Abstract

This Article contains errors. The authors reports that samples were collected from allantoic fluid; they were collected from fecal samples. The authors also reported incorrect biosafety level for the facilities where the experiments were performed. In Materials and Methods, 'Sample sites and sample collection' , "After HA activity testing, viral RNA was extracted from the HA-positive allantoic fluid using QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany). Approval for this study was obtained from the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Chungcheongbuk-do Veterinary Service Laboratory (#2019-2) and all experimental procedures from virus isolation to sequencing library preparation were conducted in approved biosafety level 3 (BSL3) facilities (KCDC-12-3-04) at Chungbuk Veterinary Service Laboratory.
