A highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N6) virus of clade 2.3.4.4 was detected in a domestic duck found dead in Taiwan during February 2017. The endemic situation and continued evolution of various reassortant highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses in Taiwan warrant concern about further reassortment and a fifth wave of intercontinental spread.
2017 年 2 月,在中国台湾地区死亡的一只家养鸭中检测到一株 2.3.4.4 分支的高致病性禽流感病毒(H5N6)。台湾地区各种重配高致病性禽流感病毒的地方性流行情况和持续进化令人关注其进一步重配和第五波洲际传播的可能性。
