SEOUL, May 6 (Yonhap) -- The deadly H5N1 strain of avian influenza was detected on Tuesday in dead chickens from a bird vivarium in Seoul, government officials said, prompting quarantine officials to decontaminate and limit access to a nearby children's park and open air market.
The Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries said quarantine officials detected the highly virulent H5N1 strain in the two dead chickens from the bird vivarium located at the Gwangjin ward office in eastern Seoul.
