Complete Genome Sequence of a Novel Reassortant H6N8 Avian Influenza Virus Isolated from Wild Waterfowl in Poyang Lake, China
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACT Here, we report the complete genome sequence of an H6N8 avian influenza virus (AIV) isolated from wild waterfowl in Poyang Lake, China, in 2016. Phylogenetic analysis showed that it was a novel reassortant AIV between domestic ducks and wild waterfowl. The finding of this study is helpful for our understanding of the ecology and the evolutionary characteristics of H6 subtypes of AIV in birds.
