A reassorted H5N1 that is a combination of clade 2.3.4.4b (dairy virus clade) and clade 2.3,2,1c (an older H5N1 clade) is infecting Cambodia. 4 people have been infected and all have died.-a The 5th person was
confirmed to be infected with H5N1, but the clade has not been
determined and she has been in the hospital since mid May.-a She did not have contact with poultry, so they do not know how she got infected.
This seems to be a highly pathogenic virus strain.-a We are lucky that a different reassorted virus infected the dairy herds in the US.
