德国爆发高致病性禽流感疫情

Germany has reported an outbreak of the highly pathogenic H5N8 bird flu virus in a backyard in the southwestern part of the country, the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) says.

世界动物卫生组织(OIE)表示，德国报告称，该国西南部一个后院爆发了高致病性H5N8禽流感病毒。

The virus killed 44 birds out of a flock of 69 in Bretzfeld in the Baden-Wurttemberg region, the Paris-based OIE said, citing a report from Germany's food and agriculture ministry.

总部位于巴黎的世界动物卫生组织(OIE)援引德国食品和农业部的一份报告称，巴登-符腾堡州布雷茨菲尔德69只禽鸟中有44只死于禽流感。

All poultry and captive birds have been culled and safely disposed of on February 7, 2020. No poultry, poultry products or captive birds have been dispatched, it said in the report.

“在2020年2月7日，所有家禽和捕获的鸟类都已被扑杀并安全处理。没有家禽、家禽产品或圈养禽鸟被送出。”

A case of H5N8 bird flu had been confirmed in a wild bird in the eastern German state of Brandenburg in January but no birds on farms were involved, the ministry had then said.

德国农业部当时表示，今年1月在德国东部勃兰登堡州的一只野鸟身上发现了H5N8禽流感病例，但农场内没有禽鸟。
