Pathogenicity, transmissibility, and receptor binding of a human-isolated influenza A (H10N5) virus.

ABSTRACT: Recently, human infections with H10 influenza viruses, including H10N8 and H10N3, have been reported. In January 2024, a case of H10N5 and H3N2 co-infection was reported in Zhejiang Province, China, which is the first human infection with H10N5 avian influenza virus (AIV) globally. Almost simultaneously, we isolated a wild bird-derived H10N5 strain similar to the human H10N5 strain. To assess the public health risk, it is necessary to understand the zoonotic characteristics of these novel H10N5 viruses. Here, we evaluated the biological characteristics of human H10N5, wild bird H10N5, as well as poultry H10N8 in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrate that the novel H10N5 isolates infected and replicated effectively in human lung epithelial cells. They infected BALB/c mice without
