Hong Kong: wild bird may have H5 flu virus
Preliminary test results show a dead Oriental magpie found in a country park in Hong Kong has H5 influenza, according to a press release from the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. Further tests are being run to determine if the bird had avian flu H5N1. The bird was found on December 29 near the Hok Tau management center in Pat Sin Leng Country Park. The park is in the northeastern part of the New Territories. There are no commercial chicken farms within three kilometers of the site. Avian flu is considered endemic (consistently present) among wild birds around Hong Kong, and activity typically increases in the Northern Hemisphere winter months.
