Thailand probes cow deaths linked to bird flu cat case
Thailand ordered an investigation into whether 196 cows died from bird flu as a house cat reportedly tested positive. If confirmed, the cat would be the first domesticated mammal struck by the deadly avian flu in Asia. A clouded leopard in a Bangkok zoo died last month from the virus, heightening concerns over cross species transmission. The cat’s case was reported by Krungthep Thurakij citing Kasetsart University Animal Hospital director Thanirat Santiwat. A WHO adviser said he could not confirm the case.
