A Global Perspective on H9N2 Avian Influenza Virus

A Global Perspective on H9N2 Avian Influenza Virus

H9N2 avian influenza viruses have become globally widespread in poultry over the last two decades and represent a genuine threat both to the global poultry industry but also humans through their high rates of zoonotic infection and pandemic potential. H9N2 viruses are generally hyperendemic in affec...
