Bird Flu Update: The virus has now spread to African birds:
'What is most important now is not how it got into Nigeria but how it can be prevented from leaving Nigeria,' said Associate Professor Phil Hockey, ornithologist at the Percy FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology in Cape Town.
'The prospect of bird flu loose in sub-Saharan Africa is a scary one because of the way that human and domestic bird populations are so closely intermingled,' he told Reuters.
Given the free-wheeling, migratory nature of birds, it's probably not possible to prevent it from spreading in the bird population. posted by Sydney on
