Weeks have passed since Korea was first hit with a bird flu outbreak that has since led
to the culling of millions of ducks and chickens. The issue had dropped out of the headlines
just days before... but concerns are mounting that quarantine efforts have failed to completely
eradicate the virus. Korea's agriculture ministry said Sunday...
that poultry are being culled at a farm owned by the National Institute of Animal Science
in South Chungcheongnam-do province,... after a duck was confirmed to have died from the
H-5-N-8 strain of the virus. This isn't the only case,... as reports of
another outbreak in the nation's southwestern South Jeollanam-do province led to the culling
of 70-thousand birds. The total number of birds destroyed from this
year's outbreak now stands at above six-and-a-half million.
