Vietnam: Quang Ngai Province Confirmed H5N1 Ducks

Avian influenza (influenza A/H5N1) is probably just from the sporadic outbreak will spread on a large scale if the government and local people have no preventive measures in time.

From day 9 / 10, only from a family of ducks in Nghia Ha, Tu Nghia District, Quang Ngai province with about 2,200 children die and then rise gradually scattered.

After receiving the report, Nghia Ha veterinary stations sampled and sent for testing. The result was to send all 3 samples are tested positive for influenza A H5N1 virus.

Pm on 11/10, local authorities and Quang Ngai Veterinary expeditiously destroy the said ducks and pepper spray chemicals infections, detoxifying the outbreak area.

Earlier, in late August, Tinh Phong commune, Son Tinh District, Quang Ngai Province, flock of more than 1,500 children a family has tested positive for H5N1.

Day 9 / 9, the disease reappeared in 3200 ducks, 750 children and children of two other families in the district of Tu Nghia Nghia Hanh district ... and then, influenza A H5N1 appeared scattered in several districts in Quang Ngai.

According to the understanding of reporters, most birds are breeding in Quang Ngai province since April 2010, that is, not Vaccination was one. Meanwhile, the vaccination plan for phase 2 in September this year again delayed because resources are not enough vaccine. On the other hand, the livestock farmers do not actively use measures to prevent disease in their flocks.

Many reasons are given to justify the number of poultry died of the disease, but suppose, the immediate need is immediate and local people need to actively coordinate to prevent the spread of disease, not to Sporadic outbreaks of widespread outbreaks. /.
