Abstract

In 2007, a total of eight H9N2 influenza viruses were isolated from the water and fowl feces in Dongting Lake wetland, China. The genomes of the eight viruses were sequenced, and all eight gene segments were subjected to phylogenetic analysis. The results showed that all the isolates belonged to the same genotype, in which the HA, NA and NS gene segments were Chicken/Beijing/94-like; the PB2, PB1, PA and NP gene segments were Chicken/Shanghai/F/98-like; and the M gene was Quail/Hong Kong/G1/97-like. Animal experiments showed low pathogenicity of the selected viruses for chickens, although some chickens died after inoculation. The viruses showed no overt clinical signs in mice, but they could replicate in murine lungs prior to adaptation.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
