Core Tip	Avian influenza viruses continue to evolve through re-assortment and mutation, posing persistent zoonotic and pandemic threats. This review synthesizes recent advances in molecular virology, highlights emerging high-risk strains, and evaluates next-generation vaccines and antiviral therapies. A deeper understanding of host–virus interactions, combined with advanced surveillance and innovative therapeutics, will be crucial for future pandemic prevention.
