[h=1]Multiple Introductions of Influenza A(H5N8) Virus into Poultry, Egypt, 2017.[/h] Salaheldin AH, El-Hamid HSA, Elbestawy AR, Veits J, Hafez HM, Mettenleiter TC, El-Whab EMA.
[h=3]Abstract[/h] After high mortality rates among commercial poultry were reported in Egypt in 2017, we genetically characterized 4 distinct influenza A(H5N8) viruses isolated from poultry. Full-genome analysis indicated separate introductions of H5N8 clade 2.3.4.4 reassortants from Europe and Asia into Egypt, which poses a serious threat for poultry and humans.
