First Outbreak of Usutu Virus in Germany
10,000 Birds
FEBRUARY 5, 2012

It subsequently spread to Budapest/ Hungary (2005, 2006), Zürich/ Switzerland (2006), and north-east Italy (2008/2009). I frequently observed Blackbirds walking on the ground like rodents, even ducking under low tufts of grass.
