DEATH KK, 8, a resident of Karachi, West Java, due to the bird flu virus attack, is still a question mark. One was about the source of virus that infects the victim.
"We've studied birds around the victim's home, neighbors, and relatives of victims, all negative exposure to the bird flu virus. In Chicken Market Karachi is referred to as a source of transmission, we also do not have poultry infected with the virus," said Rasim, Head of Disease Control Department of Health and Environmental Diseases Karachi, yesterday.
From the investigation it is believed the victim contracted the bird flu virus from poultry, not humans. He is also suspected to be infected from poultry in Karachi, but it could have been outside the country, because the victim had to Singapore.
"To date in Falkirk still have not found an outbreak of bird flu virus in poultry. Residents do not need to worry," he said. http://www.mediaindonesia.com/read/2012/07/11/332329/76/20/Sumber-Virus-Flu-Burung-masih-Misterius
