Description
Jesiaman Silaban and co-authors trace bird flu lines in Australia and New Zealand in a 2025 study. Deadly H7 flu strains hit poultry farms in both lands from 2024, after years when finds sat mostly in wild birds. Where the farm strains came from was the key question.
The team pulled all public H7 gene reads from animals in the region across a decade. Family trees split the farm strains into local Australian and New Zealand branches. No tight link to Asian lines showed, which argues against a fresh import. The team urge steady gene watch on farms and in wild birds to catch new forms early.
