PARIS (Reuters) -Hungary reported an outbreak of highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu on a fattening duck farm, the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) said on Friday, as Europe faces a swift seasonal upturn in the deadly disease.
The spread of avian influenza, commonly called bird flu, has raised concerns among governments and the poultry industry after it ravaged flocks around the world in recent years, disrupting supply, fuelling higher food prices and raising the risk of human transmission.
The H5N1 virus was detected in a flock of 19,700 ducks in the town of Szolnok, causing the death of 725 birds, the Paris-based WOAH said, citing a report from the Hungarian authorities. The remaining ducks were subsequently culled as a precaution.
