Influenza Virus Evolution, Host Adaptation and Pandemic Formation (2010, background): “The H5N1 epizootics are unique, however, in causing infections and deaths in a large number of wild bird species (Alexander, 2007), occasional infections in wild and domestic mammals, severe and fatal human spill-over infections (Peiris et al., 2007), and in rare instances limited human-to-human tra”
Heterosubtypic Neutralizing Monoclonal Antibodies Cross-Protective against H5N1 and H1N1 Recovered from Human IgM+ Memory B Cells (2008, background): “The most serious pandemic threat in recent times has been posed by the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAI) H5N1 which emerged in South-East Asia in 1997 [1].”
A perspective on the structural and functional constraints for immune evasion: insights from the influenza virus (2017, background): “Some of these zoonotic subtypes can be highly pathogenic and have a high mortality rate (>50% of hospitalized individuals) when infecting humans [8, 9].”
