Full genome sequence of a recombinant H5N1 influenza virus from a condor in southern China

J Virol. 2012 Jul;86(14):7722-3. doi: 10.1128/JVI.01043-12.

Abstract

In this study, we report the first genomic information on an H5N1 avian influenza virus (AIV) isolated from a condor in Guangdong Province in southern China in 2003. Full genome sequencing and phylogenetic analyses show that it is a recombinant virus containing genome segments derived from the Eurasia and North America gene pools. This will be useful for analyses of the evolution of H5N1 AIV in southern China.
