Evolution of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus in Poultry, Togo, 2018
Abstract
In 2015, highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses reemerged in poultry in West Africa. We describe the introduction of a reassortant clade 2.3.2.1c virus into Togo in April 2018. Our findings signal further local spread and evolution of these viruses, which could affect animal and human health.Keywords
