...8 isolates from duck and goose were subjected to full genome sequencing and genetic analysis. Although both of H5N8 viruses were closely related to clade 2.3.4.4b, they were genetically distinct and had genetically different constellation forms. This study highlights the need of active surveillance of AIVs in backyard production sector for assessing the epidemiology, evolution, and diversity of currently circulating viruses in Egypt.

After the micro-anatomical features of the German goose tongue were determined, SEM (FEI-Quanta; FEG 250, USA) analyzes were made and their general structures were photographed. Then, silicone plastination processes were applied at room temperature. The SEM images of the fresh material and the plastinated material were compared by taking the SEM images again. As a result, it was deter...
