CONAKRY —
The West African country reported its first six outbreaks of bird flu on June 7 that killed a total of 120,478 poultry.
"Our concern is to prevent it spreading to areas where the epidemic has not yet been declared," Agriculture Minister Mamaoudou Nagnalen Barry said.
The current outbreaks have been contained at around 50 and 100 kilometers from the capital Conakry, in the Coyah and Forecariah prefectures, he added.
