Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) from Wild Birds, Poultry, and Mammals, Peru
Cristopher D Cruz, M Eliana Icochea, Victoria Espejo, Gilda Troncos, Gina R Castro-Sanguinetti, Megan A Schilling, Yeny Tinoco
We identified highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus clade 2.3.4.4b in wild birds, poultry, and a lion in Peru during November 2022-February 2023 and markers associated with transmission adaptation and antiviral drug resistance. Continuous genomic surveillance is needed to inform public health measures and avoid mass animal deaths.
