Several genetically and antigenically distinct H5N1 lineages co-circulate in Egypt Strains oT clade proper replicate mainly in backyard birds causing the bulk oT human inTections while a variant lineage within appears to be perpetuated mainly in commercial poultry Tarms in Egypt. Viruses oT the lineage represent driTt variants escaping Trom conventional vaccine-induced immunity and some oT these strains also escaped detection by commercial real time reverse transcriptase PCR RT-qPCR protocols due to mismatches in the primers probe binding sites. Results We developed therefore a versatile sensitive and lineage-speciTic multiplex RT-qPCR Tor detection and typing oTH5N1 viruses in Egypt. Analytical characterization was carried out using 50 Egyptian HPAIV H5N1 strains isolated since 2006 and 45 other avian inTluenza viruses AIV . A detection limit oT400 cRNA copies per ml sample matrix was Tound. Higher diagnostic sensitivity oT the multiplex assay in comparison to other generic H5 or M-gene based RT-qPCR assays were Tound by examination oT 63 swab samples Trom experimentally inTected chickens and 50 AIV-positive swab samples Trom diTTerent host .
