During the second outbreak of avian influenza H5N1 in Thailand, probable horizontal transmission among tigers was demonstrated in the tiger zoo. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of those viruses showed no differences from the first isolate obtained in January 2004. This finding has implications for influenza virus epidemiology and pathogenicity in mammals.
在泰国H5N1禽流感第二次爆发期间,老虎动物园证实老虎之间可能存在水平传播。对这些病毒进行测序和系统发育分析,结果显示与2004年1月获得的首个分离株没有差异。这一发现对流感病毒在哺乳动物中的流行病学和致病性具有启示意义。
