TOMSK. May 22 (Interfax-Siberia) - Anti-bodies of the H5N1 bird flu virus have been found in 16 migratory ducks killed in the Tomsk region.

The regional veterinary laboratory has examined 4,681 birds, including 2,080 from poultry farms and 1,799 from private holdings, Viktor Loshchinkin, head of the regional emergency situations committee told Interfax.

"The presence of anti-bodies in 16 wild ducks should not provide grounds for concerns, however," Loshchinkin said. sd

Pardon my ignorance - is Omsk the same as Tomsk?


Bird flu hits three villages in West Siberia
http://en.rian.ru/russia/20060522/48431095.html

NOVOSIBIRSK, May 22 (RIA Novosti) - Birds in three districts of West Siberia's Omsk Region have died of bird flu, a spokesman for the local emergencies ministry said Monday.

"An investigation showed that dead birds in three districts of the region were infected with avian influenza," the spokesman said, adding that quarantine had been imposed in the three villages where birds had died between May 15 and 19.

He added that 136 birds had died in six districts of the region since May 13.

The Emergency Situations Ministry said last month that around 1.1 million birds had died of the disease in Russia, and 0.3 million had been culled in measures to control the spread of the virus since the beginning of February.

No human cases of bird flu have yet been diagnosed in Russia.
