Bird flu fears spiral - It's not the year of the chicken for sure theaustralian.news.com.au January 22, 2004 FEARS over Asia's bird flu crisis spiralled today as worst-hit Vietnam admitted that nearly 900,000 chickens possibly exposed to the deadly virus were sold to the public, and international health experts scrambled to find a vaccine to protect people. Thailand - a major chicken exporter that's repeatedly insisted it is free of bird flu - said three people were being tested for the avian influenza and ordered a mass slaughter of fowl. The bird flu ravaging poultry farms in Asia has killed five people, all in Vietnam, and millions of chickens. Struggling to contain the epidemic, jittery governments have banned poultry imports from countries affected by the disease. Mainland China, which has not reported any cases, vowed to step up vigilance at its border with Vietnam. The World Health Organisation expressed "mounting concern" over the five human deaths and said it is working on a new vaccine to protect people from the avian flu. ==================================================================== Check out another article as well as a really gross picture english.aljazeera.net
