Bird flu reappears in Romania

A NEW case of the H5 strain of bird flu has been detected in a duck and a chicken at Periprava in the Danube Delta.
"As from today, Thursday, we are going to start the slaughter of about 1500 birds at Periprava," said Ioan Boieru, the sub-prefect of the south-east Tulcea region of Romania.
"We are counting on the good cooperation of breeders, since they will all be compensated."
Scientists will not know until further tests have been done whether the influenza is the potentially lethal H5NI strain, which has killed more than 60 people in Asia and which it is feared could cause a global flu pandemic
Periprava is the second source of the H5 virus discovered in recent weeks. Last weekend, Health Minister Gheorghe Flutur announced the slaughter of 15,000 domestic birds in the eastern village of Scarlatesti following detection of the H5 virus in a Turkey.
The Scarlatesti case was the first instance of bird flu outside the Danube delta, where tens of thousands of birds were slaughtered after bird flu was discovered in eight places.
