Traditionally, H5N1 follows Newcastle Disease by a month or two. Necastle Disease was all over Europe in late 2005 and H5N1 was reported all over Europe in early 2006.
My take of the highlighted text is: It is not known if the bird flu is H5N1.
2000 poultries must die Fugleinfluensaen have come to Denmark.
the experts say it's on the way to Norway.
by david Vojislav Krekling Det
avian flu on a farm on Funen is registered in Denmark.
the farm the avian flu is registered, lie, according to Jyllandsposten, in the vicinity of Stenstrup.
that isn't known about the influenza that has struck the roundly 2000 poultries on the farm, are of the type H5N1 that can also infect human beings.
now wait the experts that the first cases of avian flu have to turn up also in Norway.
more places - that is registered avian flu with wild birds both in tyskland, Switzerland and other places in Europe the latest time.
and yes closer us it puts, yes greater probability there is it for that it'll also be registered in Norway, professor of virology, Espen Rimstad says, at Norway's Veterinary-folk high school
Another reports says: lowpath bird flu in Denmark.

Avian flu on Funen farm
The All hands of hens and ducks has now to be culled on Funen farm, after there is confirmed avian flu.
There is confirmed avian flu on farm near Stenstrup in Funen.
According to Fyns Politi the goods authorities have on Tuesday confirmed that the test is positive.
There are 2000 pieces of hens and ducks on the farm and they are struck down on Tuesday morning.
So far the police have established the barring around the farm, which lies at the address Høje Dong.
The authorities reduced the risk level from means for lichens, in February thus chicken breeders and other owners with poultry could remove the roof of their chicken run.
There had at that time not been outbreaks of the serious type of avian flu - H5N1 - in poultry herds in Poland and Germany since the end of December.
At the same time the disease wasn't found either in wild birds.
Veterinary-manager Jan Mousing from Fødevarestyrelsen informs that the type which is now found on the farm near Svendborg, cannot be compared with the dangerous types of avian flu that they have seen in Southeast Asia. -
There isn't any use for new restrictions.
The precautions are only just valid about the farm where the infection is.
Unless one does something, you can risk that it develops into something more dangerous, but this type, we find from time to other, he says.
Another reports says: lowpath bird flu in Denmark.
Veterinary-manager Jan Mousing from F?devarestyrelsen informs that the type which is now found on the farm near Svendborg, cannot be compared with the dangerous types of avian flu that they have seen in Southeast Asia. -
Qinghai H5N1 is NOT found in Southeast Asia and there have never been reports of H5N1 from southeast Asia west of China. ALL H5N1 west of China is Qinghai (clade 2.2).
The above translation does NOT exclude Qinghai H5N1.
Another reports says: lowpath bird flu in Denmark.
Veterinary-manager Jan Mousing from Fødevarestyrelsen informs that the type which is now found on the farm near Svendborg, cannot be compared with the dangerous types of avian flu that they have seen in Southeast Asia. -
The fact the the vet compared the bird flu to southeast Asia and did NOT compare it to the H5N1 in Denmark in 2006 speaks volumes, i.e. if it was not H5N1 the vet should just say it is NOT the bird flu that was in Denmark in 2006. Instead stories say bird flu has RETURNED to Denmark.
I have not read anything in any of these translations stating that the bird flu was not H5N1, and posting "low path" without specific is as misleading as the above comment on southeast Asia.
A few comments on media spin appear to be appropriate at this point. H5N1 has many clades including 2.2, which iincludes every H5N1 west of China. Although clade 2.2 has caused human cases in Turkey, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Djibouti, Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan, and probably South Korea, there has not been a reported case in Europe.
The H5N1 in Denmark in 2006 was also in northern Germnay, Sweden, and Scotland. However, like all countries in western and central Europe, there were no human cases.
Thus, technically H5N1 in Denmark that was similar to H5N1 in Denmark in 2006 or the Uvs Lake strain that has been reported throughout Europe, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia in 2007 and 2008 has not caused a REPORTED human case of H5N1, so officials could say that the Uvs Lake H5N1 has not caused a human infection and they could use a made up definition of "low path", i,e, no human infections or no serious infections in waterfowl, and end up calling Uvs Lake H5N1 low path which doesn't infect humans.
This type of deception should not be propagated in thread headlines. If the reports give the serotype, then "low path" is appropriate. A non-descript "low path" definition is not an appropriate header. Many Qinghai H5N1 infections have been called low path by agencies that should know better.
Bird flu virus detected in Denmark 2008-04-29 10:55:12
STOCKHOLM, April 28 (Xinhua) --
Bird flu virus has been detected on a farm in Denmark's central Fyn island, the country's veterinary department announced Monday.
Some 2,000 chickens on the farm in Stenstrup on the island will be culled Tuesday to contain the spread of the disease, the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration said in a statement .
Initial checks show that the virus detected is not the deadly H5N1 strain that has ravaged Southeast Asia over the past two years.
Denmark was earlier struck by avian influenza in 2006.
Last year Germany had high path H5N1 that produced asymptomatic infections in waterfowl. Please provide link for low path H5N1. There are no such sequences at genbank.

[GERMANY, POULTRY, AVIAN INFLUENZA] German poultry farms culled as protective measure 08 Sep 2007 15:47:16 GMT
Source: Reuters
BERLIN, Sept 8 (Reuters) - German authorities started culling tens of thousands of birds at two farms in the Bavarian towns of Trumling and Hofing as a protective measure over fears of the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu.
An outbreak of birdflu was identified in the nearby Bavarian town of Wachenroth on Aug. 25 after dead ducks found in a poultry farm tested positive for the highly pathogenic H5N1 strain of the virus.
Frank Pfeffer, a spokesman for the state office in Schwandorf, said 205,000 birds will be culled in a drive that is expected to run into next week.
The farm in Wachenroth in Bavaria's Erlangen-Hoechstadt area was sealed off and all 160,000 birds there were culled. Officials discovered the infection after more than 400 ducks at the farm died over a short period of time.
The two farms in Trumling and Hofing had business ties with the farm in Wachenroth. Tests conducted on the birds in Trumling and Hofing found that they had antibodies that indicated the presence of H5N1, Pfeffer said.
He said there was no outbreak of bird flu in Trumling or Hofing and that none of the birds showed signs of illness. But he added the blood tests were enough to justify the culling action.
Germany identified several cases of the deadly H5N1 strain in wild birds in Bavaria in June. Several bird flu infections were also registered in Germany last year.
Globally, the H5N1 virus has killed 195 people out of 322 known cases, according to the World Health Organisation. Hundreds of millions of birds have died or been slaughtered.
The vast majority of bird flu deaths have been in Asia. No deaths have yet been registered in the European Union. deaths have been registered in the European Union.

Correct - the above story does NOT say there was ANY low path H5N1 in Germany. High path H5N1 frequently does not kill or produce symptoms in waterfowl. Pathogenicity is define by a polybasic HA cleavage site or effects on experimental chickens. All recent H5N1 in Germany has been high path (clade 2.2 Qinghai strain).
