International audience. Avian influenza viruses of the H9N2 subtype continue to spread in wild birds and poultry worldwide. Infection with H9N2 avian influenza virus was detected for the first time in Morocco in January 2016. In this study, a total of 105 organ and tracheal swab samples from 21 broiler farms in Morocco were collected from July 2016 to October 2018 for H9N2 screening. The suspicion of disease was based on severe respiratory signs such as sneezing, coughing, rales and gasping, while H9N2 virus infection was confirmed by real-time RT-PCR. Hemagglutinin (HA) genes of four isolates were amplified by conventional RT-PCR, sequenced, and aligned for phylogenetic analyses. Among the 21 flocks, 48% (10/21) were qRT-PCR positive for H9, with the cycle threshold values ranging from18.6 to 34.8. The maximum similarity in nucleotide and protein sequences (96-98%) was observed between the Moroccan viruses and an H9 virus isolated from broiler chickens in 2017 in Burkina Faso (A/chicken/BurkinaFaso/17RS93-19/2017) and from a layer chicken in the United Arab Emirates in 2015 (A/chicken/Dubai/D2506/2015). The HA genes revealed the close relationship between the four Moroccan viruses, with 97.9%-99.9% nucleotide identity. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the Moroccan viruses belonged to the G1 lineage, and likely originated from the Middle East, as previously reported in 2016. . Virusi ptičje gripe H9N2 nastavljaju se širiti u peradi i divljih ptica širom svijeta. Infekcija niskopatogenim virusom influence H9N2 prvi je put otkrivena u Maroku u siječnju 2016. godine. U ovom je istraživanju za probir na H9N2 prikupljeno ukupno 105 organa i obrisaka iz dušnika s 21 farme brojlera od srpnja 2016. do listopada 2018. iz različitih regija Maroka. Sumnja na bolest temeljila se na teškim respiracijskim znakovima kao što su kihanje, kašljanje, hropanje i hripanje, a infekcija virusom H9N2 potvrđena je PCR-om obrnute transkripcije u stvarnom vremenu. Sekvencije gena za hemaglutinin (HA) od četiri izolata amplificirane su pomoću RT-PCR qRT-PCR poravnane za filogenetsku i analizu sličnosti aminokiselina. Od 21 uzorka jata 48 % (10/21) bilo je pozitivno na H9 s pragom broja ciklusa u rasponu od 18,6 do 34,8. Maksimalna sličnost u nukleotidnim i proteinskim sekvencijama (96 -98 %) uočena je između marokanskih virusa i virusa H9 izoliranih iz brojlerskih pilića u 2017. u Burkini Faso (A/piletina/BurkinaFaso/17RS93-19) i od kokošjeg pileta u Ujedinjenim Arapskim Emiratima u 2015. (A/piletina/Dubai/D2506/2015). HA geni otkrili su blisku vezu između četiriju virusa, s 97,9 % -99,9 % nukleotidnog identiteta. Filogenetska analiza pokazala je da marokanski virusi pripadaju lozi G1 i vjerojatno potječu s Bliskog istoka, kao što je objavljeno 2016. godine.
