Complete Genome Sequence of a Natural Recombinant H9N2 Influenza Virus from Wild Birds in Republic of Korea.

ABSTRACT: We report the complete genome sequence of a natural recombinant H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV) that was isolated from a wild bird in the Republic of Korea in 2005. The genomic sequence and phylogenetic analyses showed that this virus contains six genes of North American lineage AIV and two genes of Eurasian lineage AIV. These data are beneficial for investigating the ecology and epidemiology of AIVs.
