Regional Transmission and Reassortment of 2.3.4.4b Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) Viruses in Bulgarian Poultry 2017/18 (2020)
Journal Article
Venkatesh, D., Brouwer, A., Goujgoulova, G., Ellis, R., Seekings, J., Brown, I., & Lewis, N. (2020). Regional Transmission and Reassortment of 2.3.4.4b Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) Viruses in Bulgarian Poultry 2017/18. Viruses, 12(6), 605

Between 2017 and 2018, several farms across Bulgaria reported outbreaks of H5 highly-pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses. In this study we used genomic and traditional epidemiological analyses to trace the origin and subsequent spread of these...

Outbreak severity of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) viruses is inversely correlated to polymerase complex activity and interferon induction (2020)
Journal Article
Vigeveno, R. M., Poen, M. J., Parker, E., Holwerda, M., de Haan, K., van Montfort, T., Lewis, N. S., Russell, C. A., Fouchier, R. A., de Jong, M. D., & Eggink, D. (2020). Outbreak severity of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) viruses is inversely correlated to polymerase complex activity and interferon induction. Journal of Virology, https://doi.org/10.1128/JVI.00375-20

Highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) viruses first emerged in China in 2010 and in 2014 spread throughout Asia and to Europe and The United States via migrating birds. Influenza A(H5N8) viruses were first detected in the Netherlands in 2014 and...

Detection of H3N8 influenza A virus with multiple mammalian-adaptive mutations in a rescued Grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) pup (2020)
Journal Article
Venkatesh, D., Bianco, C., Nunez, A., Collins, R., Thorpe, D., Reid, S. M., Brookes, S. M., Essen, S., McGinn, N., Seekings, J., Cooper, J., Brown, I. H., & Lewis, N. S. (2020). Detection of H3N8 influenza A virus with multiple mammalian-adaptive mutations in a rescued Grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) pup. Virus Evolution, 6(1), https://doi.org/10.1093/ve/veaa016

Avian Influenza A Viruses (IAV) in different species of seals display a spectrum of pathogenicity, from subclinical infection to mass mortality events. Here we present an investigation of avian IAV infection in a 3-4 month old Grey seal (Halichoerus...
