Low-Path Bird Flu Detected in Denmark
10 March 2010
DENMARK - Low-pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) has been found on a duck farm during routine surveillance.
The veterinary authority sent an Immediate Notification dated 8 March to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).
The report says that the virus was found on a farm at Fuglebjerg on the island of East on 5 March. The affected population was a breeding farm with 190 mallards and five hens. The suspicion arose on 5 March 2010 due to positive samples taken in connection with the surveillance programme for avian influenza. All the birds have been destroyed.
The virus appears to be an H7 sub-type but serology results are pending.
The last outbreak of avian flu in Denmark was in May 2008.
