Novel Avian Influenza A(H5N6) Virus in Wild Birds, South Korea, 2023

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We isolated novel reassortant avian influenza A(H5N6) viruses containing genes from clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 virus and low pathogenicity avian influenza viruses in carcasses of whooper swans and bean geese in South Korea during December 2023.

139D in NS1 Contributes to the Virulence of H5N6 Influenza Virus in Mice [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
H5N6, the highly pathogenic avian influenza A virus (IAV) of clade 2.3.4.4, causes global outbreaks in poultry. H5N6 has become the dominant IAV subtype in waterfowls and causes human infections with high mortality rates. Here, we isolated two strains of H5N6, XGD and JX, from chickens and ducks, respectively.

N-linked glycosylation enhances hemagglutinin stability in avian H5N6 influenza virus to promote adaptation in mammals. [PDF]

, 2022
Clade 2.3.4.4 avian H5Ny viruses, namely H5N2, H5N6, and H5N8, have exhibited unprecedented intercontinental spread in poultry. Among them, only H5N6 viruses are frequently reported to infect mammals and cause serious human infections. In this study, the

Influenza A(H5N6) Virus Reassortant, Southern China, 2014 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
To the Editor: Avian influenza A viruses generally do not cause disease in aquatic birds, the natural reservoir of these viruses (1). Influenza A(H5N6) was first isolated from mallards by Garcia et al. in 1975 (2). Influenza viruses continue to evolve and reassort to generate novel, highly pathogenic viruses.

Human Infection with a Novel Avian Influenza A(H5N6) Virus [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2015
To the Editor: Multiple reassortant strains of novel, highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5) viruses in clade 2.3.4.4 have recently emerged and spread in Asia, Europe, and North America, giving rise to multiple subtypes (H5N2, H5N5, H5N6, and H5N8).1–3 We report on a 59-year-old man in Guangzhou, China, with influenza A(H5N6) infection and associated ...

Key amino acid position 272 in neuraminidase determines the replication and virulence of H5N6 avian influenza virus in mammals

iScience, 2022
Summary: Avian influenza H5N6 virus not only wreaks economic havoc in the poultry industry but also threatens human health. Strikingly, as of August 2022, 78 human beings were infected with H5N6, and the spike in the number of human infections with H5N6 ...

A reassortant highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N6 virus originating from the wildbird-origin H5N6 and the poultry H9N2/H7N9 viruses in Xinjiang, China [PDF]

Medycyna Weterynaryjna, 2021
The asian lineage of H5, H7, and H9 avian influenza viruses (AIVs) is the most prevalent in the world, and the co-existence of H5, H7, and H9 viruses provide an opportunity to generate some novel reassortants. Herein we report our isolation of two H5N6 virus strains (named XJ-H5N6) from domestic geese in live poultry markets (LPMs) in Urumqi during the
