In addition, the NA subtype of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus was identified, and it was confirmed that it was the H5N1 subtype.
1. Overview
(1) Genetic analysis conducted by the National Institute of Animal Health (Note) for pseudo-patients with highly pathogenic avian influenza confirmed on a farm in Sosa City, Chiba Prefecture (15th case in Japan, confirmed as pseudo-patient on January 26) As a result, a sequence judged to be highly pathogenic was confirmed.
(2) In response to this, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has determined that the poultry is a patient with highly pathogenic avian influenza based on the "Guidelines for the Prevention of Specific Livestock Infectious Diseases Concerning Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza and Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza". ..
(3) In addition, as a result of examination by the National Institute of Animal Health for the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, NA subtype was found and it was confirmed that it was H5N1 subtype.
