Romania reports H5N1 bird flu among backyard poultry
Romania has reported an outbreak of avian influenza among poultry, the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) said on Tuesday, as Europe faces a seasonal upturn in the deadly disease commonly known as bird flu.
The virus was detected in a flock of 47 backyard poultry in the eastern village of Mihail Kogalniceanu, causing the death of four birds, the Paris-based WOAH said, citing a report from the Romanian authorities.
