MARCHENKO VY, Susloparov IM, Kolosova NP, Goncharo. Highly pathogenic influenza H5N1 virus of clade 2.3.2.1c in Western Siberia. Arch Virol. 2016 Mar 3.
In the spring of 2015, avian influenza virus surveillance in Western Siberia resulted in isolation of several influenza H5N1 virus strains. The strains were isolated from several wild bird species. Investigation of biological features of those strains demonstrated their high pathogenicity for mammals. Phylogenetic analysis of the HA gene showed that the strains belong to clade 2.3.2.1c.
