Phylogenetic analysis of influenza A viruses (H5N1) isolated from Kuwait in 2007 show that (H5N1) sublineage clade 2.2 viruses continue to spread across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Virus isolates were most closely related to isolates from central Asia and were likely vectored by migratory birds.
对2007年从科威特分离出的甲型流感病毒(H5N1)进行的系统发育分析表明,2.2分支的(H5N1)亚系病毒继续在欧洲、非洲和中东传播。病毒分离株与来自中亚的分离株关系最为密切,很可能是由候鸟传播的。
