Hisanaga, T., Soos, C., Lewis, N., Lung, O., Suderman, M., & Berhane, Y. (2021). Genetic and Antigenic Characterization of Avian Avulavirus Type 6 (AAvV-6) Circulating in Canadian Wild Birds (2005-2017). Viruses, 13(4), https://doi.org/10.3390/v13040543

We describe for the first time the genetic and antigenic characterization of 18 avian avulavirus type-6 viruses (AAvV-6) that were isolated from wild waterfowl in the Americas over the span of 12 years. Only one of the AAvV-6 viruses isolated failed... Read More about Genetic and Antigenic Characterization of Avian Avulavirus Type 6 (AAvV-6) Circulating in Canadian Wild Birds (2005-2017).

The first detection of a Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N8 virus in Bulgaria dates back to December 2016. Since then, many outbreaks caused by HPAI H5 viruses from clade 2.3.4.4B have been reported in both domestic and wild birds in diffe...

Characterization of contemporary 2010.1 H3N2 swine influenza A viruses circulating in United States pigs (2021)
Journal Article
Powell, J., Abente, E., Chang, J., Souza, C., Rajao, D., Anderson, T., Zeller, M., Gauger, P., Lewis, N., & Vincent, A. (2021). Characterization of contemporary 2010.1 H3N2 swine influenza A viruses circulating in United States pigs. Journal of Virology, 553, 94-101. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.virol.2020.11.006

In 2012, swine influenza surveillance detected a novel reassorted influenza A virus (IAV) strain containing human-seasonal hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). Subsequently, these viruses reassorted, maintaining only the human-origin H3, which...

Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV) can be carried long distances by migratory wild birds and by poultry trade. Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is often lethal in domestic poultry and can sporadically infect and cause severe re...

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Viruses at the Wild–Domestic Bird Interface in Europe: Future Directions for Research and Surveillance (2021)
Journal Article
Verhagen, J. H., Fouchier, R. A., & Lewis, N. (in press). Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Viruses at the Wild–Domestic Bird Interface in Europe: Future Directions for Research and Surveillance. Viruses, 13(2), 212. https://doi.org/10.3390/v13020212

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreaks in wild birds and poultry are no longer a rare phenomenon in Europe. In the past 15 years, HPAI outbreaks—in particular those caused by H5 viruses derived from the A/Goose/Guangdong/1/1996 lineage th...
