Iran bird flu measures caused by critical neighbours
July 3rd, 2006
The head of Iran’s Veterinary Organization, Hussein Hassani, announced on Sunday that the harsh measures taken by the institution in the country were a following of the critical avian influenza conditions from the neighbouring countries. He said the exterminations were mostly because Iran does not have enough information from its neighbours who are faced with the disease, according to international news agencies reports. Hassani also reassured the people of Iran that no sign of the illness had yet been witnessed in the country and that the institution he is running is prepared to take all necessary measures against suspected cases.
