Role of migratory birds potentially spreading H5N1

I would like to provide some information on the role of migratory birds potentially spreading H5N1 HPAI.  We must also note that the recent Tula (Russia) case already started on July 18 (well before the migratory season!) according to the official OIE report:

"Are Wild Birds to Blame?"

This news in Science magazine adequately summarizes the most up-to-date facts and discussions in the role of migratory birds potentially spreading the current H5N1 HPAI.  If you can access to the online journal, make a visit at
