Article Synopsis
- This study is the first to report the isolation of the H9N2 avian influenza virus from commercial bobwhite quail in Egypt, with no visible signs of illness in the infected birds.
- The virus was confirmed through virus isolation and real-time PCR from cloacal swabs, and no other AIV subtypes like H5 and H7 were found.
- Genetic analysis showed that the isolated H9N2 virus closely matches strains circulating in the Middle East, suggesting potential connections with neighboring countries' virus lineages.
