Adjust font size:

In migratory birds in western Qinghai Province and Tibet Autonomous Region the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) confirmed Wednesday that a new outbreak of H5N1 bird flu had been discovered. 

The outbreak in Tibet's Nagqu Prefecture and Qinghai's Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture was discovered on the same migratory route as another occurrence in Yushu of Qinghai which was reported earlier this month.

 

A total of 399 wild birds had been found dead in the two areas, the ministry said, and observed that all were in the wild areas where few people lived and no poultry was raised.

 

Local governments have disinfected the areas where the dead birds were found and no domestic poultry has been affected.
