Description
In autumn twenty twenty-five, a highly pathogenic bird flu virus killed Eurasian cranes in Germany in large numbers. Günther and co-authors identify it as avian influenza A H five N one, clade two three four four b, genotype E A twenty twenty-four D I two point one. The virus spread through the body and struck the western migrating subpopulation of the species. Cranes crowd at feeding and resting sites, and that closeness likely sped the virus from bird to bird.
