Bird flu breaks out again in Viet Nam
Wednesday, 4 November 2009
Avian flu (A/H5N1) has broken out in Vit Nam’s Dien Bien Province, killing flocks of poultry in nine households.
Health experts are now worried about the risk of the disease mutating with swine flu (A/H1N1) and creating a double whammy effect – for animals and people.
They said the situation could become more serious if the smuggling of pigs, cattle and poultry was not stopped. Border localities are now cracking down on the practice.
