Two were found dead in the city of Hanover and Hameln district while the other two were killed in Schaumburg and Verden districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;These are the first positive tests in foxes in both Lower Saxony and in Germany,&#8221; the state&#8217;s Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this month, the World Organization for Animal Health reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/bnonews.com\/index.php\/2023\/03\/otter-sea-lions-and-red-foxes-test-positive-for-h5n1-bird-flu\/\">three red foxes were found dead<\/a> in a nature reserve near Congis-sur-Th\u00e9rouanne in France, northeast of Paris. A sample from one of the foxes \u2013 which were found near dead gulls \u2013 tested positive for H5N1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The global spread of H5N1 avian influenza clade 2.3.4.4b \u2013 and the recent spread to a growing number of mammals \u2013 has raised concern about the possibility of a future variant which could lead to human-to-human transmission. So far, only a few cases have been found in humans after contact with infected birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe global H5N1 situation is worrying given the wide spread of the virus in birds around the world and the increasing reports of cases in mammals, including in humans,\u201d Dr. Sylvie Briand, a WHO official, said on February 24. \u201cWHO takes the risk from this virus seriously and urges heightened vigilance from all countries.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four foxes in Germany have tested positive for H5N1 bird flu, local officials say, just weeks after red foxes in France succumbed to the same illness, which is affecting a growing number of mammals.
