This is such a shocking newso

I pray that a remedy is found quickly before it gets out of hand.
Africa don't have the resources to deal with such epidemics.

That they will change the story years later and say BIRD FLU came from Africa (Just like the did with AIDS)

A large-scale cull is being planned at a Nigerian farm where thousands of chickens have died from bird flu.
A team of Nigerian experts is heading for the farm - owned by Sports Minister Saidu Balarabe Sambawa - in northern Kaduna state to carry out the cull.

Agriculture Minister Adamu Bello says all birds at any farm where suspicious deaths have occurred will be culled.

This is the first confirmed case of H5N1 bird flu in Africa, and experts fear it could spread rapidly.

Nigerian farmers fear bird flu is spreading
By Estelle Shirbon

JAJI, Nigeria (Reuters) - Small poultry farmers in Nigeria close to where the deadly H5N1 avian flu virus was detected said on Thursday birds were dying in large numbers and they did not know why.

The west African state is the first country on the continent to report the virus that is endemic in poultry in parts of Asia and has killed at least 88 people since late 2003.

The unexplained poultry deaths raise the possibility that the virus has already spread from four big commercial farms to small farms and even households in Africa's most populous country, posing a greater threat to human health.

Mohammed Sanusi, a farmer with about 1,400 chickens kept outdoors about five km (3 miles) from Sambawa Farms in northern Nigeria where the H5N1 virus was detected, said between five and 10 chickens were dying every day.

"We are afraid that what happened at Sambawa Farms will happen here too. That's why we went to the vet to get medicine," said farmer Mohammed Sanusi, who is treating his birds with medicine for intestinal infections, not bird flu.

The Agriculture Ministry said 45,000 chickens had died at Sambawa Farms in Kaduna state, and confirmed cases of H5N1 had also been found at two farms in the neighbouring Kano state and at one farm in Plateau state, which also borders Kaduna.

The outbreak could have devastating consequences in Nigeria, where millions keep chickens in their backyards.

As if America is going to report that Chicken are killing people. I believe the disease spread by dropping.

I just hope they wont say it started in Africa like AIDS.

1. It will only be found where the diseased bird flew by.
2. It will become epidemic if a poultry owner everywhere buy a diseased Chicken to raise with clean ones.
