Show abstract
In North-East Germanys offshore islands and mainland coast, wild ruminants, boar, and carnivores were tested for H5-HPAI antibodies. Wild ruminants were seronegative; 3.5% of boar and 12.5-21.9% of carnivores were seropositive, evidencing frequent spillover. Because such events may accelerate mammalian--and ultimately human--adaptation, sustained One- Health monitoring is essential. SummaryAcross offshore islands and the mainland coast of North-East Germany, H5 HPAI serosurveillance in wildlife found no seroconversion in ruminants, but positives in 3.5% of boar and 12.5-21.9% of carnivores, indicating ongoing spillover and risk of avian-to- mammalian adaptation.
