SE Asia Remains Biggest Bird Flu Danger
SE Asia Remains Biggest Bird Flu Danger
Quote:
MANILA (Reuters) - The World Health Organisation said on Monday it was concerned that European countries facing the spread of bird flu would divert funding and attention away from Southeast Asia, the most likely epicentre of a human pandemic.
Officials in Europe are braced for an outbreak of the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu, which has killed more than 60 people in Asia since 2003, after tests confirmed the disease in poultry in Romania and Turkey.
No human cases have been reported in Europe.
