For viruses such as avian influenza, immunity within a host population can drive the emergence of new strains by selecting for viruses with novel antigens that avoid immune recognition. The accumulation of acquired immunity with age is hypothesized t... Read More about Antibody responses to avian influenza viruses in wild birds broaden with age.

The Global Consortium For H5N8 And Related Influenza Viruses, . (2016). Role for migratory wild birds in the global spread of avian influenza. Science, 354(6309), 213-217. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aaf8852

Avian influenza viruses affect both poultry production and public health. A subtype H5N8 (clade 2.3.4.4) virus, following an outbreak in poultry in South Korea in January 2014, rapidly spread worldwide in 2014–2015. Our analysis of H5N8 viral sequenc...
