| identification and genetic analysis of h3n8 subtype influenza viruses isolated from domestic pigeons in central china. | a novel strain of h3n8 influenza virus was isolated from domestic pigeons during the avian influenza virus (aiv) surveillance in wet markets in anhui, china, during 2013. the virus was characterized by whole-genome sequencing with subsequent genetic comparison and phylogenetic analysis. phylogenetic analysis revealed that the na gene of aiv mapped to the north american lineage, and the remaining seven genes belong to a eurasian lineage. these findings indicated that this h3n8 virus is a novel na ... | 2016 | 26611442 |
