If not H5N1, what is the serotype?From Interfax H5N1 virus not detected in wild birds killed in Sakhalin cull

I suspect this story just shows that H5N1 was NOT detected in Sakhalin.From Interfax H5N1 virus not detected in wild birds killed in Sakhalin cull
More soon...
How would this relate to detection of H5N1? The headline indicates that testing was done (and was negative).Please take note that a big fight is going on between Russia and Japan over these islands.
On top of this a couple of weeks ago, Gasprom has decided to prompt or to push Japan request.
Might not be related but in the sequences of negociations, I am in the wait and see mode.

But the report says birds were NEGATIVE.Henry, I have seens the modus operandi of Russia in that region against Shell. Shell invest huge amount of money and once gas was found, Russia decrete that Shell did not respect environment retrospective laws,
So as for their proganda tools, I would not be surprised that they use this as a toll to rise fears, specialy, remember, few weeks ago the H5N1 outbreak in Japan and the subsequent media rhetoric used by Nihon MSM.
I am not sure of course, but I would certainly not be surprise that they are playing Mind and Cultural games here to get to their ends.

The story seems a bit fuzzy, because there does seem to be a cull, but its not clear if this was part of a surveillance program or if the culled birds had some symptoms (and of course if they were H5N1 positive, that would be breaking news).I'm sorry. I think I overreacted while reading the wires. Further, in Russian language I wasn't able to find any other piece of news regarding Sakhalin incidents with wild birds involvement.
Perhaps, one of the editor may change the headline of the thread accordingly. IOH
