U.S. Embassy Dhaka released the following Warden Message on March 23:
The Bangladesh Government has confirmed that there has been an outbreak of avian influenza in Savar, on the outskirts of Dhaka. The government announced that they will cull poultry in that area. There are no reported cases of human illness.
The U.S. Embassy reminds all citizens that the U.S. Department of State has a website on avian influenza, at http://www.travel.state.gov/travel/tips/health/health_1181.html. We encourage Americans resident in Bangladesh to familiarize themselves with this fact sheet, and use the links to other U.S. Government websites for more information.
