Lail et al. used tiled-amplicon Oxford Nanopore sequencing to detect and characterise H5N1 virus in pasteurised dairy, achieving over 90% genome coverage in viral RNA-positive samples. This method offers a rapid, accessible surveillance solution in regions without on-farm testing, supporting early detection and response to viral spread.
