Our goal was that poultry would not get infected by bird flu and we were successful in this.

At the moment Switzerland's goal is protecting its poultry from bird flu.

Bird flu isn't over in Switzerland. We are not finding cases any more but on the other hand we can be quite sure that the bird flu virus will remain in the wild bird population in Switzerland for years to come ? our guess is about five-20 years.

It's not a surprise. It shows that China like other countries that have bird flu in poultry can have human cases.

Only birds can be infected. There is no bird flu strain that can be transmitted to humans in Dagestan.

The two patients have been confirmed to be infected with bird flu in accordance with the standards of the World Health Organization.
