Abstract
Avian influenza A(H9N2) is an agricultural and public health threat. We characterized an H9N2 virus from a pet market in Bangladesh and demonstrated replication in samples from pet birds, swine tissues, human airway and ocular cells, and ferrets. Results implicated pet birds in the potential dissemination and zoonotic transmission of this virus.
KEYWORDS:
Bangladesh; H7N3; India; Influenza AH9N2; avian influenza; highly pathogenic avian influenza; influenza; mammals; pathogenesis; pet birds; poultry; respiratory infections; surveillance; vector-borne infections; viruses; zoonoses
