The bird flu epidemic has relapsed in the Mekong Delta province of Dong Thap, the Veterinary Bureau under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development announced Sunday.
Three hundred fifty chickens out of 500 from a breeding site in Chau Thanh District's Tan Nhuan Dong Commune have died due to causes associated with the H5N1 virus.
Local authorities said the provinces of Tra Vinh and Dong Thap are still in the midst of a 21-day period before they can be declared epidemic-free.
In related news, blue ear pig disease has also relapsed in over 11 provinces nationwide.
