*Samples were only tested for relevant strains based on the collection location, year of collection, and estimated age of the monkey. Monkeys from Indonesia were not tested for influenza subtype H5N1 viruses because samples were collected in 2001 and 2002 and subtype H5N1 viruses were first reported in poultry from Indonesia in February 2004. Samples with a hemagglutination inhibition value ≥1:10 were considered positive. NSA, no samples available for testing; NA, not applicable for use in vaccine; BHG, bar-headed goose; JWE, Japanese white-eye.
†Individual monkey gave positive results for both strains.
‡Individual monkeys gave positive results for both strains.
§Individual monkey gave positive results for both strains.
