Abstract

In winter 2016-17, highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) and A(H5N5) viruses of clade 2.3.4.4 were identified in wild and domestic birds in Italy. We report the occurrence of multiple introductions and describe the identification in Europe of 2 novel genotypes, generated through multiple reassortment events. ispartof: Emerging Infectious Diseases vol:23 issue:9 pages:1543-1547 ispartof: location:United States status: published
