  • [01] Authorities step up efforts to detect 'bird flu'

    Veterinary authorities around the country on Monday continued to collect samples from dead wild fowl and poultry in the wake of the first positive results of "bird flu" detected in Greece, and specifically in three dead swans found in a border prefecture last week. Authorities in the greater Athens area were especially concentrating on taking samples from migratory water fowl with a directive listing preventative measures sent to park officials.

    Authorities in the northeastern border prefecture of Evros, where the infected swans were found, also stepped up testing in the area and continued efforts to disinfect vehicles and trains entering the prefecture from neighboring Bulgaria and Turkey.

    Good news, meanwhile, came from the northern city of Thessaloniki, where two individuals that had reportedly come into contact with sick birds over the recent period, before coming down with flu-like symptoms, tested negative for "avian influenza".

    The first individual, a 29-year-old man, is a reportedly a duck hunter, while the second, a 15-year-old youth, brought an ailing bird into his home nine days ago. A second round of testing is pending.
