H5N1 confirmed on UK farm

Over 6,000 birds are being slaughtered on farm near Suffolk as a result of a recent bird flu strain was confirmed as H5N1. There was an earlier outbreak of H5N1 in February in Suffolk as well.

I've blogged several times previously on avian influenza and this particular strain. To date there have been no cases of the H5N1 strain in Canada.
