Bird flu tightens hold on Europe

Bird flu took a firm hold on Europe on Thursday, moving officially into Slovenia, and putting countries in the Middle East and Africa on alert.

While swans were the sentinels, their limp bodies a dramatic testament to the spread of the virus, experts said other birds were almost certainly carrying H5N1 influenza to poultry.

Germany discovered 10 more H5N1 cases, Greece detected an additional two and Austria also reported one more.

"Of course we are worried and we have to get used to the fact that avian flu is now spreading within the European Union," Zsuzsanna Jakab, head of the EU's Stockholm-based European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, told Reuters television.

Hungary was awaiting results from a specialist laboratory in Britain to determine whether the H5 virus detected in three dead wild swans on Wednesday was the H5N1 strain.

"Even with the most rigorous action we cannot assume that we will overcome this matter in a few weeks," German Agriculture Minister Horst Seehofer said in a televised speech.

Iraq declared a bird flu alert in a province south of the capital Baghdad to prevent people from transporting birds in and out of the area, Al Arabiya television reported .

The virus killed an Iraqi teenage girl in January.

H5N1 influenza remains mainly a disease of poultry, and has killed or forced the culling of more than 200 million birds across Asia, parts of the Middle East, Europe and Africa.
