Novel Reassortant Avian Influenza A(H3N8) Virus Isolated from a Wild Bird in Jiangxi, China.

ABSTRACT: Here, we report the detection of a reassortant avian influenza A(H3N8) virus isolated from a wild bird in Poyang Lake, Jiangxi, China, in 2014. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that this virus is most likely derived from the Eurasian-origin H3Ny and HxN8 viruses and two strains endemic to China, namely, H5N1 and H5N6.
