[h=1]Novel Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N6) Virus in the Netherlands, December 2017.[/h] Beerens N, Koch G, Heutink R, Harders F, Vries DPE, Ho C, Bossers A, Elbers A.
[h=3]Abstract[/h] A novel highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N6) virus affecting wild birds and commercial poultry was detected in the Netherlands in December 2017. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the virus is a reassortant of H5N8 clade 2.3.4.4 viruses and not related to the Asian H5N6 viruses that caused human infections.
