[h=1]South Korea detects bird flu in ducks on a poultry farm near Seoul[/h] On Monday, an agriculture ministry official told Reuters that South Korea has found bird flu in ducks on a poultry farm, 80 kilometers east of Seoul. It has come as the first discovery in four months and has been detected 30 days after the nation gained its bird flu-free status back.
The case included a strain called H5N8, which is the same kind of influenza that occurred in November 2015. The officials said that all 11,604 ducks present at the infected farm in the city of Icheon have been killed.
Sputnik News reported that the virus in avian influenza aka bird flu was detected for the first time in 1997 when it affected many people. Among the people who contracted the flu, six lost their lives. The respiratory disease can spread to humans from the bird species.
