The Illustrations show genetic analyses of cases or outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) of subtype H5 in wild birds and poultry in Germany based on current data. Genetic sequence information is evaluated and merged with data from the German and Global Animal Disease Notification System and the Institute of Diagnostic Virology (IVD) of the FLI. It should be noted that the cases/outbreaks presented here represent only a selection of the total number of cases, namely the sequenced cases. 
Within the HPAI subtype H5, different genotypes are distinguished on the basis of sequence comparisons and are colour coded accordingly. 
Chart A shows the individual cases and their geographical distribution in the years indicated.
Chart B shows the number of genotypes sequenced and their relative distribution over the year.
Chart C shows the distribution of sequences of the different HPAIV subtypes according to their occurrence in wild birds, poultry and captive birds (e.g. zoo birds, captive birds).
Chart D shows the distribution of the number of genotypes sequenced over time.
