AP - 1 hour, 12 minutes ago
BUCHAREST, Romania - Tests have confirmed a link between the bird flu found in Romania and the deadly virus that has devastated flocks in Asia and turned up in Turkey, the European Commission said Saturday. The announcement came after Romania's agriculture ministry said the flu detected in wild birds found dead in the Danube delta was the H5N1 strain. "Tests confirmed that the virus in Romania was an H5N1 strain, but further tests were required to confirm the link with the strain found in Asia and Turkey," the European Union's executive body said in a statement.
