Mexico controls minor bird flu outbreak
This is moving fast now. According to this report it is 'completely put under control'--they have culled five million, that doesn't seem under control to me, it seems out of control.
Mexico city (VNA) - A small bird flu outbreak in Mexican central state of Queretaro has been completely put under control, according to the state's Agricultural Development Service (SEDA).
SEDA's director Hector Lugo affirmed that after finding many fowls in 18 big farms infected with the bird flu virus, local veterinarians have culled five million fowls that have high risk of infection, separated 1.7 million chickens and vaccinated 12 million others in the nearby farms.
The director on August 10 confirmed that Queretaro has completely contained the disease that was caused by the common virus, which is not as dangerous as H5N1.
Another bird flu outbreak occurred in the country's northwestern state of Durango in March, but caused minor problems as the state had taken preventive measures to control the disease.-
