Oligonucleotide analysis of 2 avian influenza A viruses (Hav6N2 and Hav6Nav4) isolated in nature showed identical or almost identical patterns for the corresponding M and HA genes: 24 of 25 and 13 of 13 large oligonucleotides were indistinguishable by 2-dimensional gel analysis. Remarkable differences in the oligonucleotide patterns of the remaining genes were observed. Only 2 of 11 oligonucleotide spots of the NS gene, 10 of 27 spots of the NA/NP genes and 22 of 49 spots of the P genes were indistinguishable between the 2 strains. This observation that at least 2 genes of these viruses are virtually identical while others show easily detectable differences indicates that the 2 avian strains are related to each other by a recombinational event. Animals in nature can be doubly infected with influenza viruses. Both lines of evidence strongly suggest that recombination is at least 1 mechanism by which new influenza virus strains emerge in nature.
