TOKYO -- Another Aichi Prefecture farm has been tested positive for a form of bird flu virus, the prefectural government said Monday.

The local government conducted the test on farms around a quail farm in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, where a weak-virulent H7N6 subtype of bird flu virus was detected last week, according to the Kyodo News.
