Monne I, Joannis TM, Fusaro A, De Benedictis P, Lo. Reassortant Avian Influenza Virus (H5N1) in Poultry, Nigeria, 2007. Emerg Infect Dis. 2008 Apr;14(4):637-640.
Genetic characterization of a selection of influenza virus (H5N1) samples, circulating in 8 Nigerian states over a 39-day period in early 2007, indicates that a new reassortant strain is present in 7 of the 8 states. Our study reports an entirely different influenza virus (H5N1) reassortant becoming predominant and widespread in poultry.
