To date, more than fourteen AIV subtypes that are able to infect human beings have been documented. Also, it is suggested that new subtypes may be reported in the future, owing to the migration of wild birds and live poultry transportation （Gao, 2018）.Poultry may act as a potential incubator for novel subtypes of avian influenza virus （Bi et al., 2016a; Bi et al., 2016b; Liu et al., 2014a; Su et al., 2017）.

[Method] The entire genome of DK/SH/Y20/06 was amplified and subjected to genome sequencing. The molecular software was used for sequence analysis and phylogenetic tree construction of DK/ SH/Y20/06 with some other reference sequences in GenBank. [Result] The results indicated that the amino acid sequence adjacent to HA cleav- age site was PEKASR ↓ GLF, which was the typical characteristics of the LPAIV. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that the HA gene of the isolate was derived from the Eurasian lineage in the eastern hemisphere. The NA gene was at the same branch with A/rnallard/Yan chen/2005（ H4N6）, sharing 98.3% sequence identity. The PB2, PB1, NP and PA gene of this isolate had genetically close relationships with H6 subtype AIV which is epidemic in China at present. The M gene fell into the same branch with A/environment/Korea/CSM05/2004（ H3N1 ）. The NS segment had the highest similarity with A/wild duck/Korea/YS44/2004（H1N2）. The eight genes were not at the same branch and shared a low similarity with other H4N6 subtype avian influenza viruses isolated in North America. [Condusion] These data showed that DK/SH/Y20/06（H4N6） was possibly a re- combinant virus derived from H4N6 subtype, H6N2, H6N5, H3N1 and H1 N2 subtype AIV by complex gene recombination in duck.展开更多
