Investigating the Genetic Diversity of H5 Avian Influenza Viruses in the United Kingdom from 2020–2022

ABSTRACT Since 2020, the United Kingdom and Europe have experienced annual epizootics of high-pathogenicity avian influenza virus (HPAIV). The first epizootic, during the autumn/winter of 2020–2021, involved six H5Nx subtypes, although H5N8 HPAIV dominated in the United Kingdom. While genetic assess...
