Enhanced pathogenicity and transmissibility of H9N2 avian influenza virus in mammals by hemagglutinin mutations combined with PB2-627K

Kaituo Liu et al.

Summary: H9N2 avian influenza viruses have become dominant in China and this study identified amino acid substitutions in the HA protein that enhance viral replication and virulence in mice. These mutations also enable viral transmission in guinea pigs. The study provides valuable insights into pandemic preparedness against emerging H9N2 strains.

H9N2 influenza virus spillover into wild birds from poultry in China bind to human-type receptors and transmit in mammals via respiratory droplets

Xinghai Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of H9N2 avian virus in wild birds along the East Asian-Australian migratory flyway in China. It found that H9N2 AIVs continue to circulate extensively in wild bird populations, with the potential for efficient transmission in mammalian models via respiratory droplets. Migratory birds play a crucial role in the spread and genetic diversification of H9N2 AIVs, highlighting the importance of monitoring influenza viruses in wild bird hosts.

Assessing potential pathogenicity of novel highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N6) viruses isolated from Mongolian wild duck feces using a mouse model

Bao Tuan Duong et al.

Summary: Several novel highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N6) viruses with mammalian infection markers were reported in Mongolia in 2020. This study isolated and evaluated two new genotypes of A(H5N6) subtype, finding that they were less virulent in mice compared to previously identified H5 human isolates. Additionally, their antigenicity differed from other H5 clade 2.3.4.4 viruses, suggesting the need for continued evaluation and potential vaccine development.

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5Nx) Virus of Clade 2.3.4.4b Emerging in Tibet, China, 2021

Yi Li et al.

Summary: This study isolated 15 H5N8 and 2 H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses of clade 2.3.4.4b from dead migratory birds and fecal samples in Tibet, China. The findings suggest that breeding grounds may contribute to the accumulation of avian influenza viruses in different migratory populations.

Phylogenetic and Phylogeographic Analysis of the Highly Pathogenic H5N6 Avian Influenza Virus in China

Hanlin Liu et al.

Summary: The study conducted an epidemiological survey and spatiotemporal analysis of H5N6 avian influenza viruses (AIVs) in China. The findings revealed that the novel 2.3.4.4b reassortants of H5N6 AIVs have become the predominant clade in China and pose challenges for public health and poultry. The study provides critical insight into the evolution and spread of H5N6 AIVs in China, emphasizing the importance of monitoring and controlling these viruses.

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N8) Clade 2.3.4.4b Viruses in Satellite-Tracked Wild Ducks, Ningxia, China, 2020

Xinru Lv et al.

Summary: During October 2020, 13 highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) clade 2.3.4.4b viruses were identified from wild ducks in Ningxia, China. These viruses were genetically related to H5N8 viruses that were circulating mainly in poultry in Europe earlier in 2020. The movements of H5N8 virus-infected wild ducks were also determined, providing evidence for the spreading of viruses.

Mutations during the adaptation of H7N9 avian influenza virus to mice lungs enhance human-like sialic acid binding activity and virulence in mice

Guoqing Wang et al.

Summary: The first avian H7N9 influenza outbreak in spring of 2013 posed a dual challenge to public health and poultry industry by unprecedented transmission from infected poultry to humans. Through generating a mouse-adapted H7N9 variant virus, the study found that the adapted virus showed higher replication efficiency and pathogenicity in mice.

Animal Models for Influenza Research: Strengths and Weaknesses

Thi-Quyen Nguyen et al.

Summary: Influenza poses a significant global public health threat due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. Despite advancements in understanding influenza viruses, there are knowledge gaps that require the development of novel universal vaccines and treatments. Animal models play a crucial role in investigating viral pathogenesis, transmission mechanisms, and vaccine efficacy, with the selection of appropriate models being key for researchers to gain a better understanding of influenza viruses.

Risk of Environmental Exposure to H7N9 Influenza Virus via Airborne and Surface Routes in a Live Poultry Market in Hebei, China

Cheng Zhang et al.

Summary: The H7N9 virus isolated from a live poultry market in China has demonstrated transmission through direct contact and aerosol in mammals, with adaptive mutations increasing virulence and aerosol transmissibility. This suggests a potential risk of human-to-human transmission through environmental or airborne routes.
