The largest ever outbreak of bird flu continues to cause havoc across Scotland and the rest of the UK. And now the virus is spilling over into mammals, including otters and foxes.
Avian influenza - better known as bird flu - has mutated, spreading to other animals, with public health bosses warning the mutation could see a jump to humans.
Figures released by the BBC revealed that the virus has led to the death of 208 million birds worldwide, with at least 200 recorded cases in mammals. And now, as the virus spreads and mutates, there will be more targeted surveillance and testing of both animals and humans across the UK who have been exposed.
