Genomic characterization of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b into wild seabirds from coastal Ecuador
Highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b has spread widely across South America, but its genomic diversity and patterns of introduction into Ecuador remain poorly characterized. In this study, we report and characterize four genomes of A(H5N1) viruses detected in four individuals of two Ecu...
