Lee DH, et al. Genome Sequences of an H9N2 Avian Influenza Virus Strain Found in Pakistan in 2017. Microbiol Resour Announc. 2019 Jul 11;8(28).
In 2017, we isolated an H9N2 avian influenza virus in Pakistan. Genetic analysis showed that the A/chicken/Kasoor/SI36/2017(H9N2) isolate belongs to the G1 lineage. In addition, this isolate possesses mammalian host-specific mutations which could possibly favor interspecies transmission, suggesting that Pakistani H9N2 viruses are still potentially infectious for mammals.
