A village in southeastern Romania was quarantined on Tuesday after five chickens tested positive for an H5 variant of bird flu, said the head of the country’s National Animal Health Agency.
The virus was first detected late on Friday in quick tests in Albesti, 100km east of Bucharest, a sign that the virus was turning up west of the Danube Delta, where the deadly H5N1 strain of the virus was first confirmed in October.
Gabriel Predoi of the agency said: “The virus was confirmed in Albesti and the local health authorities will began the isolation of the affected area.”
On Friday, the H5 virus was also confirmed in the nearby village of Stelnica.
