In rural areas poultry are traditionally raised on rooftops, often in close proximity to young children.

Shahin said "children, mostly aged between one and a half and three, are hard to control. It's difficult to keep them away from the fowl, but the public awareness campaign is beginning to bear fruit among women."

The WHO estimates that the H5N1 strain of the virus has killed around 250 people since 2003, mainly in Southeast Asia.

In Vietnam on Friday, a doctor said a 23-year-old woman has died from bird flu in Thanh Hoa province, making her the country's fourth human victim of the disease this year.
