Some of the character- ised HPAI A(H5N1) vi- ruses detected in Sweden, Germany, Poland and the UK are related to the vi- ruses that have been cir- culating in Europe since October 2020 – in North, Central, South and East Europe novel reassortant A(H5N1) virus was intro- duced, starting October
Since the last report, 13 human infections due to HPAI A(H5N6) and two human cases due to LPAI A(H9N2) virus have been reported from China.
