(Xinhua)
Updated: 2005-11-08 22:39 The fight against bird flu is
serious, said Chinese Agriculture Minister Du Qinglin Tuesday. He also demanded
the agricultural departments take all measures to prevent the expansion of bird
flu.
Du said, bird flu has not been curbed in the whole world, and in some
nations, the disease was still developing. Governments of all nations and
international organizations paid great attention to the prevention of the
disease. So far the disease was reported in 24 nations and regions and expected
to expand.
The disease occurred in four Chinese provinces and regions since October. It
was already brought under control in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Anhui
and Hunan provinces. However it's still hard to control in Liaoning Province.
Du said the disease can be prevented and controlled, but can not be delayed.
