5 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
• Avian influenza virus (AIV) spread to pinnipeds caused a remarkable mortality. • Phylogenetic analyses of AIV strains isolated from pinniped species was performed. • AIV strains isolated from pinnipeds bear characteristics of a highly pathogenic form. • Different evolutionary histories of different influenza virus genes were observed. • Amino acid substitutions that confer advantages for infecting mammals were...
