Ca Mau province, Vietnam?s south*ernmost, has reported an out*break of bird flu, the first since de*claring it was free of the disease before the Lunar New Year in mid-February.
More than 100 ducks had died of the disease in Khanh Binh Dong com*mune in Tran Van Thoi district Friday, deputy head of the pro*vince administration, Pham Thanh Tuoi, said.

The ducks had not been vaccinated, he added.


All poultry in the infected area have been killed, and the administration has asked authorities to step up surveillance to prevent the disease from recurring.
