Enhanced Pathogenicity and Contact Transmissibility of Human-origin Avian Influenza H5N1 Clade 2.3.4.4b Genotype B3.13 Compared to D1.1 in Ferrets

2026-08-17

Abstract excerpt

Since its emergence in 2020, multiple genotypes of the H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b have been identified, with B3.13 and D1.1 emerging in the USA as two major and concerning genotypes. However, their relative pathogenicity and transmissibility in mammals have not been fully elucidated. We compared the pathogenicity and transmissibility of the first two human H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b cases caused by B3.13 in Texas (A/Texas/37/20...
