title: Full Genome Sequence of an Avian Influenza H5N1 Virus Isolated from the Environment in Hunan Province, China.
abstract: We isolated an avian influenza virus A/environment/Hunan/3/2011(H5N1) from a body of water in Hunan, China. The nucleotide sequence of the virus shares 95% homology with H5N1 from the east Asia region. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that its HA gene belongs to clade 2.3.2.1 and that other internal genes present different recombination features.
