(Reuters) - Workers wearing protection suits prepare to cull chickens at a poultry farm where the bird flu virus had been found in Yasugi, western Japan December 2, 2010. Japan's farm ministry on Friday confirmed the country's first outbreak of the highly pathogenic H5N1 strain of bird flu at the poultry farm since 2007. Chickens which died on the farm in western Japan this week had the strain, which differs from a far less virulent type of the virus last found in poultry in central Japan in 2009, the ministry said in a statement.
