[The Bird Flu Report] The above comments are from the paper “Isolation and characterization of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus subtype H5N1 from donkeys” and raise concerns that H5N1 may be silently spreading in mammals in Egypt. The HA and NA sequences from A/equine/Egypt/av1/2009 have been placed on deposit at Genbank and the HA sequence has the 3 BP deletion previously reported in mild cases in Egypt.
