PHNOM PENH, Cambodia - A Cambodian village where 1,200 ducks dropped dead in a new outbreak of bird flu will be closely monitored for 30 days to prevent the disease from spreading, an official said Sunday.
He said another 400 ducks were killed by health authorities, part of the 1,600 on the small village farm where the outbreak began.
Some of the affected ducks began falling sick on Aug. 2, and more than 1,000 of them dropped dead in following days.
Ly Sovann, director of the Health Ministry‘s disease surveillance bureau, said Sunday there are no signs yet that any villagers were infected by the virus.
