Abstract
Since December 2014, agricultural authorities in Canada and United States of America have detected outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI)1 in wild and domestic birds due to new reassortants of H5 influenza viruses, with the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE, per the French acronym) being notified accordingly. These are the first outbreaks due to HPAI H5 influenza reassortants of Eurasian origin registered in North America.
