*

LPAI birds for which information on the H was missing were included in this category. The reporting of birds in this category was not done in a harmonized manner by all MSs. MSs such as Belgium reporting all individual birds involved in mass mortality events that tested positive using pool sampling may be overrepresented in this table.
