PYONGYANG, May 12 (Xinhua) -- A highly accurate kit for testing bird flu virus has been developed by a veterinary institute of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the official news agency KCNA said Monday.
The accuracy of the new kit is higher than the old ones, the KCNA quoted Kim Hyok, director of its producer, the Veterinary Institute under the Academy of Agricultural Science, as saying.
The kit is now in use at several epizootic prevention centers and poultry farms, it added.
