28.11, bird flu

South Korea: the farm ministry announced that it had found a second suspected case of highly pathogenic bird flu at a poultry farm, three days after it had its first outbreak in three years of the H5N1 strain. The ministry said the second suspected case was at a poultry farm near where the first case had been found and that it was checking to see if the virus has spread through the country. The strain had been found at two nearby poultry farms close to Iksan, about 170 km south of Seoul. South Korea will cull over half a million fowl in a bid to prevent the spread of the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu, having already killed 150,000 chickens near farms where the virus was found.
