The bird flu virus (H5N1) was already proven in birds in land/regions by China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Kambodscha, Kasachstan, Korea, Croatia, Malaysia, Mongolia, Romania, Russia, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine and Viet Nam. The moreover one the bird flu virus (H5N1) was proven also in one made of Surinam imported parrots in Great Britain. The bird arrived in September 2005 in Great Britain and with birds from Taiwan in quarantine was held. In Laos and on the Philippines the H5-Virus was proven and in Taipei (China) the H5N2-Virus in birds. A further propagation of the bird flu virus (H5N1) is feared. Cases of the bird flu with humans were announced in Thailand in the year 2004, and since October 2005 from the northeast of the country (province Kalasin).

With journeys to countries with increased hepatitis an A-occurrence should hepatitis a A-Impfschutz be considered.
