If we see what is happening in Europe at this moment, I think we have to be worried. We see dead swans and we know that swans are highly susceptible [to H5N1]. And they share their ponds, the places where they swim, with other birds as well that are less susceptible, for instance ducks. And they might have actually infected the swans, so I think we have to be prepared in Europe, especially since the bird migration is about to start. - Albert Osterhaus Quotes

I think we should form a European influenza task force that brings together all our knowledge, so that if you have outbreaks in the future you could form delegations to work together with local experts in the area where it occurs. - Albert Osterhaus Quotes

Now we have seen it in Greece and Italy and now Germany. It is spreading all over Europe. - Albert Osterhaus Quotes
