        abstract = {A subtype of the influenza A virus known as avian influenza A (H9N2) primarily affects birds, while occasional human infections have also been observed. This overview highlights the mild clinical manifestations commonly associated with H9N2 infections in humans and covers the latest case that was reported to the WHO from India in May 2024. The virus co-circulates with more dangerous strains and is endemic in domestic poultry throughout Eurasia, making surveillance efforts more difficult. Its emergence in the 1960s and subsequent global spread, especially in Asia, are revealed by the historical context. To lower infection rates in poultry and safeguard the public's health, preventive measures have been put in place, such as vaccination and biosecurity procedures. The WHO stresses the necessity of ongoing monitoring and awareness in order to track any potential effects of H9N2 on human health.},
