Abstract
Three highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N8) viruses were detected in the migratory bird Podiceps nigricollis in Northwest China in June 2021. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that these H5N8 isolates belonged to clade 2.3.4.4b, which were highly homologous to strains isolated in China and South Korea. In this study, H5N8 virus infection in Podiceps nigricollis was detected using Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequencing technology and caused pathological changes in multiple organs...
