Three swans found dead in eastern France due to H5N1 bird flu virus infection, confirmed by French agriculture ministry. Tests were found positive on swans for deadly avian flu virus. French officials have set up a control zone about 1 km around a pond, where the young swans were found dead, and the ministry said it was increasing its bird flu threat level to “high” from “moderate”, and domestic birds across the country would be protected to avoid all contact with wild birds. France, Europe’s biggest poultry producer, had increased its precautions against bird flu in June, saying the risk of the disease hitting the country had gone up after it was found in a number of wild birds in Germany. The H5N1 bird flu virus, which experts fear could transmute into deadly human influenza, has also been found in wild birds in Hungary, Britain, Germany and the Czech Republic this year. Globally, the H5N1 virus has killed nearly 200 people out of over 300 known cases, according to the World Health Organisation. None of the victims were from Europe.

U Bugarskoj potvrđena pojava ptičje gripe Europska komisija objavila je da je riječ o prvom slučaju veoma patogene ptičje gripe u Europskoj uniji u zadnjih godinu dana Bugarske vlasti objavile su u četvrtak da je kraj luke Varne na Crnome moru pronađena uginula ptica, a pretrage su pokazale da je bila zaražena smrtonosnim virusom ptičje gripe H5N1. Ministarstvo poljoprivrede objavilo je da je testiranje uginuloga običnog škanjca provedeno na državnome centru za veterinu. Drugih slučaja veoma patogenog soja H5N1 virusa ptičje gripe zasad nema, ali farmeri su upozoreni na opasnost da divlje ptice i selice prenesu tu bolest. Prije dva tjedna izbila je epidemija ptičje gripe među peradi u dvorištu u jednom selu u susjednoj Rumunjskoj, ali sva perad je ubijena. Europska komisija objavila je da je riječ o prvom slučaju ptičje gripe u Europskoj uniji u zadnjih godinu dana, od potvrđenog slučaja zaražene divlje patke u Njemačkoj u ožujku 2009.
