Abstract
We identified influenza A(H9N2) virus G1 lineage in poultry in Burkina Faso. Urgent actions are needed to raise awareness about the risk associated with spread of this zoonotic virus subtype in the area and to construct a strategy for effective prevention and control of influenza caused by this virus.
Keywords:
Burkina Faso; H9N2 subtype; West Africa; influenza; influenza virus; phylogeny; poultry; respiratory infections; viruses; zoonoses.
