Abstract
Influenza A virus infection appears to be common in many species of wild birds in Canada (1). However, outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in commercial poultry are infrequent. In commercial birds, outbreaks of H7N3 HPAI occurred in British Columbia in 2004 (2) and in Saskatchewan in 2007 (3).
