>>The presence of such mutations in the H5N1 isolates in Vietnam suggest prior human cases were treated with the drug, leading to the resistance mutations<<

sounds like unfounded to me. Chickens and all animals in the US as well as other developed countries take antibiotics like there is no tomorrow. And their animal feeds are exported to all over the world. So why the anti-viral sequence has to come from human? and has to come from China? but not from the imported animal feeds, not from Viet Nam itself or other developed countries?

Avian flu has had more than one hundred years of history now, and it was started in Britain after all, so what is the point to keep insisting on that this time it started from China? Yes, China IS a developing country, and environmental/personal/animal hygiene is not as good as the ones in developed country. So what? Bashing China will do NOTHING to help the situation, nor making some unfounded assumption.
