New Year, New Outbreaks
Vietnam
Ducks raised at a farm in Ha Tay province, near Hanoi, swim on Jan. 9, 2007, despite a government ban on restocking waterfowl in an effort to prevent bird flu from spreading. Some 30,000 birds died or were culled in three southern Vietnamese provinces last month in the country's first reported bird flu outbreaks among poultry in a year. Experts fear that the virus may spread to other countries soon.
