Resumen
Descripción
The avian influenza virus H5N1 could become entrenched in poultry, and domestic ducks and geese in parts of Europe, warns FAO. The agency stresses that healthy domestic ducks and geese may transmit the virus to poultry and play a more important role in the persistence of the virus in the region than previously thought. H5N1 surveillance in countries with significant domestic duck and geese populations should be urgently increased. FAO’s warning followed the detection of H5N1 in diseased young do mestic ducks by German scientists.
