Bird Flu > H5N1 > Recent animal cases On 3 February 2006, people informed the Veterinary Authorities about the presence of a swan found dead in the sea by a fisherman near Asprovalta village. On the same date, the coastguard authority informed the Veterinary Authorities about the presence of a dead swan found in the sea by a fisherman near Thessaloniki city. The Veterinary Authorities collected both swans and sent them immediately to the national reference laboratory (NRL). Since 9 February 2006, the Veterinary Authority of Thessaloniki has been conducting an epizootiological survey throughout the Prefecture. The survey has found no evidence of avian influenza in the area. Strict biocecurity measures have been applied to all poultry farms, establishments with captive birds, pet shops and especially to backyard flocks kept in villages throughout the Prefecture. The Veterinary Directorate of Thessaloniki is fully implementing the measures contained in European Commission Decision 2006/86/EC. These two new cases are located within the surveillance zone established following the case that occurred in the area of Stavros village. On 10 February 2006, the veterinary authorities were informed about the presence of a dead swan (Cygnus olor) on the coast at Polychrono village and immediately collected the bird and sent it to NRL. The veterinary authorities have been performing an epizootiological survey and applying the measures contained in 2006/115/EU Commission Decision since 17 February 2006 when the NRL notified positive for AI results. Approximatley 32 outbreaks have been confirmed, including in villages near Izmir and Ankara. Recent outbreaks have effected some 32,244 poultry between 3 Jan. and 13 Feb. One outbreak in Elazig province (Merkez Isikyolu) occurred in a small-scale commercial (broiler) poultry flock. All the other outbreaks occurred in backyard (village) poultry flocks. In addition, H5 virus was detected in a swan in Bartin province, in two pigeons in Diyarbakir and Mardin provinces, in two starlings in Samsun province and in an owl and another wild bird in Tokat.
