ljubljana (reuters) - slovenia became the latest european union country to detect h5n1 bird flu and others awaited results on thursday as an eu medical expert said the virus was likely to spread further.

　　the virus was first confirmed in the european union on saturday, when greece and italy said they had found it in wild swans. austria and germany reported cases on tuesday.

　　"of course we are worried and we have to get used to the fact that avian flu is now spreading within the european union," zsuzsanna jakab, head of the eu's stockholm-based european center for disease prevention and control (ecdc), told reuters television.

　　"and i'm sure it will also spread to other countries beyond these five."

　　hungary was awaiting results from a specialist laboratory in britain to determine whether the h5 virus detected in three dead wild swans on wednesday was in fact the h5n1 strain of h5. if confirmed, it would be the country's first case.

　　other so far uninfected countries such as sweden, slovakia and the czech republic carried out tests but all results were negative.

　　slovenia was testing for h5n1 in another three dead swans in which h5 had been found, while germany discovered 10 more h5n1 cases, greece detected an additional two and austria also reported one more.
