European countries, now on panic with the incoming flights of migratory birds from Asia as winter season is near. A known case of positive identification of the H5N1 bird flu strain in Romania and Turkey, drew attention on the neighboring boarders including ,Hungary , Germany , Greece and Great Britain. Birds will have to be subject for culling in thousands to contain the strain from spreading out to the local domesticated fowls. Pharmaceutical laboratories are on high scale production of anti flu vaccine and medications in anticipation of a pandemic once the mutation of virus strain from bird to human leap then from human to human. Health Ministers and officials urges member state of the European Union "to effectively coordinate action against the outbreak of avian flu". The season is near for the influx of migrating birds from Central Asia, and the poultry have to be put on their respective stalls to avoid physical contact with the coming of the suspected carriers of the deadly strain. Fear of a widespread contamination, the top priority agenda on the emergency meeting of the European Union Foreign Ministers in Luxembourg. The Ministers appeal the public for calm and assured them that every effort is being done. The possible avian flu transfer to human is being monitored closely on a coordinated plans by the Union Member states. Here in Southeast Asia, We have to be informed and be given a close study by the WHO(World Health Organization)for we are the breeding ground of this Virus strain, and its possible mutations. Our own natural savior might be the tropical climate of our region. Heat might slow down the mutation process unlike in the cold winters of Western Europe. Be Aware! "Keep ourselves and our surroundings clean and healthy". Source** DW-WORLD DE pic** H5N1 Strain
