    Japanese White-eye tested for avian flu

    Preliminary testing of a Japanese White-eye found dead in Mong Kok has indicated a suspected case of avian influenza, the Agriculture, Fisheries & Conservation Department says, adding further confirmatory tests are being conducted.

     

    The carcass was collected at Diocesan Boy's School on February 6.

     

    As for a suspected case involving a dead Little Egret found in Tuen Mun earlier, the department said the bird has been confirmed as H5N1-positive.
