          Abstract

          H5N1 avian influenza viruses of the A/goose/Guangdong/1/96 lineage have been circulating in wild birds for many years, have inflicted significant economic losses on the poultry industry and have caused zoonotic infections since 1997. However, the recent spread of avian H5N1 virus to the Americas and its detection in mammals have raised concerns about its pandemic potential.

          Abstract

          Recent evidence of transmission of avian H5N1 viruses among mammals raises concerns about their pandemic potential. We need to increase our awareness and preparedness, and should also be thinking about safe farming practices to prevent the emergence of concerning pathogens in the future.

          Highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus infection in farmed minks, Spain, October 2022

          Montserrat Agüero, Isabella Monne, Azucena Sánchez … (2023)
          In October 2022, an outbreak in Europe of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) in intensively farmed minks occurred in northwest Spain. A single mink farm hosting more than 50,000 minks was involved. The identified viruses belong to clade 2.3.4.4b, which is responsible of the ongoing epizootic in Europe. An uncommon mutation (T271A) in the PB2 gene with potential public health implications was found. Our investigations indicate onward mink transmission of the virus may have occurred in the affected farm.

              Seroevidence for H5N1 influenza infections in humans: meta-analysis.

              Taia T. Wang, Michael K Parides, Peter Palese (2012)
              The prevalence of avian H5N1 influenza A infections in humans has not been definitively determined. Cases of H5N1 infection in humans confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO) are fewer than 600 in number, with an overall case fatality rate of >50%. We hypothesize that the stringent criteria for confirmation of a human case of H5N1 by WHO do not account for a majority of infections but rather the select few hospitalized cases that are more likely to be severe and result in poor clinical outcome. Meta-analysis shows that 1 to 2% of more than 12,500 study participants from 20 studies had seroevidence for prior H5N1 infection.
