Livestock officials in Bangladesh yesterday announced an H5N1 avian
influenza outbreak at a commercial poultry farm in Dhaka division,
according to their report to the World Organization for Animal Health
(OIE). The outbreak, which began on Oct 23, killed 156 of 4,191
susceptible birds, and the remaining ones were culled to curb the spread
of the virus. Officials haven't yet determined how the flocks were
infected. The country's last H5N1 outbreak occurred in April, when the
virus struck nine poultry farms in Dhaka, Khulna, and Rajshahi
divisions.
