Abstract
A novel highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N6) clade 2.3.4.4b virus was isolated from a poultry market in China that a person with a confirmed case had visited. Most genes of the avian and human H5N6 isolates were closely related. The virus also exhibited distinct antigenicity to the Re-11 vaccine strain.
Keywords: China; Novel H5N6 virus; antigenic characterization; avian influenza; highly pathogenic; influenza; respiratory infections; vaccination; vaccine-preventable diseases; viruses; zoonoses.
