    RIGA, Jan. 10 (Xinhuanet) -- A Lithuanian official has cautioned that 

bird flu is posing an increasing threat to his country after its recent 

outbreak in Turkey.

    The epidemic is likely to spread in Europe when migratory birds return 

to their habitats there from north and central Africa in April and May, 

Tuesday's Lietuvos Zinios newspaper quoted Kazimieras Lukauskas, 

director of Lithuania's State Food and Veterinary Service, as saying.

    Once bird flu appears in Europe, it will definitely strike Lithuania and 

then will take only weeks to go rampant across the country, said the 

official.
