Niger reports spread of bird flu
Niger has reportedly become the third African nation to report confirmed cases of the deadly strain of avian flu.
The World Organization for Animal Health says test results have confirmed several cases of the H5N1 virus in Niger, one of the world's poorest nations, the BBC reported Monday. Niger shares a long border with Nigeria, where bird flu has killed thousands of chickens.
Although no human cases of the H5N1 bird flu strain have yet been found in Africa, the World Health Organization is warning of such a disaster, the BBC said.
