Abstract
We reported for the first time the isolation of H9N2 influenza virus from dogs in southern China. Genetic analysis of an isolate revealed that it was a novel genotype closely related to avian H9N2 virus. Epidemiologic studies demonstrated that the new H9N2-subtype virus was the causative agent of a disease in canine. Therefore, an appropriate countermeasure is urgently needed.
