Abstract
This brief article provides updates on continuing research related to avian influenza H5N1, which still poses a pandemic threat according to the World Health Organization. Countries are refining responses to outbreaks and have met to partner on research findings, such as were presented at this conference in Kunming China, from scientists representing Cambodia, China, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam. While research continues, the most effective way to reduce the amount of virus in circulation is to control outbreaks in poultry.
