Japan confirms another case of H5N1 bird flu
 

The ministry said on Tuesday that a separate outbreak was suspected after 23 birds died at a poultry farm in the southwestern prefecture of Miyazaki, site of two earlier H5N1 outbreaks and Japan's biggest poultry producing region.



The H5N1 virus has killed at least 164 people worldwide since 2003, most of them in Asia, and over 200 million birds have died from it or have been killed to prevent its spread.



There have been no reported cases of human infection from the virus in Japan.
