KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 (Reuters) - Malaysia has detected the H5N1 bird flu virus in village chickens in central Selangor state, a health department official said on Thursday.
"When we sent our boys, we found bird flu in two village chickens but people said 60 chickens had died earlier," the official told Reuters. The authorities would cull chickens within a one-kilometre radius of the outbreak, he said.
