We show that bat H9N2 has high replication and transmission potential in ferrets, efficiently infects human lung explant cultures, and is able to evade antiviral inhibition by MxA in transgenic B6 mice. Together with its low antigenic similarity to the N2 of seasonal human strains, bat H9N2 fulfils key criteria for pre-pandemic IAVs.
Several countries from the southern hemisphere have been reporting an early start of the increase of acute respiratory infection during the recent 2023 season of circulation of respiratory viruses, suggesting a shift of seasonal pattern observed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
