Seven Russian villages still hit by bird flu

Seven villages in Russia have recently registered cases of bird flu, the Agriculture Ministry said, citing the Russian government veterinary watchdog Rosselkhoznadzor.

The villages are located in the southern Russian regions of Dagestan, Krasnodar and Volgograd, the ministry said.

The virus struck 11 regions in southern Russia in 2005, but hotbeds of the disease have been stamped out in the regions of Astrakhan, Rostov, Kalmykia, Adygeya, North Ossetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Chechnya, and Stavropol.

Rosselkhoznadzor said 65.26 million doses of vaccine had been sent to stricken territories and that 32.92 million fowl had been vaccinated.
