Bird flu emerges in Nakhon Sawan
(BangkokPost.com) – The H5N1 bird flu virus has been detected in Nakhon Sawan province, according to Department of Livestock official Somboon Srisuthep - the first time in 10 months the disease has hit in Thailand.
Authorities suspected the presence of the H5N1 virus at a farm in Nakhon Sawan’s Chumsaeng district after thousands of chickens were found dead. A lab test conducted in Phitsanulok confirmed the chickens had died of the avian flu.
Officials have now ordered a quarantine of all avian livestock and requested the blanket disinfection of all poultry farms in the area within a five-kilometre radius of the infected farm.
The Nakhon Sawan Department of Livestock has already issued a warning to poultry farmers and prohibited the movement of live poultry nationwide. Consumers were also warned to eat only properly cooked chicken meat.

Ja de kalder det så et nyt udbrud...
Det er det måske også, men bare i en størelse de ikke lige kunne holde skjult..
Jeg tror ikke Thailand kommer af med fugle influenzaen, før de kapitulerer og beder om bistand ude fra.. Internt i landet er der alt for mange milliarder thb på spil.
Gad vidst om det er derfor vi ingen svaler har i år.. De burde være her nu..
