Invasions by Eurasian Avian Influenza Virus H6 Genes and Replacement of the Virus North American Clade
Dohna HZ et al. - Results suggested that Eurasian H6 subtype has invaded North America several times, with the first invasions occurring 10 years before the first detection of invading isolates. The members of the North American clade decreased from 100% in the 1980s to 20% in the 2000s among H6 isolates from North America. Unraveling the reasons for this large-scale gene movement between hemispheres might identify drivers of global AIV circulation. [more...]
