Characterization of low pathogenic avian influenza viruses subtype H5 isolated in Singapore and RNA interference as an antiviral strategy.

Low pathogenic avian influenza viruses (LPAIVs) have the potential to mutate into high pathogenic viruses, and transmission from avian to human host has been documented. We have characterized LPAIVs H5 subtype isolated in Singapore. Molecular sequence analyses revealed that the LPAIVs contained main...
