Genetic characteristics of waterfowl-origin H5N6 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses and their pathogenesis in ducks and chickens
15 Jun 2023
Abstract excerpt
Waterfowl, such as ducks, are natural hosts for avian influenza viruses (AIVs) and act as a bridge for transmitting the virus to humans or susceptible chickens. Since 2013, chickens and ducks have been threatened by waterfowl-origin H5N6 subtype AIVs in China. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the genetic evolution, transmission, and pathogenicity of these viruses. In this study, we determined the genetic...
