More than 600 chickens in two villages in Banteay Meanchey province have been culled following the death of a girl from bird flu three weeks ago. The four-year-old died on July 20, only 10 days after showing symptoms of the disease, according to a joint statement from the Ministry of Health and World Health Organisation released on Friday. Officials are also attempting to control a separate outbreak in Takeo province.
