Genomic surveillance of avian-origin influenza A viruses causing human disease
Editorial summary Avian influenza A viruses (AIVs) pose a threat to global health because of their sporadic zoonotic transmission and potential to cause pandemics. Genomic surveillance of AIVs has become a powerful, cost-effective approach for studying virus transmission, evolution, and disseminatio...
