High pathogenicity avian influenza A (H5N1) viruses isolated from poultry and wild birds in Japan during the 2024–2025 season
The findings underscore ongoing genetic diversification of HPAI viruses in G2d and G2c subgroups and highlight the importance of continued in vivo and in vitro characterization of these viruses to monitor changes in genotypes, pathogenicity, and potential risk of spillover to cattle.
