H5N1 found in dead Lake Towada swans
The deadly H5N1 strain of avian influenza was found in three dead swans near Lake Towada in Akita Prefecture. The birds were found in the town of Kosaka.
Local officials inspected chicken farms in the area for signs of the virus.
The outbreak of the H5N1 virus is the first in Japan since March 2007, when the virus was found in an eagle in Sagara, Kumamoto Prefecture.
The virus has been spreading in South Korea since April and there had been fears that migratory birds would bring it to Japan. (Kyodo News)
