Bird flu hits southernmost province
Published: 02/02/2009 05:00
An outbreak of bird flu has swept through a commune in the southernmost province of Ca Mau forcing authorities to cull a flock of about 700 ducks. |
Duong Van Khoa, head of Tran Van Thoi District Veterinary Station, Monday said many ducks had died last Thursday from the symptoms of bird flu. Tests done on the dead birds were positive for the H5N1 virus A, he said. Local authorities immediately decided to cull the entire flock and spray decontaminants in the surrounding areas. This is the first bird flu outbreak to occur this year in Ca Mau Province. Human bird-flu infections may rise in Asia as people handle more poultry for Lunar New Year celebrations, according to a United Nations veterinarian who tracks the virus in birds.
