A second case of avian influenza was detected in France, in a pet store located in Yvelines (Ile-de-France), three days after the announcement of a first outbreak in Haute-Corse. The strain discovered in this new outbreak is the same as in Haute-Corse, and an epidemiological investigation has been launched in order to identify the links between these two foci and the origin of the contamination.
As in Haute-Corse, all the birds in the Yvelines animal facility were euthanized and protection and surveillance zones were set up around the outbreak.
