Emergence and spread of novel H5N8 and H5.4 clade 2.3.4.4 highly pathogenic avian influenza in 2020

Lewis, N. S. et al. Emergence and spread of novel H5N8, H5N5 and H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4 highly pathogenic avian influenza in 2020. I am an emigre. Microbes Infect. 10, 148–151 (2021).

The study, published in Nature on 18 October1, looked at changes to the virus’s genome over time and used data on reported outbreaks to track how it spread.

Andy Ramey is a wildlife geneticist with the US Geological Survey Alaska Science Center, and he says that the pathogens used to be very obvious in poultry. The implications of that for both wildlife and humans are still being considered.

It developed two different types in the same year. One spread from northern Europe to North America by birds moving across the Atlantic Ocean. The other was taken around the Mediterranean Sea into Africa.

Influence of LPAI viruses on the evolution of H5N1: implications for the livestock sector and for the elimination of highly pathogenic avian influenza

Because of this, LPAI viruses — especially a strain called H9N2 — play a major part in the evolution of H5N1, he adds. They are not well monitored. “Eradication or elimination strategies that target these low pathogenic viruses would be a huge step forward in terms of controlling avian influenza itself,” says Dhanasekaran.

There may be two sides of the coin here. HPAI viruses can mutate through interactions with LPAI ones. In both, the genome is split into eight segments that can be mixed and matched. “When two viruses co-infect the same cell, they could swap their genes when the virus is getting packaged,” says Dhanasekaran.
