The big reason for the diseases is how the birds are housed. Most places have a maximum per building that is just a few thousand. The US doesn't, and often has 10s, if not hundreds, of thousands of birds in one building, which causes disease to spread insanely fast, and creates conditions that breed the diseases in the first place.
