TL;DR: The findings indicate that domestic ducks in southern China had a central role in the generation and maintenance of this virus, and that wild birds may have contributed to the increasingly wide spread of the virus in Asia.

TL;DR: Cases of disease caused by H5N1 and transmission of the virus among migratory geese populations in western China are described and this outbreak may help to spread the virus over and beyond the Himalayas.

TL;DR: It is reported that genetically and antigenically distinct sublineages of H5N1 virus have become established in poultry in different geographical regions of Southeast Asia, indicating the long-term endemicity of the virus, and the isolation of H3N2 virus from apparently healthy migratory birds in southern China.

TL;DR: This study genetically characterize 82 H5N1 viruses isolated from poultry throughout Indonesia and Vietnam and 11 human isolates from southern Vietnam together with sequence data available in public databases to address questions relevant to virus introduction, endemicity and evolution.

TL;DR: This study reveals a two-way transmission of influenza virus between terrestrial and aquatic birds that facilitates the generation of novel reassortant H9N2 influenza viruses, which may directly or indirectly play a role in the emergence of the next pandemic virus.
