H5N1 bird flu virus kills 9 in Vietnam and Cambodia

AS China battles the new strain, neighboring Vietnam yesterday reported its first death in more than a year from the better known H5N1 bird flu virus. The victim was a four-year-old child from a farming family.

Meanwhile, Cambodia, which neighbors Vietnam, has also been hit with a recent unexplained spike in H5N1 cases. Eight people have died this year so far, including six children.

The H5N1 virus has killed more than 370 people around the world since a major outbreak in Asia a decade ago.
