TL;DR: The first human infection with a novel reassortant avian influenza A H10N8 virus is reported, which was isolated from a patient from Nanchang City, China and caused human infection and could have been associated with the death of a patient.

TL;DR: It seems that A(H10N8) viruses might have become established among poultry and their genetic diversity might be much higher than what the authors have observed.

TL;DR: The notion that LPMs can act as both a gene pool for the generation of novel reassortants and a source for human infection is supported, and intensive surveillance and management should therefore be conducted.

TL;DR: The results of a cross-sectional study of avian influenza viruses in live poultry markets in Nanchang, China, after the first human case of H10N8 virus infection was reported in the city found that the LPMs were heavily contaminated by AIVs, with H9, H10, and H5 being the predominant subtypes and more than half of the L PMs providing samples that were positive for the H10 subtype.

TL;DR: This study provides further evidence that the air in LPMs can be contaminated by influenza viruses and their nucleic acids, and this should be considered when choosing and evaluating disinfection strategies in L PMs, such as regular air disinfection.
