“French swans have deadly bird flu”
“France has now raised its bird flu threat level”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Three swans found dead in eastern France were victims of the H5N1 bird flu virus that can be fatal to humans, tests have confirmed.
French officials raised the bird flu threat to high from moderate after the tests near the German border.
This is only the second outbreak of H5N1 in France. Early last year, 62 wild birds died of the virus in the centre of the country.
Nearly 200 people have died from the H5N1 strain worldwide.”
Some interesting post on that update. Thanks Cindy.
