Bird flu vaccination

Bird flu vaccination. Researchers preparing to vaccinate a chicken against bird flu. The deadly H5N1 strain of the disease first appeared in 2003 in South-East Asia, and has spread rapidly, being detected in Africa, Asia and most of mainland Europe by early 2006. It is fatal to poultry and several other birds, and can be carried by many more bird species. It is also fatal to humans in some cases, and has been responsible for nearly 100 human deaths by early 2006. Measures to control its spread include vaccination of vulnerable birds. These researchers are at the St Petersburg Avicultural Research Institute, St Petersburg, Russia, where they have been working to develop more effective vaccines. Photographed on 28 February 2006
