At about same time as the H5N8 virus ap- peared in Europe an H5N6 subtype virus also within the Goose/Guangdong/96-lineage caused a massive outbreak of disease in layer chickens and ducks in the Republic of Korea.

Movement of both viruses has been associ- ated with infection in wild birds and their role in the long distance transmission of these viruses during the autumn migration is now irrefutable.. Background I n September 2016 FAO released an EMPRES Watch warning of the likely west- ward and southerly spread of H5N8 Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus during the northern hemisphere autumn and winter of 2016 2017.
