Taiwan yesterday reported another nine outbreaks of highly pathogenic H5N8 and H5N2 avian influenza, forcing the destruction of more than 80,000 poultry.
In addition, US authorities said the H5N2 virus that cropped up on turkey farms in Missouri and Arkansas this week is a close match for the virus that struck in Minnesota last week and was found in a wild bird in Washington state in December.
Also, in a stroke of apparent catch-up reporting, South Korea today described 47 H5N8 outbreaks that all occurred last year, forcing the destruction of more than half a million poultry. Earlier this month South Korean authorities reported 65 H5N8 outbreaks that dated from September 2014 to January of this year.
