Bird Flu Update: Things may be slowing down in Turkey, but across the border, Iraq has its first case:
"We regretfully announce that the first case of bird flu has appeared in Iraq,' Iraqi Health Minister Abdel Mutalib Mohammed told reporters.
World Health Organization officials confirmed the finding, though it was not immediately clear how the girl, Shangen Abdul Qader, who died Jan. 17 in the northern Kurdish town of Raniya, contracted the disease.
....Health officials do not yet know how the girl contracted the virus, but just north of Raniya is a reservoir used as a stopover by migratory birds from Turkey, where at least 21 cases of H5N1 have been recorded. posted by Sydney on
