Thailand Detects 2nd Bird-Flu Outbreak in Less Than Two Weeks

July 22 (Bloomberg)

-- Thailand found a strain of bird flu deadly to humans, the nation's second outbreak in less than two weeks, after the government this month confirmed a resurgence of the illness among poultry.

Chicken in Kamphaeng Phet province, 360 kilometers (217 miles) north of Bangkok, tested positive for the H5N1 virus on July 21, the Livestock Department said on its Web site. The agency on July 11 reported bird flu in Suphan Buri province, about 100 kilometers west of Bangkok, its first finding of the virus since April.
