HPAI

If a bird has had a case of low-pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza (LPAI), do the antibodies it has developed against LPAI provide any protection against subsequent exposure to HPAI?
Is LPAI (H5N1) known to be transmitted from birds to any mammals?

While scientists around the world are working overtime to find a solution to the threat of a human pandemic that H5N1 brings, the agency tasked with leading global efforts to solve the problem from the veterinary side has apparently already given up the fight.

There have been quite a few comments made in the press and elsewhere about the lack of significant BF progression recently. I for one am very surprised that HPAI has not arrived definitively in North America. Why hasn't it? Certainly the wild waterfowl flyways from Siberia and West Africa overlap with those on the West and East coasts of North America and one would have to assume that the birds that summer in those regions have been exposed to the virus.
One possible explanation for the retardation in the worldwide spread of HPAI is the El Nino weather event that has affected the northern hemisphere this year. What do you think about this? How could the El Nino cause a slow down in the spread of HPAI within the avian and mammalian populations?
