Bird flu strikes in Danube delta
Romania has reported its first bird flu cases but it is unclear if the strain found in the Danube delta is the deadly H5N1 virus which hit parts of Asia.
Scientists in Bucharest discovered flu antibodies in three domestic ducks found dead in a remote village late last month, the government said.
The exact strain is to be determined by a lab in the UK in the next few days.
According to an unconfirmed report, three more cases of bird flu have since been found and a cull has begun.
The first three cases were found in the village of Ceamurlia de Jos, Agriculture Minister Gheorghe Flutur said.
