Bulgaria reports the first avian influenza outbreak this year
The virus was detected on a farm with 25,000 laying quails near the Bulgarian town of Etropole, some 80 km northeast of its capital Sofia, after reports of high mortality among the birds, the agency said in a statement.

This is the first bird flu outbreak in Bulgaria this year, according to the agency.
