BANGKOK(曼谷): Asia's bird flu epidemic(传染病), which has killed millions of chickens and at least 22 people, is under control(控制)although the terrible virus(病毒)might stay for months, the head of the world animal health body(组织)said on Friday.

"Things now are improving in all infected(感染的)countries," said Bernard Vallat, head of the Paris-based World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). "The epidemic is very much under control."

Outbreaks(爆发)of bird flu in Europe and the United States took six months to bring under control, so Vallat warned Asian countries that the highly dangerous H5N1 birdflu kind probably would be around for months.

"To be sure that the virus is all gone could take at least one year," he said. "It is very difficult to be sure that the pathogen(病原体)is certainly out of the country."

Thailand is the world's fourth largest poultry producer and one of the worst hit countries. On Tuesday it hoped to be "bird flu free" by next week, but on Friday it reported it had fresh outbreaks earlier this month.

"Once we knew, we ordered a kill to stop the virus from going round. That place is now under 21-day watch," said senior Agriculture Ministry official(农业部门的高级官员)Yukol Limlamthong.

Bird flu went across much of Asia over the last few months, killing at least 15 people in Viet Nam(越南)and seven in Thailand, and making more than 100 million birds be killed to stop the epidemic.

Though the disease seems to be disappearing, the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization(组织)has asked the countries in which bird flu was found not to open up poultry farms too quickly to prevent the disease from breaking out again.

However, Viet Nam said on Tuesday it was about to keep more poultry groups.
