Cambodia is facing threats from both the H1N1 virus and the avian influenza, health officials warned Monday, announcing that another man fell ill with bird flu in December.
December’s infection brings the total bird flu cases in humans to nine, with seven killed from the disease since in first appeared in 2004.
The most recent case, in Kampong Cham province, was accompanied by the deaths of 143 chickens. (Testing on two of two samples showed positive results for avian influenza.)
Meanwhile, H1N1, sometimes called swine flu, has killed six people and infected more than 500, officials said.
