Source of sick China chickens sought

 

Tokyo has asked Beijing to identify the farm that

shipped chicken to Japan infected with Newcastle

disease and verify whether poultry at the farm has

been infected with the virus, the farm ministry said

Wednesday.

 

The Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry said

it detected the disease Sunday in chicken imports from

China.

 

The disease, which can cause conjunctivitis in humans,

can be prevented by vaccinating poultry.

 

Newcastle disease was also discovered in chicken

imported from China in July, but the farm that was the

source of the virus could not be determined.

 

In Japan, the disease was found in Nagano Prefecture

in June and in Kagoshima Prefecture in September.
