Abstract
A surveillance program for influenza A viruses (H5N1) was conducted in live bird and food markets in central Thailand during July 2006–August 2007. Twelve subtype H5N1 viruses were isolated. The subtype H5N1 viruses circulating in the markets were genetically related to those that circulated in Thailand during 2004–2005.
In Thailand, from 2004 through 2008, 6 major outbreaks of avian influenza occurred (January–March 2004, July–October 2004, October–December 2005, January–March 2006, November–March 2007, and January 2008). We report on a 14-month avian influenza surveillance program and its finding of influenza virus (H5N1) in live bird and food markets in Thailand.
