Abstract
We report here the complete genome sequence of a novel reassortant H4N2 avian influenza virus strain, A/duck/Guangxi/125D17/2012(H4N2) (GX125D17), isolated from a duck in Guangxi Province, China in 2012. We obtained the complete genome sequence of the GX125D17 virus isolation by PCR, cloning, and sequencing. Sequence analysis revealed that this H4N2 virus strain was a novel reassortant avian influenza virus (AIV). Information about the complete genome sequence of the GX125D17 virus strain will be useful for epidemiological studies.
Highlights
We report here the complete genome sequence of a novel reassortant H4N2 avian influenza virus strain, A/duck/Guangxi/ 125D17/2012(H4N2) (GX125D17), isolated from a duck in Guangxi Province, China in 2012
Avian influenza virus (AIV) is a single-strained, negative-sense RNA virus belonging to the family Orthomyxoviridae [1,2]
Enhanced the surveillance of H4N2 subtype of avian influenza virus (AIV) is of great importance
Summary
We report here the complete genome sequence of a novel reassortant H4N2 avian influenza virus strain, A/duck/Guangxi/ 125D17/2012(H4N2) (GX125D17), isolated from a duck in Guangxi Province, China in 2012. Avian influenza virus (AIV) is a single-strained, negative-sense RNA virus belonging to the family Orthomyxoviridae [1,2]. Avian influenza viruses are divided into subtypes based on the two major surface glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (HA), and neuraminidase (NA). The H4 subtype of AIVs have been circulating and evolving in live poultry markets (LPM) in China [7]. The H4N2 subtype of avian influenza virus has infected migratory water birds [8] and domestic ducks [9].
