A Thai farmer tends to a flock of ducks on a paddy field in Nakhonsawan province north of Bangkok, Thailand October 23, 2005. A Thai boy tested positive for bird flu on Friday, but doctors said he was recovering and there was no sign he caught the virus from his infected father who died earlier this week, calming fears of a human pandemic. New cases were reported in Britain, Romania and Croatia, but there was no immediate indication that they involved the lethal H5N1 strain of the virus.
