Wild birds 'partly' to blame for bird flu spread (http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn9251?DCMP-NLC=nletter&nsref=dn9251)

Debora MacKenzie

Wild birds have helped transmit the deadly H5N1 bird flu across Eurasia, a meeting of 300 scientists at the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) concluded on Wednesday. But killing them to prevent further spread of the disease is not the answer, they warn.

In fact, Marc Choisy and Pejman Rohani at the University of Georgia at Athens in the US have shown that killing wild animals with a disease like flu could actually lead to more infected animals, not fewer.
