Avian Influenza H5N8 -- Netherlands
About 190 000 ducks have been culled in the Netherlands as the authorities try to prevent the spread of bird flu across northern European countries. The slaughter involved 6 farms, following the discovery of a virus in the village of Biddinghuizen, some 70 km (43 miles) east of Amsterdam.
Officials said they were checking for bird flu at farms within 3 km [2 mi] of the original site and imposed a ban on transporting poultry products within a 10 km (6 mi) radius.
