Abstract
Avian Influenza Virus (H5N1) Mortality Surveillance
Highlights
To better understand how avian mortality surveillance could be refined for monitoring the spread of influenza virus (H5N1), we analyzed the weekly official reports of such detections in Sweden and Denmark in 2006 [8]
Surveillance results from Sweden and Denmark highlight the importance of public participation in avian mortality surveillance for influenza virus (H5N1); the preponderance of detections from singleton carcasses; and

Summary
Tors for avian influenza virus activity in Sweden and Denmark in 2006. Influenza virus (H5N1) is amplified by commercial and backyard poultry and free-ranging birds. Since spreading to Sweden and Denmark in early 2006, the virus has been detected there in dead birds of numerous species (Table).
