PARIS (Reuters) – Taiwan has reported a first farm-level outbreak of the severe H5N1 strain of avian influenza, or bird flu, the Paris-based World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) said on Friday.
The virus killed 214 ducks, with the rest of the flock of over 5,000 birds slaughtered, WOAH said, citing a report from the Taiwanese authorities.
