We generated the full genome of a highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus that caused an outbreak on a chicken farm in Lebnaon in April 2016. Analysis revealed that the virus belonged to clade 2.3.2.1c that recently caused outbreaks in West Africa and the United Arab Emirates.

Migratory water birds are considered to be carriers of high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs). In Japan, mallards are often observed during winter, and HPAIV-infected mallards often shed viruses asymptomatically. In this study, we focused on mallards as potential carriers of HPAIVs and investigated whether individual wild mallards are repeatedly infected with HPAIVs and act as HPAIV carriers multiple times within a season.

Avian influenza is a significant threat to the poultry industry, and it has become an outbreak in many countries because of its mortality and morbidity. Concerns about the history of avian influenza outbreaks has prompted all countries to enhance their independence in pharmaceutical and biological components as a preparedness measure for any potential occurrences. The production of antibodies such as IgY is a potential alternative.
