Abstract
Two variants of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) virus were detected in dead poultry in Western Siberia, Russia, during August and September 2020. One variant was represented by viruses of clade 2.3.4.4b and the other by a novel reassortant between clade 2.3.4.4b and Eurasian low pathogenicity avian influenza viruses circulating in wild birds.
Keywords: H5N8; HPAIV; LPAIV; Russia; Western Siberia; avian influenza virus; clade 2.3.4.4b; influenza; reassortment; respiratory infections; viruses; zoonoses.
