Two new cases of avian influenza H5N8 were reported today. The first case has been confirmed at a chicken farm in the village of Ter Aar, in South Holland province, 15 miles from a farm where thousands of chickens were slaughtered this week following a bird flu infection. All 43,000 chickens are being slaughtered. The second case was diagnosed in Kamperveen, a broiler-breeder farm that contains 10,000 birds.
