China warns of more bird flu
2 hours, 32 minutes ago

China warned it faced the danger of more outbreaks of bird flu, hours after the nation reported its 10th human fatality from the virus.

Vice agriculture minister Yin Chengjie told reporters the upcoming bird migratory season and warmer weather posed particular dangers for China.

"We are coming into a period where the bird flu will be highly transmissible. As the weather warms up, more wild birds will be migrating and it will be easier for the bird flu to be transmitted to a wider area," Yin said.

On the positive side, Yin said 33 outbreaks of bird flu among poultry reported in China since last year had been "eradicated and effectively controlled".

China had previously reported 34 outbreaks, with the latest one in the eastern province of Anhui on February 25. The government normally reports when an outbreak has been contained but has not yet given the all-clear to the Anhui one.

Yin's comments came shortly after the health ministry said a nine-year-old girl had died of the bird flu in the eastern province of Zhejiang on Monday, marking China's 10th reported human death from the virus.
