The virus has been found in wild swans in Sicily, and other cases are suspected elsewhere in Italy, the country's health minister says.
A specialist UK laboratory has identified the virus in dead swans found in northern Greece and Bulgaria. |

| Yup, just seen it on the news now and it is - in my opinion - the most worrying news we've really had to date, as the reports indicate that these are real confirmed cases, not the "it's here... oh, sorry, we made a mistake" we've had a lot of so far. |
