Dispersal, adaptation and persistence of H5N1 in the sub-Antarctic and Antarctica

2026-03-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> High pathogenicity avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5N1 reached the sub-Antarctic and Antarctica in 2023, subsequently spreading to remote locations within this region where it had devastating impacts on seal, penguin and albatross populations. The threat to marine wildlife over this broad area exemplifies the need to understand H5N1 long-distance dispersal and evolution. We obtained 104 novel vira...
