Last doubts about bird flu in German swans dispelled
Further tests reveal that the two swans found dead on the German island Rügen were infected with H5N1.
Thus all doubts have been dispelled as to whether the two swans were indeed infected, says Reinhard Kurth, the leader of the Robert Koch Institute which is the center for disease control in Germany.
Unfortunately it has been confirmed that the Swans were infected with the H5N1 strain from Asia, said Kurth on German TV.
