Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A

Hatta, Y., De La Cruz, J., Murray, T., et al. (2025). Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Clade 2.3.4.4b Virus Infection in Poultry Farm Workers, Washington, USA, 2024. Emerging Infectious Diseases. 31(12):2297-2301.
The authors sequenced genes from clinical specimens of human cases in Washington state infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b. They found the virus cross-reacted well with existing candidate vaccine viruses and did not show changes associated with mammalian adaptation, increased infectivity, or transmissibility among humans.
