Survey Finds No Sign of Bird Disease
From Times Wire Reports
A recent survey of birds in San Diego County found no traces of exotic Newcastle disease, which has forced a quarantine on poultry and other birds across Southern California.

Recent surveys in Ventura and Imperial counties have also failed to find the disease.
