LONDON, Feb 13 (Reuters) - The H5NI bird flu viruses found in Britain and Hungary are "essentially identical" and the most likely transmission route was from poultry to poultry, Britain's deputy chief veterinarian Fred Landeg said on Tuesday.

The government said it had not found any evidence of illegal or unsafe movements of poultry products from Hungary to Britain and was still investigating all possible routes of transmission.
