Yes, this is the second time I have read this reported. I believe earlier last week it was reported.
TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada said on Thursday it had found bird flu on a seventh commercial chicken farm in British Columbia and warned it could not rule out uncovering more cases in the province.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said the farm was within a control area where the virus was first discovered in Canada in February, but the it was not of same virulent strain that killed scores of people and wiped out millions of poultry in Asia.
"The risk to human health remains low," the agency said in a statement. The farm's flock has already been slaughtered.
It quarantined the Fraser Valley farm on Monday, and has also quarantined another farm in the same area where it is still doing tests.
The virus has been confirmed on seven commercial farms and in three noncommercial flocks in British Columbia, the food inspection agency said. Most are within the high-risk five-kilometer radius of where the first case of the disease was discovered.
"Given the highly contagious nature of the disease the possibility of finding further cases cannot be excluded," the agency said.
Officials have already imposed bans on transporting chickens through and out of the high risk Fraser Valley area, but British Columbia is not a major international exporter of poultry products.
