Fernández-Díaz M, Villanueva-Pérez D, Tataje-Lavan. Detection and Genomic Characterization of an Avian Influenza Virus Subtype H5N1 (Clade 2.3.4.4b) Strain Isolated from a Pelican in Peru. Microbiol Resour Announc. 2023 May 1:e0019923
Surveillance helps us identify and monitor strains with zoonotic potential. A tracheal swab from a pelican on a Peruvian beach was H5N1 positive (clade 2.3.4.4b) using Oxford Nanopore´s MinION platform. The near-complete genome sequence of strain VFAR-140 will aid us in understanding avian influenza epidemiology and spread.
