Study Shows Wild Birds Could Spread Avian Flu

Research states that wild ducks that are already immune to the deadly H5N1 virus causing the fatal avian influenza could be instrumental in spreading the disease to other parts of the earth during migration. The northern pintail ducks which migrated from Japan were tracked by satellites transmitters attached to the birds. Observations revealed that these birds flew from a marsh that was infected by bird-flu. More data: click here.
