Abstract
According to a communiqué dated 21 December 2007 from the Secretary of Public Health and Social Assistance (Secretaría de Salud Pública y Asistencia Social / SESPAS) of the Domininican Republic to the World Organization of Animal Health (OIE) and to the PAHO/WHO Office in that country, the Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza (LPAI) virus H5N2 has been detected in poultry in Santo Domingo (the capital city) and in La Otra Banda (in the province of La Altagracia). This virus is different from the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus responsible for the highly fatal outbreaks in birds and associated human cases.
