In mid-August 2013, two H9N2 influenza viruses, named A/mink/Shandong/F6/2013 (Mk/SD/F6/13) and A/mink/Shandong/F10/2013 (Mk/SD/F10/13), were isolated from lung samples of 2 of 45 farmed mink exhibiting respiratory signs in mideastern Shandong province, China. The seroprevalence of antibodies to H9N2 in mink was 20% (53/265). Based on sequence analysis, the eight nucleotide sequences showed 99.

- - The H5N2 influenza virus, isolated from a symptomatic dog in China in 2009, has been confirmed to transmit between dogs but its transmission to other species was unclear.
- - Contact exposure experiments were conducted with susceptible cats and chickens housed near infected dogs, revealing that one cat showed clear infection and others had seroconversion, while eight chickens displayed signs of illness and two died.
- - The results suggest that close contact with H5N2-infected dogs can lead to the virus spreading to both cats and chickens, indicating possible interspecies transmission.
In 2009, an influenza virus (IV), A/canine/Shandong/JT01/2009 (CA/SD/JT01/09), was isolated from the dog exhibiting respiratory signs in China, and was a novel H5N2. Intraspecies transmission of the virus in dog population had thus far remained unclear. To determine whether the novel H5N2 was transmitted among dogs, we conducted contact exposure and inoculation experiments.

- A/canine/Shandong/JT01/2009 is a new strain of influenza virus isolated from a dog in China showing typical flu symptoms.
- The virus was identified as a H5N2-like subtype through specific laboratory tests.
- Genetic analysis shows that this novel virus has emerged from a mix of viral segments from various hosts and locations, indicating complex reassortment.
