I think that monitoring and culling are more effective than a poor vaccine. A vaccine that eliminates virus would be useful, but a vaccine that allows sub-clinical levels of virus to circulate invites more recombination and a pandemic that is more difficult to control. Infected birds die and are no longer targets for dual infections. Keeping the virus circulating in millions or billions of birds is not a healthy situation.

The plot may be thickening. A little recombination can go a long way. Recent racing dog deaths in Florida are related to equine flu found in many states in the US (including Wisconsin last year). Some of the genes commonly found in equine flu are related to those found in H5N1 isolates in Asia discuss.agonist.org
