Authorities believe that the bird flu discovered on the farms in Manyas originated with sick birds flying from the Ural Mountains towards Africa, stopping en route in Manyas. Springing into action, health teams in Manyas ordered the immediate burial of the birds dead from bird flu, as well as the destruction of another 2,600 turkeys found on a nearby farm and thought to be also infected.
The area in question is an important center of poultry meat and egg production for Turkey, and so authorities are acting fast to reassure the public that everything possible is being done to prevent the 9 million or so poultry animals in area farms from becoming sick. Authorities note that the number of birds being destroyed may rise in coming days.
