TL;DR: The first human infection with a novel reassortant avian influenza A H10N8 virus is reported, which was isolated from a patient from Nanchang City, China and caused human infection and could have been associated with the death of a patient.

TL;DR: The results of a cross-sectional study of avian influenza viruses in live poultry markets in Nanchang, China, after the first human case of H10N8 virus infection was reported in the city found that the LPMs were heavily contaminated by AIVs, with H9, H10, and H5 being the predominant subtypes and more than half of the L PMs providing samples that were positive for the H10 subtype.

TL;DR: Interventions targeting high-risk workers should be developed and implemented by public health agencies to prevent the spread of H10N8 and policies that encourage farmers’ market workers to receive influenza vaccine should be develop, adopted, and enforced.

TL;DR: Corynebacterium poyangense sp. nov as mentioned in this paper is a new species of Corynebacteria, for which the type strain is 4H37-19T (=GDMCC 1.1738T = KACC 21671T).

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the prevalence of E. albertii in migratory birds from Poyang Lake using whole genome sequencing and found that birds may serve as an important reservoir for heterogeneous E.albertii.
