The bird flu virus H5N1 has been detected for the first time outside the US in a cow in the Netherlands. Antibodies against the pathogen were found in the milk of the animal on a farm in the province of Friesland. The Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut in Greifswald confirms that no such case was previously known worldwide.
A Hong Kong poultry stall in Sha Tin’s Wo Che Market was suspended for disinfection after an environmental sample tested positive for the H9 bird flu virus. A two-year-old boy had contracted H9N2 after visiting the market, though shoppers said they were not worried.

Ilmuwan dari Universitas Cambridge dan Glasgow telah menunjukkan mengapa banyak virus flu burung dapat terus bereplikasi pada suhu seperti demam yang biasanya menghambat flu manusia. Studi di Science mengidentifikasi gen PB1 virus sebagai kunci toleransi panas ini, menimbulkan kekhawatiran risiko pandemi jika gen tersebut berpindah ke strain manusia.
