[h=1]New Reassortant Clade 2.3.4.4b Avian Influenza A(H5N6) Virus in Wild Birds, South Korea, 2017-18.[/h] Kwon JH, Jeong S, Lee DH, Swayne DE, Kim YJ, Lee SH, Noh JY, Erdene-Ochir TO, Jeong JH, Song CS.
[h=3]Abstract[/h] We isolated new reassortant avian influenza A(H5N6) viruses from feces of wild waterfowl in South Korea during 2017-18. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that reassortment occurred between clade 2.3.4.4b H5N8 and Eurasian low pathogenicity avian influenza viruses circulating in wild birds. Dissemination to South Korea during the 2017 fall migratory season followed.
