    Epidemiology
    Source of the outbreak(s) or origin of infection
    • Unknown or inconclusive
    Epidemiological comments The virus isolate was identified as H5N2 subtype by PCR and nucleotide sequencing. The comparative analysis of the obtained nucleotide sequences of the H gene and N gene fragments revealed that the isolate belongs to the Asian genetic lineage of highly pathogenic avian influenza (Clade 2.3.4.4.) which spread in the Russian Federation as well as in Asian, European, Middle Eastern and African countries in 2016-2018. The hemagglutinin cleavage site has a ?REKRRKRGLF- structure, characterizing the virus as potentially highly virulent.
