[h=1]Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N8) Virus, Democratic Republic of the Congo, 2017.[/h] Twabela AT, Tshilenge GM, Sakoda Y, Okamatsu M, Bushu E, Kone P, Wiersma L, Zamperin G, Drago A, Zecchin B, Monne I.
[h=3]Abstract[/h] In 2017, highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) virus was detected in poultry in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Whole-genome phylogeny showed the virus clustered with H5N8 clade 2.3.4.4B strains from birds in central and southern Asia. Emergence of this virus in central Africa represents a threat for animal health and food security.
