Officials say avian flu bound to hit Europe
August 5, 2005
Russia
MOSCOW -- Russian authorities, struggling to contain an outbreak of
avian flu that has killed thousands of birds in Siberia, yesterday
acknowledged that a spread of the virus into Europe seems almost
inevitable. ''It is quite likely that the flu will creep westward. What
else can it do? The infection is picking up momentum," said Viktor
Maleyev, deputy director of the Russian Health Ministry's Institute of
Epidemiology. Equally worrying, health officials confirmed that the
outbreak includes a strain that has been known to affect humans.
Scientists fear that expansion of the virus's geography increases the
chances of a major outbreak within the human population. Some poultry
farms on the west side of the Ural Mountains are under precautionary
alerts. (Los Angeles Times)
