Sweden reports outbreak of bird flu

 
Headline:  WATT Poultry, 6/19/2026

Jackie Linden reports:
Over the past two weeks, the only European country to detect the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus in commercial poultry has been Sweden. 
In early June, a spike in mortality in mallard ducks kept for restocking game and breeding was initially blamed on heat stress. Around 1,000 of the almost 50,000 birds at the farm in Helsingborg died. 
Subsequently, the H5N1 HPAI virus was detected at the premises, according to the official notification from the national animal health authority to the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH). 
The source of infection is unknown. Located in Skåne county, Helsingborg is in southwest of Sweden.
