title: Molecular and genetic analysis of NS gene from high pathogenic strains of the avian influenza (H5N1) virus isolated in Kazakhstan.
abstract: The high pathogenic strains of the avian influenza H5N1 virus isolated in Kazakhstan have NS of different genotypes. The influenza virus strains isolated in 2005 is of NS1E Qinghai genotype. A/swan/Mangystau/3/2006 strain is of NS2A genotype that is typical for Gs/Gd-like strains. The results of the analysis allow assuming that A/swan/Mangystau/3/2006 strain has been brought onto the territory of Kazakhstan from the European part of the continent along the Black Sea-Mediterranean flyway.
