Phnom Penh - Xinhua
An outbreak of H5N1 avian flu has hit a backyard poultry in southeastern Cambodia's Svay Rieng province, said a World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) statement seen on Wednesday.
The virus killed 68 chickens and led to the destruction of 322 others, according to the OIE's statement, citing a report from the Cambodian Ministry of Agriculture.
The outbreak was confirmed after the poultry owner reported poultry illnesses and deaths to the authorities on Jan. 25, it said.
"Three local chicken samples were taken and sent to the National Animal Health and Production Research Institute for diagnosis, and the sample test result confirmed positive for H5N1 (on Jan. 27)," it said.
It was the first outbreak in the kingdom since May 2016, the statement said, adding that animal health officials had sprayed disinfectants at the poultry farm, where the disease broke out.
H5N1 is a "high-mortality" disease, which had killed 37 Cambodians out of a total of 56 detected cases since 2005, according to the Ministry of Health.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
