CDC said that partial viral genome data from the infected patient shows that the virus belongs to the D1.1 genotype, recently detected in wild birds and poultry in the United States and in recent ...
(Reuters) - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Thursday its analysis of samples from the first severe case of bird flu in the country last week showed mutations not seen ...
It accounted for 27% of genetic sequences submitted to a global virus database called GISAID in the week that ended Dec. 3, up from 10% in the week that ended Nov. 19.
The main virus involved in the global outbreak is classified as H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b, however genetic diversification with other clades such as 2.3.2.1c has seen the virus evolve in ability to cause significant outbreaks in a broader range of species including mammals. [7] [8] [9]
In early and mid-January, the virus spread to other Chinese provinces, helped by the Chinese New Year migration. Wuhan was a transport hub and major rail interchange. [205] On 10 January, the virus' genome was shared publicly. [206] A retrospective study published in March found that 6,174 people had reported symptoms by 20 January. [207]
Testing of patient swab samples by polymerase chain reaction revealed clade II of monkeypox virus, [1] which is the less deadly of the two known monkeypox virus variants with a case fatality rate of around 1%. [68] The genomic sequence of the virus associated with this outbreak was first published on 19 May by Portuguese researchers. [69]
