Reassortant Highly Pathogenic Influenza A(H5N6) Virus in Laos

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
In March 2014, avian influenza in poultry in Laos was caused by an emergent influenza A(H5N6) virus. Genetic analysis indicated that the virus had originated from reassortment of influenza A(H5N1) clade 2.3.2.1b, variant clade 2.3.4, and influenza A(H6N6) viruses that circulate broadly in duck populations in southern and eastern China.

Characterization of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus A(H5N6), Japan, November 2016 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) A(H5N6) were concurrently introduced into several distant regions of Japan in November 2016. These viruses were classified into the genetic clade 2.3.4.4c and were genetically closely related to H5N6 HPAIVs recently isolated in South Korea and China.
