Genetic characterization of highly pathogenic avian influenza A H5N8 viruses isolated from wild birds in Egypt

A newly emerged H5N8 influenza virus was isolated from green-winged teal in Egypt during December 2016. In this study, we provide a detailed characterization of full genomes of Egyptian H5N8 viruses and some virological features. Genetic analysis demonstrated that the Egyptian H5N8 viruses are highl...
