H5N1 confirmed in Israel

JERUSALEM — The Israeli Health Ministry confirmed Friday that three farm workers were taken to hospitals to be tested for exposure to bird flu. Results on blood taken from the workers could come later tonight or tomorrow, an Israeli official said. The possible human infections came as tests showed the deadly H5N1 bird flu was likely responsible for killing thousands of turkeys in various farming communities in the Negev Desert. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,188185,00.html
