Updated RNA vaccine protects mice against emerging H5N1 strain
A recent study published in Nature Communications by researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and collaborators evaluated a replicating RNA (repRNA) vaccine designed to target a contemporary bovine-derived H5N1 virus and compared its efficacy to a vaccine based on a historical H5N1 strain used in stockpiled vaccines.

Pasteurisation temperatures effectively inactivate influenza A viruses in milk - PubMed
In late 2023 an H5N1 lineage of high pathogenicity avian influenza virus (HPAIV) began circulating in American dairy cattle Concerningly, high titres of virus were detected in cows' milk, raising the concern that milk could be a route of human infection. Cows' milk is typically pasteurised to render …

Pre-exposure antibody prophylaxis protects macaques from severe influenza - PubMed
Influenza virus pandemics and seasonal epidemics have claimed countless lives. Recurrent zoonotic spillovers of influenza viruses with pandemic potential underscore the need for effective countermeasures. In this study, we show that pre-exposure prophylaxis with broadly neutralizing antibody (bnAb) …

Preparedness, prevention and control related to zoonotic avian influenza - PubMed
A risk assessment framework was developed to evaluate the zoonotic potential of avian influenza (AI), focusing on virus mutations linked to phenotypic traits related to mammalian adaptation identified in the literature. Virus sequences were screened for the presence of these mutations and their geog …
