TOKYO - Bird flu has been reported on a central Japanese quail farm but no animals have died and no humans have been infected, an agriculture ministry official said Friday.
The birds were infected with the H7 strain of the virus, he said.
"The outbreak occurred at a quail farm in Aichi prefecture, but no birds have died and no humans have been infected," the official said.
In April and May last year several dead swans tested positive for the more virulent H5N1 strain of bird flu in Hokkaido, northern Japan.
