South Africa reported an outbreak of highly pathogenic H5N2 bird flu on a farm in the eastern part of the country, the Paris-based World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) said on Monday, citing a report from local authorities.
Some 58 ‘domestic birds’ of a total flock of 200 were found dead of the highly contagious virus, the report said, without giving additional details on the type of birds, according to Reuters.
