Recent cases believed to have come from migratory birds
There are currently no cases of avian influenza on the Isle of Man but there's a risk of further outbreaks in future.
That's been confirmed by the Island's chief veterinary officer Amy Beckett.
Several outbreaks of the virus are currently being dealt with in the UK which could easily be spread here by wild birds.
Recent cases are believed to have been brought in by migratory birds between the months of November and February:


'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
Manx Radio to 'formally investigate' complaint from veteran broadcaster
Temporary ambulance station established at Castletown Coastguard Station
Owners advised to keep pets out of riverĀ
