Surveillance allows us to identify and monitor potentially zoonotic strains. A tracheal swab taken from a pelican on a Peruvian beach tested positive for H5N1 (clade 2.3.4.4b) using the Oxford Nanopore's MinION platform. The near-complete genome sequence of strain VFAR-140 will provide insights into avian influenza epidemiology and spread.
Surveillance helps us identify and monitor strains with zoonotic potential. A tracheal swab from a pelican on a Peruvian beach was H5N1 positive (clade 2.3.4.4b) using Oxford Nanopore's MinION platform. The near-complete genome sequence of strain VFAR-140 will aid us in understanding avian influenza epidemiology and spread. Surveillance helps us identify and monitor strains with zoonotic potential.
