Seoul (AFP) Dec 29, 2010 A South Korean duck farm has reported a suspected case of bird flu, the agriculture ministry said Wednesday. A quarantine zone has been declared around a farm in Cheonan, about 90 kilometres (54 miles) south of Seoul, where ducks showed symptoms of avian influenza, the ministry said.

Three confirmed cases of bird flu from wild migratory birds have been reported this year.
