Emerg Infect Dis. 2023 Dec;29(12):2572-2576. doi: 10.3201/eid2912.230505.ABSTRACTWe 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.PMID:37987605 | DOI:10.3201/eid2912.230505
