Since Spring 2024, new genotypes of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b have been identified in the United States (US). These HPAI H5N1 genotypes have caused unprecedented multi-state outbreaks in poultry and dairy farms, and human infections. Here, we discuss the current situation of this outbreak and emphasizes the need for pre-pandemic preparedness to control HPAI H5N1 in both poultry and dairy farms in the US.
自2024年春季以来,美国已发现高致病性禽流感(HPAI)H5N1进化分支2.3.4.4b的新基因型。这些HPAI H5N1基因型已在家禽和奶牛场引发了前所未有的多州疫情,并导致了人类感染。在此,我们讨论此次疫情的现状,并强调在美国的家禽和奶牛场防控HPAI H5N1进行大流行前准备的必要性。
