Bird flu recurs in 3rd province in Vietnam this year
Last updated: 2/6/2012 15:10


The Mekong Delta province of Soc Trang has become the third province in Vietnam to report bird flu outbreak this year, the Department of Animal Health reported Sunday.

The agency made the statement just over two months after announcing that the epidemic had been curbed, along with foot-and-mouth disease in cattle.

According to the department, 90 chickens in Soc Trang?s My Xuyen District have become ill or have died, adding that it has provided two million doses of the bird flu vaccine to the province in order to stop the recurrence from spreading.

Last week, central provinces of Thanh Hoa and Quang Tri also reported hundreds of cases of sick or dead fowl.

Health experts warned there is a high likelihood the disease will spread widely in the near future because the A/H5N1 virus in northern Vietnam has mutated and effective vaccines are not yet available...
