Avian flu in Lancashire

Sweetpea · #1 (**permalink**) 07-06-07, 22:46

A low-risk strain of bird flu has been found at a smallholding near St Helens in Merseyside.

A restriction zone has been placed around the area following the positive tests for the disease. Some of the infected chickens had been bought from a market held in Chelford that was associated with a recent bird flu outbreak in north Wales.
