   Via Reuters: China warns of fresh bird flu outbreaks this spring.

"There is still the possibility of bird flu epidemics across a large area (of the country) this spring," Agriculture Minister Du Qinglin was quoted by the China Youth Daily as telling a conference. 
Du cited increased movement of migratory birds after the winter and more shipping of poultry as the new raising season begins, the newspaper said. 
"The protection given inoculated birds last autumn is waning and vaccination work for family-raised poultry in remote rural areas is difficult," Du said. "The situation is still very grave."
