Bird flu again detected in Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR — A recent discovery of bird flu among some 200 poultry has dashed Malaysia's hope of declaring the country free of the disease, the Veterinary Services Department said Tuesday.
The department had been expected to make the much-awaited announcement this week. It has been more than 21 days since the last case of the H5N1 strain of the virus was detected on Oct 10. The 21-day period has been set as the criteria by the World Organization for Animal Health. (Kyodo News)
