Further outbreaks of bird flu are expected in Europe and the virus will likely be found next in Greece and Ukraine, AP quoted a World Health Organization expert as saying Tuesday. Those countries are at risk because they are on the migration routes of wild birds traveling from countries where a deadly strain of the virus has been detected, including Russia and Croatia, said Bernardus Ganter of the WHO's European regional office. The disease has also been found in birds in Turkey and Romania. "We will see more outbreaks in the future in the area," Ganter told reporters in Copenhagen, referring to Croatia. "I wouldn't be surprised if we detect cases in Greece and Ukraine next." Greek health authorities on Saturday said final results of tests on a sick turkey found on a Greek island showed it had not been infected with the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu. --more 1449 Local Time 1149 GMT
