While we wait for test results on a resident of Thailand's northeastern province Chaiyaphum, additional word comes of outbreaks among fowl in four tambons in the Phatthalung province in the southern part of that nation .
Tambons are administrative districts in Thailand, smaller than a district or province. A Tambon is usually translated as a `subdistrict' in English, and usually consists of roughly 10 villages. There are generally about 10 tambons per district.
PHATTHALUNG :Two districts were yesterday declared disaster zones after an outbreak of bird flu was detected in four tambons. The four tambons are Prang Moo, Phraya Khan and Chaiburi in Muang district and tambon Pantae in Khuan Khanun district.
According to the Livestock Development Department, more than 1,000 open-range ducks in tambon Phraya Khan and tambon Chaiburi were culled.
The agency is also keeping a close watch on a possible outbreak in Talay Noi of Khuan Khanun district and Koh Kob of Pak Phayun district.
