H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b dynamics in experimentally infected calves and cows.

Durable partner Martin Beer has studied H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b dynamics in experimentally infected calves and cows. Their data suggest that in addition to H5N1 B3.13, other HPAIV H5N1 strains have the potential to replicate in the udder of cows and that milk and milking procedures, rather than respiratory spread, are likely the primary routes of H5N1 transmission between cattle.
