The Kadaver of a swan at a lake close Saxonian glad castle
The bird flu reached a second German Land of the Federal Republic with Saxonia. In three dead swans the aggressive virus H5N1 was proven - the Friedrich Loeffler institute estimates the risk of a transmission on utilizable poultry however further moderately.
In glad castle south of Leipzig three dead swans were found, with which the aggressive virus H5N1 was proven, how the Friedrich Loeffler institute (FLI) on the island confirmed Riems with grab forest in the Tuesday evening. On weekend in Nuremberg with six dead swans a H5N1-Infektion had been determined. It was first admits become outbreak of the bird flu in Germany since August 2006.
A case of suspicion from Nuremberg is examined still, communicated the FLI. Also in Saxonia a further verendeter swan still one examine, reported the Saxonian Ministry of Health. The number of the game birds in Germany, infected with bird flu, lies thereby at present with nine, of it eight swans and a Canada goose. The bird flu risk remains however unchanged according to Institut.
Moderate transmission risk
?The new cases from Saxonia change however still nothing in our risk evaluation?, said FLI president Thomas Mettenleiter. It remains with a moderate transmission risk of game birds on utilizable poultry. Whether the animal epidemic arises similarly as in the past year strengthened, is still unclear. The researchers want to examine and with viruses from Tschechien and Hungary compare the hereditary property of the viruses from Bavaria and Saxonia more near, in order to experience more over the origin of the exciters. <SCRIPT type=text/javascript>/* <![CDATA[ */document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ad.de.doubleclick.net/adj/stern-contentad-neu/wissenschaft;pg=wissenschaft;!category=stop;ind=no ;tile=2;sz=1x1;ord='+ time +'?"><\/script>');/* ]]> */</SCRIPT><SCRIPT src="http://ad.de.doubleclick.net/adj/stern-contentad-neu/wissenschaft;pg=wissenschaft;!category=stop;ind=no ;tile=2;sz=1x1;ord=1182920054553?" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

Nuremberg: Bird flu suspicion confirms
In a radius of three kilometers around the discovery site of the swans in glad castle a prohibited area was furnished, as the Saxonian Ministry of Health communicated. Within this zone feather/spring cattle in the stable must be held. Dogs are to be led at the line. Cats may not in the free. Utilizable poultry and poultry products may not be brought or out-transported into the prohibited area. The restrictions apply first to 21 days.
Inoculation strategy demanded
Meanwhile FDP and the Greens in the Bundestag demanded an inoculation strategy for poultry. Green parliamentary group vice B?rbel H?hn warned in the news station n-tv of the fact that the stable obligation could make the open land attitude broken. FDP agrarian politician Hans Michael Goldmann required, the Federal Government is to use itself for omission of animals inoculated by trade restrictions for exports. At present the government rejects precautionary inoculating, because inoculated cannot be differentiated yet from infected animals.
In the spring of the previous yearly in Saxonia in Germany the bird flu in a utilizable animal existence had broken out for the first time. Afterwards the illness in numerous Lands of the Federal Republic arose. Thousands of animals of poultry farms had to be killed. <SCRIPT type=text/javascript>/* <![CDATA[ */document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ad.de.doubleclick.net/adj/stern-textlink-neu/content-wissenschaft;pg=wissenschaft;!category=stop;ind=no ;sz=1x1;ord='+ time +'?"><\/script>');/* ]]> */</SCRIPT><SCRIPT src="http://ad.de.doubleclick.net/adj/stern-textlink-neu/content-wissenschaft;pg=wissenschaft;!category=stop;ind=no ;sz=1x1;ord=1182920054553?" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
