Identification of polymerase gene mutations that affect viral replication in H5N1 influenza viruses isolated from pigeons
8 Dec 2016
Abstract excerpt
Highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 infects a wide range of host species, with a few cases of sporadic pigeon infections reported in the Middle East and Asia. However, the role of pigeons in the ecology and evolution of H5N1 viruses remains unclear. We previously reported two H5N1 virus strains, isolated from naturally infected pigeons in Egypt, that have several unique mutations in their viral...
