As the highly pathogenic H5N6 bird flu is sweeping South Korea, other strains of the disease have also been detected in wild birds.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs said on Tuesday that feces of wild birds in Sacheon, South Gyeongsang Province, were confirmed to have carried the H7N7 strain of avian influenza(AI).

The confirmation comes after another H7 strain of bird flu, H7N2, was detected in wild bird feces in Buan County, North Jeolla Province, on December 17th.

The ministry said both H7 strains were not highly contagious and would not cause a serious problem.

However, it is known to be looking into the possibility that the highly pathogenic H7N9 strain will spread in the country. H7N9 infected 808 people in Hong Kong and Canada in recent years, killing 324 people.:tiphat:http://world.kbs.co.kr/english/news/...&current_page=

The 'H7 type' AI virus detected in the migratory birds of the Nakdong River in Busan was confirmed to be low-pathogenic.

The city of Busan has been informed by the National Institute of Environmental Economics on Tuesday of the final results of the H7N7 strain of AI virus, which was found on the southern side of the Ulsuk-do Ecological Park on the 17th.

According to the city, H7N7 virus was detected in Sacheon, Gyeongnam, and Jeju, but all of them were found to be pathogenic.

A city official said, "In the case of low-pathogenic AI, symptoms are weak and poultry deaths do not occur, so it is treated as a general disease." "The city is planning to install a barrier on poultry farms within 10 km of the discovery site and thoroughly disinfect" .

On the other hand, H5N6 type highly pathogenic AI was found in Eumsukdo Island in Saha-gu and Sangrak Ecological Park in Sasang-gu in late December of last year.
