The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry said on Thursday (Dec. 21) that it had confirmed a fourth case of the highly pathogenic avian influenza in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do.
“The deaths of ducks in Asan, which was reported on Dec. 11, turned out to be related to avian influenza after testing,” a ministry official said. “However, it remains unclear whether it was the virulent H5N1 virus.”
The ministry said that it will cull around 23,000 poultry within a 3-kilometer radius of the area in an effort to prevent the spread of the potentially deadly disease.
It is the second time for poultry in the area to be infected following a similar outbreak in February 2004.
Quarantine officials are conducting epidemiological tests to discover the cause of the latest infection.
