It has been reported that cases of the bird flu have been recorded in India. This strain has been identified as H5N1 which has recently been reported in China and Vietnam. Authorities are stressing caution as this strain currently has no viable treatment.
Plans to destroy chicken, eggs, and feed are being developed to help contain the avian flu from spreading further across India and nearby countries. Pursuant to UN notification of the resurgence of the bird flu, affected areas are taking steps to identify and control the processing of birds and containment of infected individuals.
To date, no direct correlation has been made between the cases reported in China and Vietnam with the recent outbreak in India. However, because of the severity of this strain and the lack of treatment options, global markets are urged to be aware of the potential risk.
