Abstract excerpt
Genetic characterization of the whole genome of four avian influenza H7N7 viruses isolated in three successive winter seasons (2007 to 2009) from wild mallards in three cities in Poland was performed. All of the tested strains were of low pathogenicity and no molecular marker associated with an increased adaptation to poultry, mammals or resistance to antiviral drugs was found. The major outcome of the...
