Balkans are bird flu gateway to wider Europe
Millions of birds migrate each year to Black Sea neighbours Romania and Bulgaria for the milder winter climate, making the area a potential gateway to central Europe for the bird flu virus, which has already swept into Russia from southeast Asia.
Today in Romania were found 3 dead ducks - near the Danube delta.They tested them for a burd flu and the tests were positive.The birds were sent to the UK for complete analyses.The authorities put 3 kilometres of that area under quarantine.
"There is a risk of spreading the deadly strain of flu to local wildlife in whole Europe" said Boris Barov, head of Bulgarian Society for Protection of Birds.
Also in Turkey(but not in its minor European part) there are cases of bird flu.In 1 farm about 2000 Turkeys(lol) were infected and died.
Now we can only welcome the bird flu.
