Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The continuous evolution of highly pathogenic H5N6 avian influenza viruses (AIVs) causes outbreaks in wildfowl and poultry, and occasional human infections. The aim of this study was to better understand the genetic relationships between these H5N6 AIVs from eastern China and other AIVs. METHODS: In 2016, 1623 cloacal swabs were sampled from poultry in 18 LPMs in eastern China, and subsequently...
