New bird flu case
The deadly H5N1 bird flu virus has been detected in northern Thailand for the first time in 10 months, the agriculture minister said yesterday.
Laboratory tests on Sunday confirmed one chicken was infected with the virus after seven poultry deaths were reported in Sukhothai province last week, said Agriculture Minister Somsak Prisana-anantakul.
