Bird flu in China

China's chief veterinary officer with the Ministry of Agriculture, Jia Youling, displays Friday October 28 a map showing migrations routes for wild birds that have been found to carry bird flu. The routes cover most of China making it easy for wild birds to infect domestic fowl. China has reported no human cases of bird flu, but scientists say the country could potentially be a huge incubator for the disease because of its large poultry industry and vast territory. [AP]
