"These events have led to the outbreak, but it should be noted about a month before that, near the scene of a sudden death occurs also 50 chickens. Because of this phenomenon, the roar of the area is the potential bird flu "he said. Avian Influenza (AI) or bird flu, he added, is a disease of birds caused by type A influenza virus from Family Orhomyxoviridae. The death rate due to animal AI attacks, he said, is very high.
"Nearly all poultry such as chickens, both racial and non-racial, turkey, quail may be exposed to this kind of virus. But the AI outbreaks occur most often in chickens and turkeys "he said. 
incubation period for AI, he added, can reach 0-3 for the individual poultry liver, while for cages can reach more than three days. The possibility of transmission to humans can occur if the AI virus is adapting to humans. It is therefore important for us to know what are the characteristics of animals exposed to AI and control measures.
"There are a number of characteristics of the clinical symptoms of avian virus that AI is depressed, not eating, weakness, flaccid eggshell, and diarrhea pfofus" he said. Another feature is the comb crest, abdominal skin unfeathered blue the lead; sometimes fluid from the eyes and nose; crusting in the face and head; bleeding under the skin; bleeding point on the chest, legs, and feet, and coughing, sneezing, snoring, leleran out of the nose and mouth.

"Bird flu is transmitted to this factor remains mysterious. And the disease is very harmful to society because it attacks or racial kampong chicken. Moreover, the effect can causes the deaths in quick time and also in large quantities if attacked chickens in cages " 
he said.
Danger To Human Bird Flu
Kasi for Disease Control and Prevention Extraordinary Events (P2PKLB) at the District Health Office Drg. Permadi Suratman, M.Kes., Said the incident at Rumbling until now it does not determine the status of an outbreak because of events can be localized and controlled. However, it should be noted, in relation to the urgency of determining the status of an outbreak of avian influenza is because it has caused a number of deaths.
"As mentioned by Ms. Anti, unknown number of cumulative Avian Influenza in Indonesia since 2005 until July 2012, there were 190 cases with 158 deaths. This is the reason for the WHO puts Indonesia as the country with the highest number of H5N1 victims in the world, "he said.
The government has yet to revoke the status or condition of Extraordinary burung.Virus flu outbreak to spread from birds to humans through direct contact. H5N1 bird flu virus is a subtype of type A influenza viruses that attack the animal. However, health experts worried about a possible mutation of the virus that can be transmitted from human to human.

"When you see symptoms like this with a high body temperature hingga38o C, should immediately be brought to the health center immediately" he said. In order for us and our environment safe from bird flu, said Permadi, it's good to pay attention to these suggestions: First, make it a habit to wash hands with soap after contact with poultry, two, separating poultry cages with human habitation, and three, and cook poultry and produksnya until thoroughly cooked.
