BIRD FLU SPREADING AT ALARMING RATE WORLDWIDE AMONG WILD BIRDS AND POULTRY LIVESTOCK

NYTIMES:

India’s third outbreak of avian flu among poultry is the worst it has faced, the World Health Organization said.

The chief minister of West Bengal State, which is trying to cull 400,000 birds, called the virus’s spread “alarming.”

New outbreaks were also reported this week in Iran and Ukraine.
