The lessons from the 2003 Dutch bird flu outbreak

While the bird flu virus even takes human lives in Asia, the background reportage program Eòrpa from the Scottish BBC report about the way the Dutch successfully managed to fight the virus in 2003.

Dutch poultry farmers are terrified that Bird flu will pop up again. A Dutch bird flu specialist and adviser of the European commission gives his view on the matter and a virus specialist gives insight in the dangers for humans.

A Dutch poultry farmer that was one of the first that saw all his chickens die in a few hours, explains what it meant for him and his family. A new outbreak of bird flu will definitely mean bankruptcy for many Dutch poultry farmers.

For this reportage Featurez did the research, set-up and planning of the filming, booked a rental van and di the driving, accompanied the filming, did the interviews and translations.
