Germany had so far remained unaffected by the outbreak of bird flu in the Netherlands which later spread to Belgium. Although some birds had been slaughtered in Germany as a precautionary measure, this is the first suspected case of bird flu in the country. A preliminary test for the disease was positive, although final results will not be available until next week, reported Dow Jones News.
