Replication and adaptive mutations of low pathogenic avian influenza viruses in tracheal organ cultures of different avian species.

Transmission of avian influenza viruses (AIV) between different avian species may require genome mutations that allow efficient virus replication in a new species and could increase virulence. To study the role of domestic poultry in the evolution of AIV we compared replication of low pathogenic (LP...
