The ongoing H5N1 outbreak in the Americas caused by clade 2.3.4.4 is causing unprecedented impact in poultry and wild birds. In November 2022, a highly pathogenic avian influenza A outbreak was declared in poultry in Ecuador, affecting more than 1.1 million heads of poultry in two farms by February 2023. Phylogenetic analysis shows that the virus clade is 2.3.4.4b, and to the best of our knowledge, this is the first scientific publication reporting this clade in South America.
在美洲由 2.3.4.4 分支引起的 H5N1 疫情正在给家禽和野生鸟类带来前所未有的影响。2022 年 11 月,厄瓜多尔的家禽中爆发了高致病性禽流感疫情,到 2023 年 2 月,两家农场的受感染家禽超过 110 万只。系统进化分析表明,该病毒属于 2.3.4.4b 分支,据我们所知,这是首次在南美洲报告该分支。
