Lee IH, Jin SY, Seo SH. Genetic and pathogenic analysis of a novel reassortant H5N6 influenza virus isolated from waterfowl in South Korea in 2016. Arch Virol 2017 Jul 24
A novel reassortant highly pathogenic H5N6 influenza virus was isolated from waterfowl in South Korea in 2016. Seven genes of this virus originated from an H5N6 virus from China, whereas the remaining gene, PB1, was from an unknown virus. This virus productively infected pigs, which showed viral shedding through their noses and developed severe interstitial pneumonia.
