Sažetak
In order to determine the actual prevalence of avian influenza viruses (AIV) in wild birds in Bosnia and Herzegovina, extensive surveillance was carried out between October 2005 and April 2006. A total of 394 samples representing 22 bird species were examined for the presence of influenza A by virus isolation through chicken embrionated eggs, PCR and sequencing. AIV subtype H5N1 was detected in 4 Mute swans (Cygnus olor). The viruses were determined as HPAI (highly pathogenic avian influenza) and the hemagglutinin sequence was closely similar to A/Cygnus olor/Astrakhan/Ast05-2-10/2005 (H5N1). This is the first report of highly pathogenic avian influenza subtype H5N1 in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
