Comparative testing of vaccines based on viruses of genetic lineages G1 and Y280 for their potency against low pathogenic avian influenza H9N2 by S. V. Frolov, L. O. Scherbakova, N. V. Moroz, V. N. Irza, V. Yu. Kulakov

“…The level of inhibition (reduction) of the virulent LPAI virus genome synthesis in vaccinated birds following their challenge with H9N2 virus of genetic lineage G1 was higher in birds following homologous vaccination, while the time periods of the genome detection in the biomaterial samples were the same. It was demonstrated that due to antigenic and immunogenic differences between LPAI H9N2 strains, use of both antigenic components in the inactivated vaccines is appropriate.…”
