experienced outbreaks of highly pathogenic and low pathogenic avian influenza viruses, leading to significant livestock losses and economic impact. Studies found that emus are susceptible to various influenza virus subtypes and could potentially serve as unrecognized viral mixing vessels.

Molecular characterization, receptor binding property, and replication in chickens and mice of H9N2 avian influenza viruses isolated from chickens, peafowls, and wild birds in eastern China

Jing Guo et al.

Summary: The study shows that H9N2 avian influenza viruses exhibit different genetic evolution, receptor binding specificity, and transmission efficiency in different hosts, with viruses from chickens, green peafowls, and swans preferentially binding to human-like receptors.

A single-amino-acid mutation at position 225 in hemagglutinin attenuates H5N6 influenza virus in mice

Xingtian Kong et al.

Summary: This study characterized two H5N6 avian influenza viruses with different lethality in mice, attributing the difference in virulence to a mutation in the HA gene. The mutation G225W in the HA protein decreased the stability and increased the activation pH of the virus, providing a potential target for the development of vaccines and drugs against H5 influenza viruses.
