Bird flu detected in SE Hungary
H5N1 bird flu has been detected in Békés County, in south-eastern Hungary, the national food safety authority (Nébih) said on Monday, after the virus was confirmed in a sample taken from a poultry farm in Orosháza rearing 7,400 mallard geese, which are in the process of being destroyed.
An epidemiological investigation to reveal the cause of the outbreak is also underway, and a 3km radius observation zone has been demarcated around the farm.
H5N1 has already appeared in the counties of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok, Csongrád-Csanád; Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg; Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, Bács-Kiskun and Hajdú-Bihar.
The mandatory confinement of poultry only applies in high-risk counties, while indoor feeding and drinking, as well as the storage of feed and litter, is required in closed places nationwide, Nébih noted.
