TL;DR: It is shown that H7 viruses probably transferred from domestic duck to chicken populations in China on at least two independent occasions and subsequently reassorted with enzootic H9N2 viruses to generate the H7N9 outbreak lineage, and a related previously unrecognized H7n7 lineage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Establishment and Lineage Replacement of H6 Influenza Viruses in Domestic Ducks in Southern China
Kai Huang,Hongbo Zhu,Hongbo Zhu,Xiaohui Fan,Jia Wang,Jia Wang,CL Cheung,Lian Duan,Lian Duan,Wenshan Hong,Yongmei Liu,Lifeng Li,David K. Smith,David K. Smith,Honglin Chen,Honglin Chen,Robert G. Webster,Richard J. Webby,Malik Peiris,Yi Guan,Yi Guan +20 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that domestic ducks can facilitate significant genetic and antigenic changes in viruses established in this host and highlight gaps in the knowledge of influenza virus ecology and even the evolutionary behavior of this virus family in its aquatic avian reservoirs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence and evolution of H10 subtype influenza viruses in poultry in China.
Chi Ma,Tommy Tsan-Yuk Lam,Yujuan Chai,Jia Wang,Xiaohui Fan,Wenshan Hong,Yu Zhang,Yu Zhang,Lifeng Li,Lifeng Li,Yongmei Liu,David K. Smith,Richard J. Webby,Joseph S. M. Peiris,Hongbo Zhu,Hongbo Zhu,Yi Guan,Yi Guan +17 more
TL;DR: The emergence of the H10N8 virus, following a pathway similar to that of the recent H7N9 virus, highlights the role of domestic ducks and the current influenza ecosystem in China that facilitates influenza viruses moving from their reservoir hosts through the live-poultry system to cause severe consequences for public health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying within-host diversity of H5N1 influenza viruses in humans and poultry in Cambodia.
Louise H. Moncla,Trevor Bedford,Trevor Bedford,Philippe Dussart,Srey Viseth Horm,Sareth Rith,Philippe Buchy,Erik A. Karlsson,Lifeng Li,Lifeng Li,Yongmei Liu,Yongmei Liu,Hongbo Zhu,Hongbo Zhu,Yi Guan,Yi Guan,Thomas C. Friedrich,Paul F. Horwood,Paul F. Horwood +18 more
TL;DR: A detailed view of H5N1 virus adaptive potential is revealed, using evolutionary methods to sequence data, and a foundation for studying host-adaptation in other zoonotic viruses is developed.
