Publication date Type Key finding PMID
2026-06 Reservoir Ecology Phylogenetic analysis suggests the shrew amdoparvovirus forms a distinct clade consistent with ancient divergence or long-term cryptic circulation in small mammal reservoirs. 42002046
2026-06 Molecular Adaptation The two H6 avian influenza virus isolates carried molecular markers associated with mammalian adaptation, suggesting potential cross-species transmission risk. 41931194
2026-05-28 Zoonotic Surveillance Circovirus (GullCV) was detected in a Sterna hirundinacea specimen during molecular surveillance of birds and mammals on the Brazilian coast, showing 83% nucleotide identity with circoviruses previously found in gulls. 42209892
2026-05-26 Molecular Adaptation The Q226H mutation in avian H5N1 hemagglutinin enables binding to human-type α2-6 sialic acid receptors, representing a structural adaptation towards human infection. 42244705
2026-05-26 Spillover Event A human case in British Columbia was identified with infection by a clade 2.3.4.4b H5 avian influenza virus containing a mixture of 226Q/H in hemagglutinin. 42244705
2026-05-20 Zoonotic Surveillance Wild mammals in Northern Italy were monitored for SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses, providing evidence of coronavirus circulation and serological exposure to SARS-CoV-2. 42163369
2026-05-11 Zoonotic Surveillance Surveillance across North America documented widespread detections of H5Nx clade 2.3.4.4b viruses in wild birds and poultry, with repeated spillover events into wild and domestic mammals. 42114152
2026-05-09 Zoonotic Surveillance A meta-transcriptomic survey of 22 wild animal species on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau revealed rich virome diversity and identified 36 viral genera with potential pathogenicity to humans or animals. 42106372
2026-04-20 Spillover Event H5N1 avian influenza viruses circulating in wild birds in North America spilled over into mammals. 42079231
2026-04-09 Spillover Event Traded mammals were significantly more likely to share pathogens with humans, indicating that wildlife trade contributes to animal-to-human spillover. 41955375
2026-04-09 Zoonotic Surveillance Traded mammals were found to share zoonotic pathogens with humans more frequently than nontraded mammals, based on global wildlife trade surveillance data spanning 40 years. 41955375
2026-04-01 Outbreak Investigation Confirmed H5N1 detections were collected from 2022-2024 in the contiguous United States to inform outbreak risk prediction. 41959793
2026-04 Cross Species Transmission Gammacoronaviruses that normally infect avian hosts were found infecting marine mammals, showing cross-species transmission from birds to cetaceans. 41950284
2026-04 Genomic Evolution Cetacean gammacoronavirus spike proteins show genomic and structural evolution including acquisition of a unique S10 domain, indicating molecular adaptations underlying host range expansion to marine mammals. 41950284
2026-03-27 Cross Species Transmission H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b viruses have spilled over from avian populations into diverse mammalian hosts, evidencing animal-to-animal cross-species transmission. 42042777
2026-03-26 Zoonotic Surveillance The study compiled global records of viruses from urban-adapted mammal species across 116 countries to assess viral diversity and zoonotic risk. 41888594
2026-03-26 Genomic Evolution Viruses from urban-adapted mammals such as raccoon dogs and red foxes were shown to be phylogenetically related to human viruses, implying shared evolutionary lineages and host connectivity. 41888594
2026-03-26 Spillover Event The paper reports possible viral spillback between humans and urban-adapted mammals based on phylogenetic similarity of their viruses. 41888594
