Confirmation that highly pathogenic avian influenza has been found in Turkey and that avian influenza is now also in Romania is of concern. It shows that there is a risk to the U.K. and this is a developing situation, which we are monitoring closely.

252

We are investigating whether there any links or movements between the two suspect farms and the confirmed infected premises.

Our working hypothesis is that any infection in the birds from Surinam is likely to have arisen in the quarantine system, most likely in the facility in Essex where the Surinam birds shared airspace with the birds from Taiwan.

The closest match is a strain identified in ducks in China earlier this year. It is not so similar to the strains from Romania and Turkey.

There is no reason for public health concern.

We are already in a high state of readiness.
