Here is our attempt to view the distribution of the Avian Flu (H5N1) virus from the point of view of wild birds migration flyways.
We have compiled the KML datasets from projects Birds
Avian flu H5N1 outbreaks in birds, and in humans by Declan1 http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/favlinker.php...amp;postmarker=

To union project also include map of a major migratory birds flyways. Zoom into the areas where the cases are reported. Most of them are surrounded with dump habitat, lakes, bogs, paddy fields. Look a the dates. Compare with typical dates of bird migration. Think.

Arguably, migratory birds are believed to be the natural reservoir of avian influenza viruses. The birds typically do not become ill when infected with the virus. Domestic poultry, on the other hand, are highly susceptible to epidemics of avian flu viruses. If you look at the chronology of the virus spread, presented in this union layer, you can spot, that there is an alternative conclusion, suggesting that the wild birds are victims of the virus which come from untreated water discharge or via other ways from poultry farms. So the big question is "whether the spread of avian flu is by the highway or the flyway". Now look at the map for the answer.
