The United Nations bird flu expert recently stated that migratory birds from Siberia may carry the bird flu virus in conjunction with migratory birds from northern Europe in the Balkans and fly to warm winters in the south. This "meeting" may lead to the bird flu virus entering the European continent from the Balkans.
According to Reuters, every winter, a large number of migratory birds travel to Romania and Bulgaria in the Black Sea region for winters, which may make the region a "gateway" for the bird flu virus to enter the European continent. Samuel Juzi, an expert at the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation responsible for monitoring bird flu outbreaks, said that from the bird flu epidemic situation in Southeast Asia and Russia, the bird flu virus may be carried by migratory birds to reach the Balkans within a few months.
You Qi said that because of the fixed migratory route of migratory birds, there will be a higher risk of bird flu in the southeastern region of the Balkans. The region is currently the key monitoring area of ​​the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. Since Romania and Bulgaria are relatively backward economies in Europe, they may have insufficient experience in epidemic prevention and control. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is currently paying close attention to the situation in both countries.
The Danube Delta in Romania is Europe’s largest wetland conservation area. More than 1 million migratory birds each year spend their winter in the area and lakes in northern Bulgaria. According to a report by the Chinese Ministry of Finance, a bird flu outbreak has recently occurred in the Fracha District of northern Bulgaria.
