China has reported its first case of bird flu for 18 months, in southern city of Shenzhen. Preliminary tests on a 39-year-old man admitted to hospital with pneumonia proved positive for the virus. Postive tests on a dead market chicken last week prompted nearby Hong Kong’s government to issue an alert. Authorities culled 17000 chickens after three birds were confirmed to have died from the H5N1 bird flu strain.
