In 2015, 11 dead mute swans were submitted to the Dutch Wildlife Health Centre (DWHC) for post-mortem investigation. Whilst the cause of death of these birds varied, they were all negative for avian influenza virus.
The DWHC will continue to monitor the health status, and in particular, the occurrence of toxoplasmosis in the Dutch squirrel population and you can help by reporting finding a dead squirrel via the submission form on our website.
