Russia: The threat of avian influenza posereznee

[Previous post on this situation in Russia: http://pandemicinformationnews.blogspot.com/2009/01/african-swine-plague-25-cases-in-wild.html]


12.02.2009
Complicated the situation in the country with African swine fever virus (ACHS). In January, in the Stavropol region again recorded case of animals on a farm. The virus is also found in the Kabardino-Balkaria in wild boar - the potential carriers of plague.
Despite the fact that winter is a positive effect on the prevention of disease, since animals are contained in sealed enclosures, and Head of Veterinary Medicine Cabinet RT Bulat Kamalov does not exclude the threat of infiltration of a dangerous virus on the territory of our republic. And warns that the threat is more serious than avian flu: ACHS is able to destroy thousand pig for schitanye hours.

We have already talked about the measures taken in Tatarstan in order to prevent the penetration of the virus in the republic. In Minselkhozprod reminded of the need for strict implementation of measures recommended by a specially created by the Republican headquarters. This is a regular profosmotrov, delete vygulnogo pigs, etc. Now much depends on managers selhozupravleny and farmers, hunters and farmers engaged in cultivation of pigs because of their irresponsibility could put at risk the important sector of the economy.

Need to be extremely careful, because an effective means of prevention ACHS has not yet been developed, and treated animals can not and, moreover, is prohibited. The only solution - kill the sick animals, while bloodless method. By the way, is now used for bloodless medicine euthanasia - adilin - Tatarstan scientists invented.

Faced with impending'll hope for the best but prepare for the worst. In the event of epidemic ACHS in each municipality must be biometric pits for disposal of bio waste. And this, say clearly, we do not all smooth.

According to the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, President of Tatarstan order to address the problem of disposal of biological waste in the municipality last year was met by only 67 per cent, though the money for these activities from the national budget allocated. In particular, last year's estimated 91 to buy incinerator (a mobile installation for the disposal of bio waste), but obtained only 85. It was necessary to arrange the 802 anthrax skotomogilnika fact - 571, build 308 biotermicheskih pits, the fact - 120.

The full deal with the development of anthrax skotomogilnikov only 20 municipalities - Sabinsky, Arsky, Baltasinsky, Drozhzhanovsky, Kaybitsky, Tetyushsky, Aksubaevsky, Alekseevskii, Spassky, Chistopolsky, Aktanyshsky, Mamadyshsky, Mendeleev, Zainsky, Sarmanovsky, Almetyevsk, Leninogorsk, Cheremshansky, Muslyumovsky and Nurlatsky. The problem of arranging skotomogilnikov pro-ignore Vysokogorsky, Laishevskom, Pestrechinskom, Rybnoslobodskom, Tyulyachinskom, Agryzskom, Menzelinsk municipalities, as well as in Naberezhnye Chelny.

The situation is most acute with the development of the budgetary funds intended for construction biotermicheskih pits. If the Sabinskom, Baltasinskom, Buinskom, Alekseevskii, Alkeevskom, Novosheshminskom Aktanyshskom, Mamadyshskom, Almetyevsk, Leninogorsk Kamskoustinskom areas and built the necessary quantity, the Verhneuslonskom, Zelenodolsk, Laishevskom, Rybnoslobodskom, Atninskom, Tetyushskom, Spassky, Agryzskom and Nizhnekamsk areas do not appear any such object.

Kazan, the Board did not put 2 million 650 thousand rubles of budget intended for the purchase and construction of five incinerators biotermicheskoy pit. Not spodobilis buy mobile installation for the disposal of bio waste in Aznakaevskom and Verhneuslonskom areas.
