[h=1]Outbreaks among Wild Birds and Domestic Poultry Caused by Reassorted Influenza A(H5N8) Clade 2.3.4.4 Viruses, Germany, 2016.[/h] Pohlmann A, Starick E, Harder T, H?per D, Globig A, Staubach C, Dietze K, Grund C, Strebelow G, Ulrich RG, Schink?the J, Teifke JP, Conraths FJ, Mettenleiter TC, Beer M.
[h=3]Abstract[/h] In November 2016, an influenza A(H5N8) outbreak caused deaths of wild birds and domestic poultry in Germany. Clade 2.3.4.4 virus was closely related to viruses at the Russia-Mongolia border in 2016 but had new polymerase acidic and nucleoprotein segments. These new strains may be more efficiently transmitted to and shed by birds.
