This new strain resulted from the recombination of genes between several parent viruses noted in poultry and wild birds in Asia. The H7 gene is most closely related to sequences found in samples from ducks in Zhejiang province in 2011.The N9 gene was closely related to isolated wild ducks in South Korea in 2011. Other genes resembled samples ...

Disease resistance is the host trait that prevents infection or reduces the number of pathogens and parasites within or on a host.

Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). [1] EID is a public domain [2] journal and covers global instances of new and reemerging infectious diseases, putting greater emphasis on disease emergence, prevention, control, and elimination.
