MANILA, Jan 14 (Reuters) - The Philippines' Department of
Agriculture said on Thursday it has imposed a temporary ban on
the importation of domestic and wild birds and their products
from France, South Korea and the Netherlands, where the H5N8
avian flu virus has been detected.
The Philippines' import ban has been widened weeks after
first temporarily halted poultry purchases from Poland from last
month because of the outbreak of the highly pathogenic strain.
