Two genetically identical highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) of subtype H5N8 clade 2.3.4.4b were isolated from falcated duck (Anas falcata) feces and environmental water collected at an overwintering site in Japan. These isolates showed high genetic similarity with H5N8 HPAIVs recently isolated in South Korea, a distant part of Japan, and European countries, suggesting the potential role of falcated ducks in the dissemination of HPAIVs.
We isolated two highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) of subtype H5N8 clade 2.3.4.4b from falcated duck (Anas falcata) feces and environmental water collected at an overwintering site in Japan. Our isolates were almost genetically identical to each other and showed high genetic similarity with H5N8 HPAIVs recently isolated in South Korea, a distant part of Japan, and European countries. These results suggest the potential role of falcated ducks in the dissemination of HPAIVs.
