Dominican officials detect second batch of avian flu cases

None

Dominican authorities killed more than a dozen chickens this week that tested positive for avian flu, a government official said Saturday.

 

The birds tested positive for H5N2, a strain of avian flu that poses no risk to humans, and were killed Friday in the eastern town of Higuey, where 115 other infected chickens were exterminated in early January.(AP)
