The Haemagglutinin Genes of the UK Clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 Avian Influenza Viruses from 2020 to 2022 Retain Strong Avian Phenotype
2024-07-09
Abstract excerpt
Since 2020, the United Kingdom (UK) has suffered repeated epizootics of clade 2.3.4.4b H5 high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) in wild birds and poultry, resulting in substantial economic losses due to enforced statutory control. The rapid evolution of H5 HPAIVs continues to raise concern with heightened zoonotic and pandemic risks. The immunodominant haemagglutinin glycoprotein (HA) is crucial for...
