[The URL above includes a map -- in Chinese -- titled "China avian
influenza: disease distribution map (number of human cases confirmed
by the Chinese Ministry of Health)".
Since the map, updated on 30 Mar 2007, is not available online in
English, we requested Dan Silver to translate the Chinese text.
His translated/edited reply, for which we are most grateful, follows. - Mod.AS]
The map's legend would best be translated as follows:
Red circle: location of human avian influenza occurrence
Brown-yellowish areas: area [where] avian influenza outbreak [was]
extinguished.
Below is the list of locales shown on the China CDC map. The map does
not show dates of cases. I looked these up online individually (date
of onset).
The list starts from the upper right of the map and proceeds clockwise.
1. 1 case, Heishan County, Liaoning Province, 30 Oct 2005.
2. 1 case (died), Wuhan Municipality, Hubei Prov., 1 Apr 2006.
3. 1 case, Yingshang County, Anhui Prov., 11 Feb 2006.
4*. 1 case (died), Bengbu City, Anhui Prov., 17 Mar 2007.
5. 1 case (died), Anqing City, Anhui Prov., 1 Nov 2005.

[The list of cases above falls in line with the information included
in ProMED-mail's thread on human avian influenza incidence in China;
the most recent case dated 30 Mar 2007 (20070331.1103) is not yet
included.
In broad general terms, correlation can be observed between the
incidence of human and animal cases, on a geographical/provincial
level. Some of the cases (marked with an asterisk in the list above),
demonstrate deficient correlation:
4*. Human case -- March 2007; last reported animal outbreak -- November 2005.
6*. No report on animal disease.
7*. Human case -- February 2006; last reported animal outbreak -- January 2004.
8*. Human case -- December 2006; last reported animal outbreak --
November 2005.
10*. Human case -- February 2007. No official report on animal
outbreaks (there was anecdotal media information in March 2007).
11*. Human case -- December 2005; animal outbreaks -- see 10*.
13*. Human case -- January 2006; animal outbreaks -- see 10*.
15*. Human case -- June 2006; last reported animal outbreak -- February 2004.
16*. Human case -- February 2006; animal outbreaks -- see 15*.
17*. Human case -- Nov 2005; last reported animal outbreak -- February 2004.
Since the start of the epizootic, 89 outbreaks in domestic birds have
been officially reported to the OIE by the Chinese authorities. They
were located in the following 22 out of China's 31 principal
administrative units (excluding Hong Kong and Macao Special
Administrative Regions):
Anhui, Gansu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Inner
Mongolia, Jiangxi, Jilin, Liaoning, Ningxia, Qinghai, Shaanxi,
Shanghai, Sichuan, Tianjin, Tibet, Xinjiang, Yunnan, and Zhejiang.
(see administrative map of China at
<http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/20...ent_815536.htm>)
In addition, the H5N1 HPAI (highly pathogenic avian influenza) virus
was identified in sick and dead wild birds in multiple locations,
including massive outbreaks in 2005 (Qinghai lake) and in 2006
(Qinghai and Tibet), affecting various species, particularly
bar-headed geese. A recent updated list of wild-bird cases,
identified in dead birds collected in April-May 2006 in Tibet,
Qinghai, and Liaoning, has been included in China's follow-up report
No. 5 to the OIE (World Animal Health Organization), submitted on 6
Mar 2007. The report is available at
<http://www.oie.int/wahid-prod/report...306_172454.pdf>.
The Chinese animal-disease reporting system has been demonstrating
improvements in its quality and transparency throughout the reviewed
period; this positive trend, reflected also by the publication of the
updated epidemiological map, deserves recognition and encouragement.
