Bird flu antibodies found in wild goose in Arkhangelsk region

ARKHANGELSK. May 6 (Interfax) - H5 bird flu antibodies have been found in the blood of a wild goose shot for testing outside Arkhangelsk, Nikolai Yuferev, the chief expert from the Arkhangelsk regional veterinary department, told Interfax.

The find indicates that either the goose had contact with a sick bird or was sick itself, Yuferev said. "It would be premature to make conclusions from this single fact," he said. The combination of H5 and N1 antibodies are dangerous to humans, but the laboratory equipment in Arkhangelsk is inadequate for more specific tests, Yuferev said. The amount of samples provided to the laboratory was insufficient for comprehensive tests, he said. The heads of local governments in Severodvinsk and the Nyandoma district have been notified about the bird flu antibodies in the goose.

New test shootings of wild birds will be held in the near future. The hunting season in the Arkhangelsk region opens on May 7.
