Contact with wild migratory birds present in the area is presumed to be the likely source of infection. Virological analysis has identified the presence of the H5 subtype of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI). The determination of the neuraminidase subtype is pending in order to complete the characterisation of the pathogenic agent. Further information is provided in the epidemiological comments of the outbreak.
