CANBERRA (Reuters) – Highly pathogenic avian influenza has been detected at a third poultry farm in Australia’s Victoria state, the state government said on Wednesday.
Tests confirmed that the flu is an H7N3 strain, it said in a statement. This is not the same as the H5N1 bird flue that has swept through birds and mammals around the world in recent years.
