Pasteurisation temperatures effectively inactivate influenza A viruses in milk

In response to the emergence of H5N1 influenza A viruses as a novel pathogen of cattle, this study shows that pasteurisation of cows’ milk should effectively inactivate the virus, but that it remains infectious in unpasteurised milk.

Local colonisations and extinctions of European birds are poorly explained by changes in climate suitability

Species’ range shifts projections are usually based on climate and land cover variables. Here, the authors use long-term records for bird species to show that species distribution models accounting for climate and land cover often fail to predict observed range shifts.

A(H2N2) and A(H3N2) influenza pandemics elicited durable cross-reactive and protective antibodies against avian N2 neuraminidases

Using more than 300 serum samples from individuals with an age range of 1-88 years old, the authors here show that older adults possess higher breadth of antibody reactivity to avian influenza virus (AIV) neuraminidases, potentially explaining the age-specific risks of AIV human infections.

The episodic resurgence of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5 virus

Recent resurgences of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5 viruses have different origins and virus ecologies as their epicentres shift and viruses evolve, with changes indicating increased adaptation among domestic birds.

Life history, climate and biogeography interactively affect worldwide genetic diversity of plant and animal populations

A global analysis of population-level variation in genetic diversity for 727 plant and animal species finds that biogeography, life history traits and climate are important for predicting the distribution of local genetic diversity, and should be considered together when assessing the local conservation status of species.
