July 29, 2005 Dangerous Bird Flu Strain Found in Russia By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 11:40 a.m. ET MOSCOW (AP) -- Investigators have determined that a strain of bird flu virus infecting fowl in Russia is the type that can infect humans, the Agriculture Ministry said Friday. The virus caused the deaths of hundreds of birds in a section of Siberia this month, but no human infections have been reported. In a brief statement, the ministry identified the virus as avian flu type A H5 N1. ''That raises the need for undertaking quarantine measures of the widest scope,'' the statement said. Ministry officials could not immediately be reached for elaboration. Strains of bird flu have been hitting flocks throughout Asia and some fatal human cases have been reported there.
