PYONGYANG, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) --
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has remained vigilant toward a possible outbreak of bird flu and has made several scientific achievements in preventing the disease, the official KCNA news agency said Monday.
DPRK scientists have developed some methods for quickly differentiating the subtypes of bird flu, which may be helpful in keeping bird flu from spreading, the KCNA said.
The DPRK has taken measures to prevent avian flu from spreading since April.
So far about 200,000 farm birds have been killed since bird flu broke out in March 2005 in the country.
