Massive Uva Lake outbreak EXACTLY 2 years ago

http://www.recombinomics.com/News/06270601/H5N1_Tuva.html

The emergencies ministry first reported June 23 that 169 dead wild birds had been collected from the Ubsu-Nur Lake in the Ovyursky district of the Tuva Republic, and the presence of H5N1 in their blood samples had been confirmed by the Kemerovo veterinary laboratory.

Tuesday's statement said wild bird deaths were continuing, with 371 new deaths reported by Sunday afternoon. A total 1,622 birds have died since the first were found on the lake June 15.

Actually, it looks like this report is on the outbreak 2 years ago since both reports mention 169 dead wild birds.
 
Re: Bird Flu Suspected at Lake Tuva, Siberia

Ubsu-Nur Lake is Russia or Mongolia ?
This is Uva Lake in Mongolia near Russian border with Tuva/Tyva (but is the 2006 outbreak) which spread to South Korea / Japan at the end of 2006 followed by Kuwait in early 2007 and all of Europe in the summer and fall of 2007.

This year birds in the area had H5 antibodies, but no reports yet of H5N1.
 
Re: Bird Flu Suspected at Lake Tuva, Siberia

but Russia does collect samples and publish them from the lake ?

Sequences from both sides of the border (Tyva/Tuva and Mongolia) have been published and as expected, all are the Uvs Lake version of clade 2.2.3.
