Definition
English
:
A subtype of
INFLUENZA A VIRUS
that is highly virulent in
poultry
and wild birds, but shows varying degrees of
pathogenicity
in mice. The H5N8 virus subtype has a polybasic amino acid motif at the HA cleavage site which explains its
pathogenicity
in birds, and expresses surface
proteins
HEMAGGLUTININ 5 and
NEURAMINIDASE
8 which are typical of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza
viruses.
