Also, 17 cars "laden" with poultry were stopped by the authorities in Al-Arish in North Sinai. Check out the map -- that's on the road to/from the Gaza strip. I sure hope that wasn't their destination....

Two with bird flu in Egypt
From correspondents in Egypt
March 31, 2007
TWO more children from impoverished southern Egypt have been infected with the deadly avian flu virus, raising to 31 the number of cases reported.
Ibrahim Mahmud Helmi, 4, from Qena and Mahmud Mohammed Shalabi from Sohag, both poor provinces in the Nile valley, were diagnosed with the flu and transferred to Cairo for treatment.
Their cases come hard on the heels of reports of two other children stricken on Tuesday, making for at least half a dozen infections of children in the south by the H5N1 virus in March.
Women and children have borne the brunt of the virus due to their role in taking care of domestic fowl.
Egypt is the hardest hit by the virus outside Asia.
The Government says it is conducting a vigorous campaign to combat the spread of the virus through vaccinations and raising awareness, but cases continue to appear.
So far 13 people have succumbed to the virus.Comment

This boy sounds like he is a brother of confirmed case Rehab Mahmoud Helmi Abul Magd, 6, from Qina.
I wonder if it's the same brother that was reported to be hospitalized on March 27 as a suspected case, or if there's another brother hospitalized, too? In that report the name given was just "Ahmed":Also the hospital of Nag Hamadi fevers yesterday detained, Ahmed - Rehab's brother, and her uncle's wife, Mona Hashem [Hashim], and its neighbour named Fouad, for their injury by symptoms similar to the bird flu.

Third Egyptian child tests positive for bird flu
Sat Mar 31, 2007 11:40 PM BST
CAIRO (Reuters) - A third Egyptian child has tested positive for the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus, bringing the number of human cases in Egypt to 32, state news agency MENA said on Saturday.
An official with the health ministry said the 4-year-old girl came from Qalyoubia province, north of Cairo, MENA said.
Earlier, the health ministry said a 4-year-old boy from Qena province, around 670 kilometres (416 miles) south of Cairo, and a 7-year-old boy from Sohag province, around 470 kilometres south of Cairo, had been infected with bird flu.
The 4-year-old girl was admitted to hospital on Friday, MENA said, while the two others were admitted on Thursday.
All three had been suffering from fevers and had been treated with the antiviral Tamiflu drug.
Egypt has the highest number of confirmed human bird flu cases outside Asia.
Thirteen Egyptians have died from bird flu since it first surfaced in the country's poultry a year ago. Most of those who fell ill were reported to have had contact with sick or dead household birds, primarily in northern Egypt.
On Tuesday two children tested positive for bird flu and are stable, according to Hassan al-Bushra, regional adviser for communicable disease surveillance for WHO.
Health experts fear the H5N1 virus could mutate into a form that passes easily from human to human, sparking a pandemic that could kill millions.

Novel Cleavage Site in Southern Egyptian H5N1 CasesOriginally posted by niman View Post
Recombinomics Commentary
March 31, 2007
US NAMRU-3 generated HA and NA sequences for the confirmed cases eartlier this week. The HA sequence for the third patient from Aswan (3F), A/Egypt/2616/NAMRU-3/2007 and Menia (5M), A/Egypt/2620/NAMRU-3 had the Mongolian HA cleavage site, GERRRRKR, as seen in the two earlier cases from Aswan (10F and 2M) (A/Egypt/2321/NAMRU-3/2007 and A/Egypt/2331), while the HA sequence from Qena (6F), A/Egypt/2621-NAMRU-3/2007, has the 3 BP deletion seen previously in the isolates from Beni Suef, A/Egypt/0636-NAMRU-3/2007 and Fayyoum, A/Egypt/1394/NAMRU-3/2007.
Similarly the NA sequences from all three isolates were similar to the previously described four isolates from central and southern Egypt. However, the new sequences showed the same segregation pattern as the HA sequences, indicating the differences were due to recombination and not reassortment in the HA and NA sequences.
The matches suggest that the infection from the two groups of patients are coming from common sources.
