Denmark finds first case of H5 bird flu
Denmark has found the first case of the highly pathogenic H5 bird flu virus in a wild fowl, officials said yesterday.
The Ministry for Family and Consumer Affairs, which is in charge of food safety, said it would give further details at a news conference at 1100 GMT.
?At the news conference the authorities will inform about the measures taken as a result of the bird flu,? it said in a statement.
It was still unclear if the case was the deadly H5N1 strain. So far H5N1 has never been found in Denmark.
Danish poultry farmers produce about 3 billion crowns worth of mostly chickens per year with two thirds going to export. Sweden and Germany are the two biggest export markets for Danish poultry.
