China alert for spring bird flu
China could suffer a "massive" outbreak of bird flu this spring, the Chinese agriculture minister has said.
The minister, Du Qinglin, was speaking to parliamentarians after China reported two new human cases of the potentially lethal H5N1 strain.
Officials are worried that wild birds will infect farm poultry as they return from their winter migration.
"We must remain on a high-level alert in all areas ... and step up prevention and control work," the minister said.
"The possibility of a massive bird flu outbreak cannot be ruled out," Mr Du said in a briefing to MPs.

Strangely, this news story was just a side note on BBC's Asia-Pacific news section. I guess until somebody actually dies, it's of no real
importance...
