Genetic and biological characterization of H9N2 avian influenza viruses isolated in China from 2011 to 2014.

The genotypes of the H9N2 avian influenza viruses have changed since 2013 when almost all H9N2 viruses circulating in chickens in China were genotype 57 (G57) with the fittest lineage of each gene.
