Abstract
A reassortant clade 2.3.4.4 avian influenza A(H5N6) virus was isolated from a fecal sample of a Mandarin duck (Aix galericulata) in South Korea during October 2016. This virus was genetically similar to H5N6 subtype virus isolates from China, Vietnam, Laos, and Hong Kong, including human isolates.
KEYWORDS:
Aix galericulata; H5N6 subtype; HPAIV; South Korea; clade 2.3.4.4; highly pathogenic avian influenza virus; influenza; influenza virus; mandarin duck; reassortant; respiratory infections; viruses; wild birds; zoonoses
