Sanming (China):
China reported its seventh human infection of H5N1 bird flu on Thursday, but questions remain over where the virus actually came from.
The victim, surnamed Zhou, from Meilie District of Sanming City in East China's Fujian Province, had never been into contact with infected birds or poultry before. All 66,172 poultry raised within 3 kilometres of Zhou's home had been immunized by December 5.
No bird flu outbreak had happened previously in the district, and no abnormal poultry deaths had been found since this autumn, local officials said.
