Suzetta said avian flu has become a pandemic, although Indonesia once had an optimistic psychology in 2006 saying it managed to contain the disease successfully.
Meanwhile in Africa, Nigeria said it had found the H5N1 virus in a woman who died after flu symptoms. This is the first case of bird flu in the sub-Saharan region.
* CSL Pharmaceutical Company (Australia) has announced that it has successfully tested an avian influenza vaccine in adults between the ages of 18-65.

CSL said that the new vaccine will first be registered for circulation in the Southern Hemisphere, then supplied and stocked in Asia.
