Serological surveillance highlights spillover rates of HPAIV H5 in carnivores and boar, indicating ongoing adaptation risks.
In North-East Germany's 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.
