Korea claims bird flu identification
North Korea today said its scientists had developed a method of identifying all types of bird flu viruses as the country stepped up a nationwide campaign against the deadly disease
Researchers at the cell-and-gene branch of the North’s State Academy of Sciences “solved scientific and technical problems arising in correctly identifying types of� bird flu viruses, the North’s Korean Central News Agency reported.
“When bird influenza broke out in some chicken farms in the spring this year, they confirmed in a matter of 10 days that the type of the virus was A (H7N7),� KCNA said.
“They, basing themselves on this research success, have deepened the research work to put the nationwide bird flu prevention campaign on a scientific basis.�
