Thai Woman Has Bird Flu
Thailand has confirmed another human case of bird flu, as regional experts met in Australia to discuss the virus.
Health officials said a 50-year-old woman near Bangkok had tested positive for the deadly H5N1 strain, the third human case in Thailand this month.
“She became infected while cleaning the area where her backyard chickens live,” a government health official said.
Representatives from 21 nations congregated in Brisbane to discuss how to control the spread of the disease.
The delegates – all from Asia-Pacific states – will be aiming to agree on co-ordination to prevent an outbreak among humans from skipping across borders in the region.
