Synopsis (short abstract) Outbreaks of H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in poultry were reported in Thailand and Viet Nam, and human cases were reported in Viet Nam during the preceding month. Having lunar New Year day on 9 February, movement of poultry and poultry products will increase in the region. The need for biosecurity of domestic poultry to prevent infection and enhanced early warning in order to detect every additional case are highest during this season to avoid new cases of HPAI in poultry and to minimise the risk to humans.

    Outbreak of H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in poultry has been suspected in Indonesia during the preceeding month. The recent outbreak in Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) appeared to be caused by H7. Although the number of outbreaks appeared to be falling like last year, the need for vigilance to find potentially new cases and their rapid isolation remains a high priority. Biosecurity in domestic poultry production systems must be checked again during this period

    Outbreaks of H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in poultry were reported in Thailand, Viet Nam and Cambodia, and the first human case was reported in Cambodia during the preceding month. Before Lunar New Year day on 9 February, movement of poultry and poultry products was increased in the region. As a result, H5N1 virus might have spread in domestic poultry. The need for vigilance to find new cases and rapid isolation of infected or suspected flocks from susceptible poultry and humans are high priorities. Biosecurity of domestic poultry to prevent introduction of H5N1 virus is even more important during this period to avoid spread.

    Outbreaks of H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in wild birds and geese were reported in China and presence of the virus in pigs has been reported in Indonesia during the preceeding month. Overall numbers of outbreaks have decreased, a pattern similar to that observed last year. This is an opportunity for all the affected and at risk countries to review contingency plans and be prepared for possible outbreaks that might occur in the forhcoming cooler months.
