Synopsis (short abstract) A few outbreaks of H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) were reported in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Viet Nam during the preceding month. One year has passed since the first HPAI case was officially reported by the Republic of Korea to OIE on 12 December 2003. It is important to pay attention to the biosecurity of domestic poultry to prevent infection, and maintain vigilance and enhance early warning in order to detect every additional case, to ensure effective control of outbreak s and to minimise the risk to humans.
