Abstract
An avian influenza virus strain, A/mallard/Balkhash/6304/2014 (H1N1), was isolated during a wild bird monitoring study in Kazakhstan in 2014. The virus was isolated from a wild mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) in eastern Kazakhstan. Here, we present the near-complete genome sequence of the virus.
Highlights
Avian influenza virus (AIV) is a single-stranded segmented negative-sense RNA virus belonging to the Orthomyxoviridae family, genus Influenzavirus A (1)
This study documents the isolation of AIV during a global spread of postpandemic swine H1N1 influenza virus, and it was interesting to compare a local avian strain with human pandemic strains
A BLAST search of hemagglutinin and neuraminidase gene sequences revealed their similarity at the nucleotide level to those of AIV strains isolated in Caucasus and Russia (Table 1)
Summary
Avian influenza virus (AIV) is a single-stranded segmented negative-sense RNA virus belonging to the Orthomyxoviridae family, genus Influenzavirus A (1). This study documents the isolation of AIV during a global spread of postpandemic swine H1N1 influenza virus, and it was interesting to compare a local avian strain with human pandemic strains.
