"avian-flu"

Malaria, HIV and tuberculosis kill around 2 million people each year

The development came a day after the outbreak was confirmed at a farm in Kashima City of the southern Japanese prefecture of Saga.

The birds, 'California condors' are part of a population that moves throughout northern Arizona and southern Utah, including Grand Canyon National Park, the park service said

"Section 144 has been imposed in the affected area in the Radi area. A Rapid Response Team has been constituted to collect samples from poultry farms and shops," informed Jhalawar's Collector Ngikya Gohain.
