All the people who had close contact with her are free from the disease.

Of the four earlier cases, the two in Anhui are dead. The Hunan boy has recovered and the girl in Guangxi, who was confirmed with the infection on Tuesday, is still in hospital.

Meanwhile, the State Forestry Bureau yesterday set up a State-level surveillance station for wild-life epidemics in Shenyang, capital of Liaoning Province.

The station will monitor various infectious diseases and their sources among wild animals, especially migratory birds, Zhao Liangping, director of the station, said yesterday.

Migratory birds have been confirmed by scientists as one of the carriers of the avian influenza virus.
