Outbreaks of H5 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) have caused economic loss for the poultry industry and posed a threat to public health. In South Korea, novel reassortants of HPAIVs such as H5N6 and H5N8 had been circulating in poultry. Here, we will discuss the identity of recent novel reassortants of Korean H5 HPAIVs and the recent advances in vaccine development, which will be useful for controlling HPAIV transmission in poultry and for effectively preventing future epidemics and pandemics.
H5高致病性禽流感病毒(HPAIV)的暴发给家禽业造成了经济损失,并对公众健康构成了威胁。在韩国,H5N6和H5N8等新型HPAIV重配株一直在家禽中传播。在此,我们将讨论韩国H5 HPAIV近期新型重配株的特性以及疫苗开发的最新进展,这将有助于控制HPAIV在家禽中的传播,并有效预防未来的疫情和大流行。
