For influenza A viruses, modifications of N-linked glycosylation sites in the globular head of the hemagglutinin protein have been linked to changes in virulence, antigenicity, receptor-binding preference, fusion activity, and immune evasion (4).

The samples were analyzed on grounds of drinking water, feces, contaminated soil, and cloacal and tracheal swabs, where the chicken, pigeon and environmental sample isolates showed that six internal genes were derived from avian H9N2 viruses, but the ancestor of their hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes is unknown.
