歐盟執委會在15日發佈消息指稱,歐洲方面又有兩個國家──匈牙利及奧地利,在死亡的野生天鵝身上檢驗出禽流感病毒。目前檢體已被送往英國威布里治的「歐盟參考實驗室」等待更進一步的檢驗,以確認是否為致命的H5N1病毒株。在過去兩年內,這個病毒已造成數以萬計的鳥禽死亡,並奪走超過60條人命。

Bird Flu Spreads Westward Across Europe
BRUSSELS, Belgium, February 17, 2006 (ENS)
Bird flu has been found in the bodies of dead wild swans in two new European countries - Hungary and Austria - the European Commission said Wednesday. Samples have been sent to the European Community Reference Laboratory in Weybridge, UK for further tests to determine whether this is the deadly H5N1 strain that has caused the deaths of hundreds of millions of birds and more than 60 humans in the past two years.
