S. Nagarajan et al.. Novel Reassortant Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H5N8) Virus in Zoos, India. EID Volume 23, Number 4 - April 2017
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N8) viruses were detected in waterfowl at 2 zoos in India in October 2016. Both viruses were different 7:1 reassortants of H5N8 viruses isolated in May 2016 from wild birds in the Russian Federation and China, suggesting virus spread during southward winter migration of birds.
