Abstract excerpt
Migratory waterfowls are the most common reservoir for avian influenza virus (AIV), thus viral adaptation is required for efficient replication in land fowls. To date, low pathogenic (LP) H5 subtype AIVs have been isolated from migratory waterfowls, and the adaptation of these viruses to land fowls might lead to the generation of highly pathogenic AIVs. Thus, A/wild duck/Korea/50-5/2009 (H5N1) LPAIV was passaged...
