Posted on: Saturday, 22 October 2005, 15:37 CDT
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden's National Veterinary Institute said on Saturday a duck found dead east of the capital the day before tested positive for avian flu but that it was too early to say which strain of virus the bird had.
"The result of the virus tests which were carried out today on samples from ducks found in Eskilstuna show that one of them was infected with influenza," the institute said in a statement.
The institute is carrying out additional analysis and the results of the tests on whether the virus of the H5 type are due late Sunday afternoon.
