The outbreaks described in the OIE report have been associated with multiple culls. There have already been four in the Dhaka area, supporting rumors of spreading H5N1 in Bangladesh. These culling have been in the past few days and are geographically dispersed, so additional culls are likely.
Similarly, dead crows have been reported in the Malda area as well as additional areas of West Bengal, so additional spread is likely, including outbreaks in northern Bangladesh.
Moreover, in addition to widespread outbreaks in Assam, reports of excessive poultry deaths in multiple areas in West Bengal, as well as Delhi, raise concerns that H5N1 may soon spread throughout India (see expanded map).
