PARIS, Sept 22 (Reuters) – Poland has reported an outbreak of highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu on two poultry farms in the north of the country, the World Organisation for Animal Health said on Monday, as Europe faces a seasonal upturn in the deadly disease.

The virus was detected on a goose farm and a turkey farm in the town of Susz, and killed around 4,000 birds, the Paris-based WOAH said, citing a report from the Polish authorities.

Poland last week signed an agreement with China with the aim of restarting poultry trade halted since a previous wave of bird flu in the past year.
