Ducatez MF, Tarnagda Z, Tahita MC, Sow A, de Landt. Genetic Characterization of HPAI (H5N1) Viruses from Poultry and Wild Vultures, Burkina Faso. Emerg Infect Dis, 2007 April edition
Genetic analysis of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) viruses from poultry and hooded vultures in Burkina Faso shows that these viruses belong to 1 of 3 sublineages initially found in Nigeria and later in other African countries. Hooded vultures could potentially be vectors or sentinels of influenza subtype H5N1, as are cats and swans elsewhere.
