The avian flu epidemic continues in France.

This Wednesday, a sixth farm was affected by the H5N8 virus.

Once again, this is a landes farm.

It is the fourth in the department where the presence of avian influenza is detected within a few days.

Still in the same area, near Saint-Geours-de-Maremne.

Veterinary services are on site, reports

.

Nearly 3,500 ducks and 700 hens will be slaughtered in the coming hours.

For the moment, it is impossible to know if there is a link between these different cases.

Two other farms were affected by bird flu in Deux-Sèvres and Vendée, while cases in the natural environment are also increasing, especially in Brittany.
