Abstract excerpt
Some avian influenza (AI) viruses have a deletion of up to 20 to 30 amino acids in their neuraminidase (NA) stalk. This has been associated with changes in virus replication and host range. Currently prevalent H9N2 AI viruses have only a 2- or 3-amino-acid deletion, and such deletions were detected in G1 and Y280 lineage viruses, respectively. The effect of an NA deletion on the H9N2 phenotype has not been fully...
