However around 290 people have died of the human form of avian flu since 2003, according to the World Health Organisation.

The Romanian case is the first detection of the highly avian influenza H5N1 in the European Union in a year.

The last case, confirmed in March 2009, was discovered in a wild duck shot during a hunt near Starnberg, in Bavaria, southern Germany.

On Sunday at least 117,000 chickens were destroyed in northern Bangladesh after an avian flu outbreak on one of the country's largest poultry farms.
