H5 Strain of Avian Flu Discovered in Canada on Oct 31

[Guest guest]

" On 31 October 2005, Canada has discovered a strain of H5 avian flu in

wild birds and is now checking whether it is the same H5N1 killer

strain which has spread to Europe. "

PLEASE contact your local representatives, the county health dept,

animal control, and vector control and ask them to start testing for

avian flu now. It can save thousands of bird lives (and maybe a few

people) because the sooner they find it, the fewer birds are infected.

The test kits to implement a surveillance program are free from the CA

dept of agriculture.

PS-Did you see this in the news anywhere? I didn't. I found out from a

state vet when I was talking to him about something else.
