Concern after swan deaths at Fendrod Lake amid avian flu fears

The authority said it has already collected a number of dead birds from the site and will continue to monitor the situation closely.

Residents are being urged not to approach or touch any dead swans they may see. Instead, they should report them directly to Defra via the government’s online service: Report dead wild birds.

🐦 How to report bird flu concerns

Do not touch dead birds
Avian flu can spread through contact — always avoid handling carcasses.

Report sightings
Use the official Defra service to report dead swans, geese, or other wild birds: gov.uk/guidance/report-dead-wild-birds.

Stay vigilant
Watch for unusual bird deaths in your area and alert authorities promptly.

Follow council updates
Local councils and Natural Resources Wales provide guidance and issue alerts when risks increase.

Protect domestic flocks
Keep poultry and pet birds away from wild waterfowl and follow biosecurity advice.

A council spokesperson said:

“We have had reports in recent days of a number of deaths of swans at Fendrod Lake, potentially due to avian flu. If you see a dead swan, please don’t approach or touch it. Instead report it to Defra. We have collected a number of dead swans and will continue to monitor the issue.”

The warning comes after recent confirmed cases of bird flu elsewhere in South West Wales. Earlier this month, Carmarthenshire Council confirmed an outbreak in the Pontyberem area, while Pembrokeshire Council officers visited homes near Milford Haven following a separate case.

Natural Resources Wales and local councils continue to advise the public to remain vigilant, avoid contact with sick or dead birds, and follow official guidance to reduce the risk of spreading the disease.

Abstract
Airborne transmission is an essential mode of infection and spread of influenza viruses among humans. However, most studies use liquid inoculum for virus infection. To better replicate natural airborne infections in vitro, we generated a calm-aerosol settling chamber system designed to examine the aerosol infectivity of influenza viruses in different cell types. Aerosol inoculation was characterized for multiple influenza A virus (FLUAV) subtypes, including a pandemic 2009 H1N1, a seasonal swine H3N2, and an avian H9N2 using this exposure system. While each FLUAV strain displayed high infectivity within MDCK cells via liquid inoculation, differences in infectivity were observed during airborne inoculation. This was further observed in recently developed immortalized differentiated human airway epithelial cells (BCi-NS1.1) cultured in an air-liquid interface. The airborne infectious dose 50 for each virus was based on the exposure dose per well. Our findings indicate that this system has the potential to enhance our understanding of the factors influencing influenza transmission via the airborne route. This could be invaluable for conducting risk assessments, potentially reducing the reliance on extensive and costly in vivo animal studies.
