Lau, K., Kirkland, P., Byers, D., Pitman, C., Thei. The detection of avian influenza virus in human pathology laboratories in Australia, New Zealand, and South Pacific nations. Medical Journal of Australia
Australia has been relatively free from highly pathogenic avian influenza A (HPAI) virus outbreaks. HPAI viruses are primarily transmitted by wild birds, but avian influenza viruses have recently entered mammalian hosts, including cats and dairy cattle. Reports of avian H5N1 influenza virus infections in humans have also increased.
