我们从赞比亚的一只大白色派力肯中分离出一种流感病毒。系统发育分析表明，其所有基因片段都属于欧亚血统，并且它们似乎在欧洲，亚洲和非洲的不同地理区域进化，这表明野生水禽中的病毒基因发生了重配，这些鸟类的飞行路线在这些大陆上重叠。值得注意的是，该病毒可能具有与欧亚大陆分离的高致病性H7和H5病毒相同来源的某些基因。本研究强调需要继续监测欧亚大陆和非洲的禽流感病毒。
We characterized an influenza virus isolated from a great white pelican in Zambia. Phylogenetic analysis showed that all of its gene segments belonged to the Eurasian lineage and that they appear to have evolved in distinct geographical regions in Europe, Asia, and Africa, suggesting reassortment of virus genes maintained in wild aquatic birds whose flyways overlap across these continents. It is notable that this virus might possess some genes of the same origin as those of highly pathogenic H7 and H5 viruses isolated in Eurasia. The present study underscores the need for continued monitoring of avian influenza viruses in Eurasia and Africa.
