Most of the information regarding influenza infection in Bangladesh has focused on passive surveillance of backyard or commercial farms [22, 23] . This report primarily details influenza infection in several live bird markets of Bangladesh because of the hypothesized role that live bird markets play on the epidemiology of AIV [8, 19] . Active surveillance efforts were concentrated on the retail markets, with farms, pet bird markets, and migratory birds also being sampled. H9N2-subtype influenza is circulating in the bird markets, and HP H5N1 subtype has been found, albeit at extremely low levels. These findings highlight the need for continued, active surveillance in poultry markets.
