Another H5N1 Outbreak in Ukraine

Recombinomics Commentary 14:50
February 8, 2008

In the village Kirovski Black Sea region of Crimea in the private courtyard case detected in poultry.

The above translation describes another H5N1 outbreak on the Ukraine peninsula (see satellite map). This report follows an earlier outbreak in the Ukraine, as well as multiple outbreaks on the Black Sea shores of Turkey.

These multiple reports signal increased activity in areas frequented by wild birds, but the outbreaks are being reported on farms, once again signaling shortfalls in wild bird surveillance in the region.

More outbreaks in the near term are expected.

H5N1 Confirmed in Wild Birds on Crimea Peninsula

Recombinomics Commentary 22:05

In Sevastopol they revealed bird influenza in migratory birds.

The above translation describes the detection of H5N1 in wild migratory birds on the Crimea peninsula. The detection is not a surprise. Ukraine has already reported two outbreaks in poultry this season, as have multiple locations near the shores of the Black Sea (see satellite map). These poultry deaths signal H5N1 presence in wild birds in the region.

More H5N1 in the region in wild birds and poultry farms is expected.
