摘要: In 2016, the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N8 virus was detected in wild birds for first time Egypt. present study, we identified HPAI of clade 2.3.4.4 from domestic waterfowl Egypt, suggesting its transmission to poultry migratory birds. Based on partial haemagglutinin gene sequence, this has a close genetic relationship with subtype viruses circulating Asia and Europe. Pathologically, hybrid duck induced nervous signs accompanied by encephalomalacia, haemorrhages, nonsuppurative encephalitis vasculitis. The granular layer cerebellum showed multifocal areas hydropic degeneration Purkinje cell neurons were necrotized or lost. Additionally, lung, kidney spleen congested, necrotizing pancreatitis also observed. co-circulation both H5N1 subtypes low H9N2 complicate control Egypt possibility emergence new reassortant viruses. Therefore, continuous monitoring implementation strict measures is required. Research highlights ducks geese 2017. Phylogenetically, closely related Europe Nonsuppurative widely observed virus-infected ducks. Degeneration cerebellar found most brain tissues examined.
