H5N1 Avian Influenza in Vietnam
Overview
H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza spread into Vietnam in 2003. Cloachal swabs were gathered from infected poultry between 2003 and 2007 and the viruses from infected birds were sequenced. Sequence data were combined with spatial data to explore the evolutionary relationships between viruses over space and time as well as the environmental correlates of increased evolution and the presence of barriers to gene flow.
