[h=3]Abstract[/h] We detected a novel reassortant highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N2) virus in 3 poultry farms in Egypt. The virus carried genome segments of a pigeon H9N2 influenza virus detected in 2014, a nucleoprotein segment of contemporary chicken H9N2 viruses from Egypt, and hemagglutinin derived from the 2.3.4.4b H5N8 virus clade.
[h=4]KEYWORDS:[/h] Egypt; H5N2; avian influenza virus; broiler chickens; highly pathogenic avian influenza; influenza; poultry; reassortant; respiratory infections; viruses; zoonoses
