ABSTRACT We report the complete genome sequence of influenza virus H9N2 associated with a fatal outbreak among chickens in Dubai. All segments are clustered with avian H9N2 viruses circulating in the Middle Eastbut distinct from those in southeast Asia. It is not a reassortantvirus or transmitted from other regions.
