	India - Sequences from Maharashtra - FluTrackers
		From the study it is clear that the H5N1 virus that caused outbreak in chickens in Jalgaon did not originate from the neighbouring district of Nandurbar where the first outbreak occurred; instead both the HPAI outbreaks in Maharashtra were due to two different populations of the virus introduced at two different times.
		Genetic heterogeneity was observed between the H5N1 viruses isolated in 2006 in different countries; the two viruses of Malaysia and Laos formed a sublineage different from the one consisting of the viruses of India, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Nigeria and Egypt.
		Therefore, it is quite possible that the H5N1 virus 8824/2006 that caused the outbreak in chickens in Jalgaon did not originate from the neighbouring district of Nandurbar where the first outbreak occurred; instead both the HPAI outbreaks in Maharashtra were (possibly) due to two independent populations of the virus introduced at two different times.
