According to the preliminary epidemiological investigation, poultry in the eastern locality of Murighiol was contaminated with the bird flu virus from migratory birds, informs a release of the National Sanitary Veterinary and Animal Safety Authority (ANSVSA).

Fodder for the poultry bred in the contaminated household came from a region intensely sought by wild birds.
