Abstract

As the avian influenza virus H5N1 swept from Asia across Russia to Europe, Nigeria was the first country in Africa to report the emergence of this highly pathogenic virus. Here we analyse H5N1 sequences in poultry from two different farms in Lagos state and find that three H5N1 lineages were independently introduced through routes that coincide with the flight paths of migratory birds, although independent trade imports cannot be excluded.

摘要

随着禽流感病毒H5N1从亚洲席卷俄罗斯进入欧洲，尼日利亚成为非洲首个报告出现这种高致病性病毒的国家。在此，我们分析了拉各斯州两个不同农场家禽的H5N1序列，发现三个H5N1谱系是通过与候鸟飞行路线一致的途径独立传入的，不过也不能排除独立的贸易进口途径。
