"Ha Noi — Northern Cao Bang Province bordering China re-entered the black list of provinces infected by bird flu this year as test results on a batch of dead birds in the province proved H5N1 positive, according to the Animal Health Department.

Eighty nine chickens and ducks died last Saturday at the farm of Nong Cong Hoan in Ban Loc Village, Kim Dong Commune of Thach An District near the border with China’s Guangxi Province.

Test results by the Ha Noi-based Animal Health and Diagnosis Centre on Monday found H5N1 virus in the dead poultry, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development’s Animal Health Department confirmed yesterday.
During the peak period when avian flu struck the country in early June this year, 18 cities and provinces were infected with the outbreak, including Cao Bang."
