Abstract
Novel Avian Influenza A(H5N8) Viruses in Migratory Birds, China, 2013-2014.
Highlights
To the Editor: Novel highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N8) virus infections were first detected in poultry in eastern China in 2010 (1); the virus caused outbreaks in South Korea and Japan in 2014 (2) and reached Europe and North America by early 2015 (3–6)
Phylogenetic analysis indicated that novel HPAI subtype H5N8 viruses might have originated in China and circulated in East Asia countries and that the global geographic dissemination of this virus was strongly associated with the migration of wild birds (7)
We report the presence of novel H5N8 strains from migratory birds sampled in Shanghai from October 2013 through December 2014
