Bird flu virus spreads in Riau after boy's death
( The Jakarta Post )

The bird flu virus has spread within Sungai Apit district in Siak regency, Riau, following the death of a child infected with the virus at the end of March, says a local official, adding prevention measures were being hampered by residents' reluctance to cull their poultry.
District chief Indra Atmaja said the spread of the virus was only discovered following reports of poultry dying abruptly on April 4.
