*H, hemagglutinin; ID, identification; HI, hemagglutination inhibition.
†Identical numbers indicate same sampling site.
‡All titers for H3 (A/duck/Laos-Xaythany/A0573/2007) were <10. H4, A/duck/Czech/1956; H5 clade 2.3.2, A/common magpie/Hong Kong/5052/2007; H5 clade 2.3.4, A/duck/Laos/3295/2006; H6, A/turkey/Massachusetts/1965; H9 lineage G1, A/Hong Kong/33982/2009; H9 lineage Y280, A/duck/Hong Kong/Y280/1997.
§Values represent HI titers reciprocal to the highest dilution of serum that inhibited haemagglutination of 4 hemagglutination units of antigen by using 0.5% chicken erythrocytes.
