1. Introduction In 1996, an outbreak of the high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) subtype H5, A/goose/Guangdong/1/1996 (Gs/Gd), was reported in China [1]. Since then, the Gs/Gd H5Nx HPAI lineage has been a threat to the poultry industry worldwide [2]. These progeny viruses have evolved rapidly and are composed of 10 divergent hemagglutinin (HA) clades (0–9) and several subclades [3]. The clade 2.3.4.4 of HPAI viruses emerged in China in 2014 and began to dominate global outbreaks.
