outbreak of bird flu in Bogazkoy village of Gercus township in

including Ruzgarli and Aydinli villages. Teams from the 
Provincial Health and Agricultural Departments are working in 
the region, while authorities have banned all movement and

virus was the H5N1 strain [Note: The strain has been confirmed 
to be H5N1. End note]. Three children with flu-like symptoms, 
who were taken to Dicle University Hospital in Diyarbakir for 
observation, have been sent back to Bogazkoy village, and their 
blood samples were sent to Ankara for testing.
