Abstract excerpt
In recent decades, multiple novel reassortant avian influenza viruses (AIVs) carrying internal genes derived from H9N2 viruses have emerged in poultry in China and have repeatedly caused human infections, highlighting the pivotal role of the H9N2 internal genes cassette in facilitating cross-species transmission. In this study, five H6N1 and one H6N2 AIVs were isolated from chickens and Houdan chickens exhibiting...
