[h=1]7th bird flu case at Kumamoto farm[/h] 3:02 am, December 28, 2016

Jiji Press KUMAMOTO (Jiji Press) ? An outbreak of highly pathogenic H5 avian influenza has been confirmed at a poultry farm in Nankan in Kumamoto Prefecture, the prefectural government said Tuesday.
Authorities will cull about 107,000 chickens raised at the farm. This is the seventh bird flu case at a Japanese farm this winter, following the six cases in Niigata, Aomori, Hokkaido and Miyazaki prefectures.
About 50 chickens were found dead at the Nankan farm Monday afternoon, according to Kumamoto officials. Genetic tests were conducted after simple tests found five dead chickens positive for bird flu.
Transfers of chickens and eggs are restricted in areas near the farm. Vehicle disinfection measures have been introduced on main roads leading to the facility.
If it is judged that the flu will not spread, the restrictions on chicken and egg transfers will be lifted in an area 3-10 kilometers from the farm as early as 10 days after the culling and the disinfection at the farm.
The restrictions covering the 3-kilometer radius from the farm will be removed 11 days later at the earliest.
The agriculture ministry and other sources said there has been no report of human bird flu infection through the consumption of poultry meat or eggs in Japan.:tiphat:http://the-japan-news.com/news/article/0003428243
