Caption

Figure. Biological characteristics of the novel reassortant H10N3 viruses isolated from chicken in eastern China. 1) The novel reassortant H10N3 isolates bound to both avian-type (SAα-2,3-Gal) and human-type (SAα-2,6-Gal) receptors; 2) The novel reassortant H10N3 AIVs were highly pathogenic in mice; 3) The novel reassortant H10N3 isolates were transmissible among guinea pigs via direct contact and respiratory droplets.
