Resumen

The panzootic caused by H5N1 avian influenza viruses is a high concern for wild birds’ conservation and the study of spillover events into mammals. The near coding-complete genome of H5N1 clade 2.3.3.4b sequencing in the Miseq Illumina platform was performed from a bird located in Pantanos of Villa National Wildlife Refuge.
