Ramey AM, Beckmen KB, Saalfeld DT, Nicholson KL, M. Exposure of Wild Mammals to Influenza A(H5N1) Virus, Alaska, USA, 2020-2023. Emerg Infect Dis. 2025 Apr;31(4):804-808
Serum samples from wild mammals inhabiting Alaska, USA, showed that 4 species, including Ursus arctos bears and Vulpes vulpes foxes, were exposed to influenza A(H5N1) viruses. Results indicated some mammals in Alaska survived H5N1 virus infection. Surveillance efforts may be improved by incorporating information on susceptibility and detectable immune responses among wild mammals.
