Poultry outbreaks in Vietnam and human cases in Indonesia have been fairly regular events in 2007, with reports every few weeks at least. More from the latest poultry outbreak in Vietnam...
From Reuters:
"The outbreak of H5N1 in the northern province of Thai Nguyen and Dong Thap to the south brought to four the number of provinces on the government's current bird flu watchlist.
Vietnam has 64 provinces.
A total of 150 ducks and 35 chickens fell sick on Wednesday in Thai Nguyen, 80 km (50 miles) north of Hanoi, and tests have confirmed they had the H5N1 virus, the ministry's Animal Health Department said in a report.
The virus also struck a farm in the southern Mekong delta province of Dong Thap where 250 chickens were found dead on Sunday, it said."
