The deadly bird flu virus has been found in the Chinese region of Tibet, the director general of the world animal health body OIE said on Wednesday.
“We just received the information that bird flu has been detected in Tibet,” OIE director-general Bernard Vallat told Reuters.
He said virus was likely the H5N1 strain that has swept across large parts of Asia, killing more than 50 people in the region, mostly in Vietnam, and that 133 animals had been infected.
