New Delhi, Jul 25: India declared a fresh outbreak of avian influenza among poultry, the first this year, but a senior official said on Wednesday July 25, authorities were yet to confirm if it was the highly pathogenic H5N1 strain.

"We have avian influenza," Upma Chawdhry, joint secretary of the Union Animal Husbandry Department, told Reuters.

The outbreak was located in a small farm in Manipur where 133 chickens out of 144 suddenly died this month, Chawdhry said.

"The state government has been informed and asked to start the control and containment operations," she said.
