Influenza A(H6N1) Virus in Dogs, Taiwan.
Lin HT, Wang CH, Chueh LL, Su BL, Wang LC.
Abstract
We determined the prevalence of influenza A virus in dogs in Taiwan and isolated A/canine/Taiwan/E01/2014. Molecular analysis indicated that this isolate was closely related to influenza A(H6N1) viruses circulating in Taiwan and harbored the E627K substitution in the polymerase basic 2 protein, which indicated its ability to replicate in mammalian species.
