A bird flu epidemic has swept through two communes in the southernmost province of Ca Mau, forcing authorities to destroy more than 3,000 ducks.

An official from the provincial Bird Flu Prevention Committee said after the virus broke out in the flock belonging to Nguyen Van Dong in Khanh Binh Commune late last month, the disease spread to nine more household duck flocks in Khanh Binh and Khanh Binh Dong communes.

Five out of nine hamlets in Khanh Binh have been infected, with hundreds of ducks in three Khanh Binh Dong households tested positive to the H5N1A virus.

The outbreak is the first this year in Ca Mau Province.
