    The disease is thought to have spread down the country from the North Island.

    Nearly 1000 birds have died at wastewater treatment plants in Canterbury after an outbreak of botulism.

    Hundreds of waterfowl including ducks, teal and geese have been found dead at a treatment plant in Kaiapoi, with more discovered at other sites in Waimakariri and Christchurch.
