Since the avian influenza outbreak began in the U.S. in early 2022, millions of birds have been detected with Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HAPI) influenza type A viruses.

However, researchers in Georgia are making progress with an experimental vaccine designed to protect against the three most common causes of fungal infections, Aspergillus, Candida, and Pneumocystis.
