This method utilizes predetermined primer sets to amplify specific viral gene segments, enabling precise detection and subtyping of influenza strains that may contaminate food products through infected animals or cross-contamination during processing.ENAfalseInfluenza ATargeted Sequencing for Detection of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Food Products2025-09-242025-09-08PRJNA1308611
