Transmission dynamics of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) and A(H5N6) viruses in wild birds, South Korea and Asia, 2023–2024. A, B) Transmission dynamics inferred using the hemagglutinin gene of H5N1 (A) and H5N6 (B) viruses, incorporating the host trait. C) Transmission dynamics inferred using the hemagglutinin genes of both HPAI H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b and H5N6 viruses. Arrows represent the direction of the viral transmission; annotated values represent Bayes factors. Thick arrow indicates a strongly supported route (Bayes factor >20, posterior probability >0.8). Orange indicates the largest source trait.
