Gabon and Equatorial Guinea have imposed ban on table birds from Cameroon due to the resurgence of the avian influenza virus. Poultry farmers say the ban has hugely affected their business. Huge amounts of live chicken and other domestic birds are stockpiling at Cameroon's southern border town of Kiossi. This comes after Equatorial Guinea and Gabon imposed ban on the sale of poultry from Cameroon. The ban follows the resurgence of the avian influenza virus, which has hit Cameroon's capital, Yaounde. The avian influenza, commonly called bird flu (H5N1), is an infectious disease which attacks bird, but can in rare instances also be passed to humans. The outbreak has hugely affected Cameroon's poultry farmers and businessmen who export meat and domestic birds to neighboring countries. The H5N1 virus reappeared in Cameroon on May 22. Since then, at least 40,000 chickens have been culled in a bid to stop the outbreak.
