Canadian who died from H5N1 flu might have caught it in illegal bird market

Re: Canadian who died from H5N1 flu might have caught it in illegal bird market
It is curious.
The strain was characterized (see Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal) and was seen in very few instances.
Furthermore, it has some genetic signatures matching another strain isolated in a zoo tiger in Jiangsu.
How did a such kind of strain manage to infect a single individual in a poultry market, without any other case noticed at local level and in the chickens?
