Highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N8) viruses were detected in waterfowl at 2 zoos in India in October 2016. Both viruses were different 7:1 reassortants of H5N8 viruses isolated in May 2016 from wild birds in the Russian Federation and China, suggesting virus spread during southward winter migration of birds.
2016年10月,在印度的两家动物园的水禽中检测到高致病性禽流感(H5N8)病毒。这两种病毒均为2016年5月从俄罗斯联邦和中国的野生鸟类中分离出的H5N8病毒的不同7:1重配体,这表明病毒在鸟类冬季向南迁徙期间传播。
