"UKHSA has confirmed a case of influenza A(H5N1) in a person in the West Midlands region. Bird-to-human transmission of avian influenza is rare and has previously occurred a small number of times in the UK."

"The birds were infected with the DI.2 genotype"

This is the preprint! Metabolic modeling of Avian Pathogenic E. coli, great work from former PhD student Huijun Long and bioinformatician HuiHai Wu, with @jaimehat.bsky.social and Rob La Ragione.
Use of Genome Scale Metabolic Reconstructions of Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) phylogroups for the identification of lineage-specific metabolic pathways
Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) are a genetically diverse pathotype primarily associated with extra-intestinal infections in birds. APEC lineages are predicted to have unique metabolic capabi...
