Indonesia reports a drop in bird flu cases
December 22nd, 2006
A more aggressive way of figthing the bird flu virus is believed to have caused the remarkable decline in bird flu cases detected across Indonesia in the last three months. The World Health Organization, however, warns that the good news should be taken lightly, as it does not yet indicate a trend. The country has used a more agressive vaccination policy, as well as more cullings in the areas where the virus was detected. The government now states that 14 of its 33 provinces show no presence of the highly pathogenic virus in their poultry stocks
