Abstract excerpt
For a better understanding of evolution of influenza viruses, a chicken-origin and wild-bird-origin low-pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAI) was serially passaged in chickens. Sequences of the hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes at each passage level were compared to those of the parental virus. Multiple mutations occurring early during passage were detected, but these were maintained during...
