Big spike in bird flu cases raises concerns at World Organisation for Animal Health
The number of cases of highly pathogenic H5N8 surged by nearly 75 per cent between December and January as outbreaks were confirmed in the United Kingdom and 17 other European countries.
Nearly 1.6 million poultry have been culled as a result of the virus.
