In the course of the confirmatory test, the isolated virus was confirmed as H5 avian influenza virus on 24 December and finally confirmed as low pathogenic avian influenza virus (H5N2) by gene sequencing.

The nine LPAIVs isolated from wild birds in Mongolia showed a great deal of genetic variation in all 8 gene segments and although there was some grouping of genes from viruses isolated in the same year, there was also evidence of reassortment and it appeared that lineages were not maintained from year to year indicating that the virus is being re-introduced with some over-lap of infection.

Specifically, the PB2 nucleotide sequence was 96% similar to A/mallard/South Dakota/Sg-00128/2007 (H3N2), A/mallard/South Dakota/Sg-00127/2007(H3N2), A/mallard/South Dakota/Sg-00125/2007(H3N2) and A/northern pintail/South Dakota/Sg-00126/2007(H3N2).

[Gary Rumor's Anti-Entropic Continuum] Gary Rumor's Anti-Entropic Continuum » Blog Archive » Influenza ...: As well as persisting in pigs, the descendants of the 1918 virus have also circulated in humans through the 20th century, contributing to the normal seasonal epidemics of influenza.[ However, direct transmission from pigs to humans is rare, with only 12 cases in the U.S. since 2005. Nevertheless, the retention of influenza strains in pigs after these strains have disappeared from the human population might make pigs a reservoir where influenza viruses could persist, later emerging to reinfect humans once human immunity to these strains has waned.
