After high mortality rates among commercial poultry were reported in Egypt in 2017, we genetically characterized 4 distinct influenza A(H5N8) viruses isolated from poultry. Full-genome analysis indicated separate introductions of H5N8 clade 2.3.4.4 reassortants from Europe and Asia into Egypt, which poses a serious threat for poultry and humans.
2017 年埃及报告商业家禽死亡率高后,我们对从家禽中分离出的 4 株不同的流感 A(H5N8)病毒进行了基因特征分析。全基因组分析表明,H5N8 2.3.4.4 分支的欧洲和亚洲重组病毒分别传入埃及,这对家禽和人类构成了严重威胁。
