Bird flocks cause bird flu risk

  • Egypt: Thursday, January 24 - 2008 at 07:25

Europe must stay alert to the risk of bird flu affecting humans and focus on small flocks kept by amateurs and small breeders as the main danger, reported Reuters. So far, the nearest that human cases of bird flu have come to the European Union is Turkey and Egypt, where four people died from the disease as recently as last month. In the Egypt cases, where four women died within a week in December, all are thought to have resulted from exposure to dead or backyard birds. That brought Egypt's human death toll from bird flu to 19 since it first emerged in the country in 2006.
