Implication

Italian H5N2 strains show no direct link to Hong Kong H5N1; leaves open independent regional emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza.

Population

H5N2 and H5N9 avian influenza viruses isolated from poultry in northern Italy between October 1997 and January 1998

Intervention

Antigenic and phylogenetic analysis (HA, NS, and NP genes)

Outcome

Genetic and antigenic relationship to other influenza strains (e.g., A/HK/156/97)

Italian H5N2 avian influenza isolates from 1997-1998 were antigenically similar to but phylogenetically distinct from the H5N1 viruses circulating in Hong Kong, with no evidence of bird-to-human transmission.
