'Biosecurity lapse' responsible for H5N1
Extracts:
"A recent outbreak of the deadly strain of bird flu H5N1 was caused by poor biosecurity, the environment secretary has stated.
David Miliband said that it is likely that the outbreak is connected to a similar one in Hungary.
The deadly strain of the flu was found in a Bernard Mathews turkey farm in Suffolk, which then culled its entire population of the birds."
"The Food Standards Agency and the Health Protection Agency are currently working with Hungarian officials and with Bernard Mathews, Mr Miliband added."
