M. Okamatsu et al.. Characterization of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus A(H5N6), Japan, November 2016. EID Volume 23, Number 4-April 2017
Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) A(H5N6) were concurrently introduced into several distant regions of Japan in November 2016. These viruses were classified into the genetic clade 2.3.4.4c and were genetically closely related to H5N6 HPAIVs recently isolated in South Korea and China. In addition, these HPAIVs showed further antigenic drift.
