    Low Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (LPAI) viruses may serve as precursors and reassortment partners of High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (HPAI) viruses, highlighting the importance of LPAI surveillance.

    We developed a non-invasive “3W” approach, in which mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) are attracted to baited water bins, allowing collection of water samples potentially containing avian...

    One Health for Surveillance (OH4Surveillance) is a three-year EU4Health-funded initiative aimed at strengthening zoonotic disease surveillance through a One Health approach. Since 2024, Belgium has participated in a consortium of 11 countries coordinated by Denmark.
    This study integrated serosurveillance into the monitoring of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) by serologically testing...

    Oral presentation

    Avian A(H5N1) in birds/poultry is a pandemic threat, but how imprinting and seasonal immunity shape antibody recognition of avian subtypes is unclear. We assessed whether birth-cohort imprinting was associated with H5N1/H7N9 binding antibodies and whether H1N1/H3N2 infections boosted antibodies within matched HA groups.
    We analysed 7,232 sera from 2,871 adults in the population-based MuSPAD...
