Summary: H5N6 has replaced H5N1 as a dominant avian influenza virus subtype in southern China, posing a serious threat to the poultry industry and human health due to its increasing genetic diversity and geographical distribution. This study reported 2 cases of H5N6 in Guangxi, China from February to July 2021, and identified mutations in various genes through phylogenetic analysis. As a multi-source reassortant virus, H5N6 highly pathogenic AIV is continuously evolving, emphasizing the need to strengthen surveillance of drug resistant strains and novel variants.
