New spread of bird flu, foot and mouth
SOUTH Korea confirmed three new cases of bird flu yesterday as the outbreak, which began last month, further hit farmers who are also battling the nation's worst-ever outbreak of foot and mouth disease.
The agriculture ministry confirmed three new cases of the highly contagious virus at duck farms in the southwestern county of Yeongam, bringing the total number of cases since December 31 to seven.
At least 396000 chickens, ducks and other birds have been or will be culled, the agriculture ministry said on its website. - Sapa-AFP
