The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been monitoring the <\/span>ongoing outbreak of the avian influenza A (H5N1) virus<\/span><\/a>. This is widespread globally in wild birds, and has led to sporadic outbreaks in poultry, cows, several species of wild animals, and has been detected in exposed humans. The <\/span>CDC recently sequenced<\/span><\/a> the H5N1 virus in two respiratory specimens collected from a <\/span>U.S. <\/span>patient <\/span>who was severely ill and has now died (<\/span>PQ809549-PQ809564)<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
