Summary:
A strain of the disease
responsible for killing nearly two thirds of the UK's greenfinch population has
spread to myna birds in Pakistan. In 2011, the disease was discovered to have
reached European finch populations. Now it has been found in an entirely
separate songbird species -- the common myna, native to India and one of the
world's most invasive species. Although it is not generally fatal to them, they
may pass it on to other species.
