  • NEW YORK – DECEMBER 8: Chickens wait in a cage at the Chicken Market, a live chicken dealer and slaughter house, December 8, 2004 in New York City. Recent outbreaks of the H5N1 strain of bird flu in Asian nations have forced the slaughter of millions of chickens, ducks, and other birds across Asia. This year there have been 44 confirmed human cases of H5N1 flu in Thailand and Vietnam including 32 fatalities. In Asia the virus has spread from birds to humans, and the World Health Organization is warning governments that if the virus mutates into a form that can be spread from one person to another, a pandemic could result. The outbreak of bird flu on farms in Delaware and Maryland earlier this year were mild forms that did not affect humans. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)Health
