Japan reports ninth avian flu outbreak, culling 280,000 chickens and restricting poultry movement.
Japan has confirmed its ninth outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza this season at a Kyoto poultry farm, with genetic testing identifying the virus in about 280,000 chickens.
All birds at the farm will be culled and destroyed, while movement of poultry and eggs is restricted within a 3-kilometer radius and poultry products are banned from areas 3 to 10 kilometers away.
Disinfection efforts are underway, and an investigation is being conducted, with potential support from national experts.
The avian flu season, running from autumn to spring, has already led to the culling of nearly 2.4 million chickens since the first case was detected in Hokkaido on October 22.
