Avian influenza virus surveillance across New Zealand and its subantarctic islands detects H1N9 in migratory shorebirds, but not 2.3.4.4b HPAI H5N1, by @jemmageoghegan.bsky.socialwww.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Avian influenza virus surveillance across New Zealand and its subantarctic islands detects H1N9 in migratory shorebirds, but not 2.3.4.4b HPAI H5N1

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus has never been detected in New Zealand. The potential impact of this virus on New Zealand's wild birds would be catastrophic. To expand our knowledge of ...

But my biggest gratitude is reserved for the amazing early career scientists who led the work: @hannahlouwallace.bsky.social and Jordan Wight. They did the actual testing and kept everyone (and the preprint) up to date, leveraging their prior experience doing HPAI surveillance in Canadian birds.
