Here is a direct link to the H5N1 sequence for the teal in Washington http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/KP739421

The sequence of the H5N1 in the teal in Washington was made public today. It has the same Fujian H5 as was initially reported for am H5N8 crane in Japan. The H5 is clade 2.3.4.4, which has caused fatal human cases as H5N1 and H5N6. The USDA says it is not a human threat "at this time" because...

Fujian H5 can infect most avian species. The main difference is the response. In Taiwan there is a major outbreak in part because the domestic ducks were not symptomatic, but had a dramatic drop in egg production. The owners did not think the egg drop was due to Fujian H5 so they...

Fujian H5 (as H5N8 or H5N2) is a serious killer of domestic poultry (IVPI is 2.96 - 3.0) and will be increasingly common. It is a game changer.

Thank you. I will adjust the map.

Yes, that matches the latest info I have. Is the location of the index farm close to the marker on this map? https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zv94AJqgUct4.kB0Jt6F7NlIM&hl=en I am pretty certain that the second farm is accurately marked. Do the two confirmed farms have posted notices?

FYI, The latest I have is that the third farm is close to the index, but no birds were symptomatic and testing was negative, so my understanding is that there are only the two confirmed farms, designated on the map.

On a related note, I have been maintaining a map on H5N2 cases. I have a marker for the index farm based on the exclusion zones. Can you check and see how close I am to this farm? For the second farm, the marker is on the farm in the media reports. It is close to the Richland airport and the...

I am not sure about the rules of getting new birds while in the quarantine area (I suspect you can still get new birds as long as they are not from within the quarantine area. FYI the OIE report on Benton has just come out. They list 178 birds for the index farm. However, they cite TWO...

High-path AI: Swollen combs or wattles Bluish comb, wattle or legs Nasal and eye discharge Blood-tinged nasal or eye discharge Tilting head Lack of coordination Depressed/ruffled feathers *Sudden death High death rate *Note: When poultry are infected with highpath AI, they may die before...

H5N2 in two farms near Benton City, Washington - 150 mostly turkeys on one farm, 500 ducks on other farm http://www.recombinomics.com/News/01061502/H5N2_Fujian_Benton.html

High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza Viruses Even in the absence of secondary pathogens, HP AI viruses cause severe, systemic disease with high mortality in chickens, turkeys, and other gallinaceous poultry; mortality can be as high as 100% in a few days. In peracute cases, clinical signs or...

Confirmation of H5N8 in Butte County, Calkifornia fills Pacific Flyway with confirmed H5 in all three US states (Washington, Oregon, California) as well as British Columbia http://www.recombinomics.com/News/01061501/H5N8_Fujian_Flyway.html

H5N8 confirmed in Butte County, California - fills Pacific Flyway http://www.recombinomics.com/News/01061501/H5N8_Fujian_Flyway.html

Although reporting and culling of H5 and H7 has been mandatory for several years. the Fujian H5 is a game changer for North America because even if H5 is removed from the ground, it is still flying around in wild birds and needs no further genetic change to cause devastating outbreaks (and has...

I think that a few posters are out of touch with reality with regard to Fujian H5 circulating in North America. The H5N2 version has affected 12 farms in British Columbia, as well as a northern pintail at Wiser Lake in Washington (7 miles south of BC). The H5N8 version infected a healthy...

Yes, after Winston in southern Oregon http://www.recombinomics.com/News/12191402/H5N8_Fujian_Oregon.html California was likely, but I was looking for specifics on Butte Co, California since I has predicted a commercial farm by the end of 2014 (but reported in 2015).
