[The Indian subcontinent has experienced HPAI outbreaks due to H5N1 virus infection in domestic poultry and other birds almost every year since the 1st report in 2006. Since November 2016, subtype H5N8 has also been reported in India, Pakistan, and Nepal. - Mod.PMB
On 15 March 2019, the Government of Nepal declared the occurrence of 3 earlier outbreaks of H5N1 in 3 districts of the country, namely in
Hetauda Sub Metropolitan area, in Makwanpur district, in Central region; Tarekeshower Municipality, Kathmandu district, Central region; and in Madi Rurral municipality, Kaski Pokhara district, Western region. Additional outbreaks were suspected in Makwanpur and Kathmandu districts. These were the first H5N1 HPAI events reported in 2019.
Last earlier detections of HPAI H5N1 in Nepal were reported in May-June 2018 in the Central region, in Bagmati and Narayani areas.
H5N1 HPAI events have been reported from India (in wild crows, mainly, and in poultry) in 2019, while in Indonesia and Viet Nam last events were reported in December 2018. - Mod.AS
