HA NOI — There is a high risk of re-occurrence of the bird-flu epidemic this year, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Dev-elopment’s Veterinary Department.

The warning follows an outbreak of the disease on 19 farms in Ba Thuoc District in central Thanh Hoa Province since December 28.

The sister of a girl infected with avian influenza type A/H5N1 died in the province last Friday.

The 13-year-old girl, Bui Thi Phuong, was from Dien Trung Commune where the latest outbreak occurred. She was taken to hospital with symptoms of fever, cough and difficult breathing, said her father Bui Van Hop.

Nguyen Ngoc Thanh, deputy director of Thanh Hoa health department, said she died quickly before any tests could be made.

Earlier, her 8-year-old sister, Bui Thi Thao, was tested positive for avian influenza type A/H5N1. She was hospitalised with fever, cough, sore throat and difficult breathing.

"After five-day treatment, she is recovering," said doctor Le Trong Dung, head of the infectious department of the Thanh Hoa Polyclinic.

Two weeks ago, both girls ate birds raised by their family. The birds are believed to have been diseased.

Thao was the first recorded human case of avian influenza type A/H5N1 in Viet Nam since last March.

Health ministry figures show that five people were infected with the H5N1 virus in 2008 – and all had died.

The Thanh Hoa veterinary department reported that the latest avian influenza strain had affected 380 fowls and led to the culling another 8,000.

To prevent the disease spreading further, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Cao Duc Phat, has sent a circular to provinces and cities urging them to set up missions to frequently check on prevention and control measures and to make sure 100 per cent of the poultry are vaccinated.

He said steps should be taken to strengthen quarantine checks on poultry and other farm animals being transported before and after Tet, the lunar New Year festival.

And he called for publicity to warn people about the dangers of catching or spreading the disease.

Relevant agencies have been asked to set strict controls over the trade, transport, slaughtering and consumption of poultry.

The ministry on Wednesday approved spending VND120 billion ($7 million) nationally on poultry vaccination for the 2009-10 period.

Local authorities had promptly quarantined the area, culled sick fowls and kept an eye on all people relating to this case, said Nguyen Ngoc Thanh, director of the provincial health department.

"Local administrations have set up check-points and increased supervision on the transport and slaughtering of poultry in Dien Trung Commune," said Lo Van Len, vice chairman of the People’s Committee of Ba Thuoc District.

The Department of Preventive Medicine and Environment under the health ministry recommends people should not eat sick poultry and report all dead or sick birds to local authorities. They should also only eat cooked food, drink boiled water and wash their hands frequently with soap.

High-risk areas

The risk of bird flu returning to the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta is high now because the disease typically breaks out in winter, local authorities are unable to control free-range ducks.

The delta last year reported 34 bird flu outbreaks in Tra Vinh, Dong Thap, Soc Trang, Ca Mau, and Kien Giang provinces and Can Tho Citythat saw 31,350 birds killed or culled.

Deputy Director Animal Husbandry Department Nguyen Thanh Son said that the level of service on the CGC's current three provinces not serious. However, at this time last year, the province does not have service. This year, getting only three provinces, the number of dead poultry, but not many have two human cases and 2 cases were fatal. The Health Ministry has not formally concluded yet watch out racial motivation of the H5N1 virus seems more powerful. Therefore, we are very worried because this may signal a new outbreak occurred on a large scale if we do not control the time and concurrently with the risk of new varieties.Should follow the recommendations of the Ministry of Health
Before his eyes the Son, to take samples and analyze the dynamics of the virus occurred in the area 3 provinces are other translated CGC see what it was last, with a death rate of poultry how to make ...
be more flexible measures in prevention services. Focus drastically suppresses outbreaks in three provinces and cities. Particularly in Soc Trang, should temporarily ban movement of poultry from infected areas until the end of service announcement, to prevent the spread of the western provinces. On the other hand, provide enough doses of vaccine to vaccinate; injection complement the Cuu Long River Delta provinces. Indeed, if the CGC to translate the movement spread to the number of two million chickens imported from the end of 2011 when the herd growth in the first quarter, you can II/2012 are affected.
The Market Management Bureau (Ministry of Trade and Industry) proposed and strictly handle cases of intentional violations when "selling" infected poultry.
Many people said that urgent situation as today, while Vietnam has taken to produce vaccines in immunization service of the Veterinary Department should look for other vaccine trials expeditiously especially with the new virus to mutate. Furthermore, the current in the provinces of Nghe An, Bac Lieu, Kien Giang, Thai Nguyen and Ha Noi also phenomena dead poultry suspected flu. So the authorities should urgently take samples for testing. At the same time, needed to launch another round of cleaning, disinfection, sterilization will repel the danger.
According to an analysis of experts, the frequent changes of A/H5N1 influenza strains with high motivation to risk to humans is very high. Therefore, the Ministry of Health advised the public not to buy poultry transport of unknown origin and comply with cooked food, drink boiling, do not eat duck, not eating infected poultry or poultry disease death, particularly when symptoms of cough, fever related to poultry need right medical facility to check ...
Husbandry Department said that up to this point, from Quang Tri province to have 13 cattle dead cold with a total of 1445 children, including five provinces with over 100 children died. Compared to this time last year (more than 80,000 dead), the fewer number of years, showing livestock at the local and experienced election officials closely, Warm good for cattle. As predicted, only 1-2 mild cold spell again, the number of cattle died malaria will be less than the previous year.  http://www.thanhtra.com.vn/tabid/77/newsid/50382/temidclicked/34/seo/Tai-phat-dich-cum-gia-cam-noi-lo-bien-chung-moi-cua-vi-rut/Default.aspx

Go deaths in Thanh Hoa by suspected H5N1 virus: Special alert dangerous disease this

Friday, 09/01/2009, 01:50 (GMT +7)

Even the early 2009, outbreaks of influenza A H5N1 have come back again even before the function has continued to warn about the risk of disease risk in this Bùng the winter-spring and Chinese New Year. Around this issue, we discussed Dr. Nguyen Huy Nga, Department Chief of Department of Health and Environment (Ministry of Health).

- PV: He can give more information about cases and suspected deaths due to influenza A H5N1 in Thanh Hoa?

Dr. Nguyen Huy RUSSIA: Right now confirmed infected with a H5N1 influenza A child is Bui Thi T. (8 years) Fill in China, Ba Thuoc district, Thanh Hoa province. Patients with this disease started from 27-12-2008, but on 2-1-2009 New hospitalized with symptoms of fever, cough, difficulty breathing, have taken X.quang Photo by pneumonia virus and the disease blood test Products Institute in sanitation epidemiology central to positive results for influenza A H5N1.

On the death of the child Bui Thi. (13 years) is a disease of her bowel Bui Thi T. do not do the blood test disease products, we are not confirmed by the H5N1 virus, though the child. there are also manifestations of the disease as children. However, notification of the Department of Health, Thanh Hoa, the child. death is shock due to infections.

Also to say, all 2 cases, the epidemiological investigation showed that, before the disease started 1 week, patients and families eat infected birds. And in families and patients around the poultry have died unknown causes.

- The influenza A H5N1 outbreaks in people have come back, he can indicate the risk of causing any disease dangerous to thrive in the winter-spring?

Flu, particularly the influenza A H5N1 may appear around the year but often have the highest was in the winter - spring. Because, cold weather, moisture conditions are favorable for the type of flu virus develops and spreads to people, especially those in low resistance, such as the elderly or children. It also thrive in places with highly populated, apartment in the narrow and lack of hygiene, especially after the floods. Besides, this is also a time of near Chinese New Year of poultry should be stored and consumption increased rapidly cause germs from poultry diseases and to distribute more.

- Recently veterinary agencies Lang Son have found H5N1 virus in the throat and most of China's chicken import illegal. Meanwhile, the number of illegal imported chickens in Vietnam does not yet control. He can warn people how this situation before?

In 2008, the country had recorded 5 cases of H5N1 influenza A, and all cases and all deaths related to influenza. This shows that H5N1 flu is a risk to health and strong people.

Chinese New Year is coming near and it is time consuming poultry in most people need to be very alert, even in areas not detect HPAI.

- So far, H5N1 vaccine is still in the research experiment. According to him, should have flu vaccination by tuyp to improve the situation or can not?

The vaccination for seasonal flu vaccine is still the health sector recommendations to help the people and the common flu. This is also the aim to prevent the re-combination of regular flu vaccine for influenza A H5N1 tuyp conversion into a new flu vaccine more dangerous, more easily spread in the community as recommended by the Health in the world.

- Thank him!

Pacific implemented many preventive measures for influenza A H5N1 #BIRDFLU #H5N1

  Updated on: 25/02/2012 11:44:55
* . (BDO) Immediately after the detection of influenza A H5N1 cases first in Binh Duong and Ho Chi Minh City Pasteur Institute leaders met with Pacific Health Department to discuss the rapid deployment of measures to prevent and combat the type of this disease.
 
 Until this time, in addition to identifying patients Phu Truong Son positive for influenza A H5N1, the infectious source identification is difficult because back time after Binh Duong, Son has come and stay at many places.  . Pasteur Institute in Ho Chi Minh City representatives made ​​three hypothesis of infectious sources.

The first hypothesis is in Thanh Hoa Province, for the time patients Son home eating duck with more frequency (2 days to eat one time) while the province of Thanh Hoa province is a growing epidemic with 9 service districts. However, in the patient's Son district in Thanh Hoa province shall not declare the epidemic. 

The second theory is in Binh Duong. 

The third hypothesis in in Cu Chi District, HCMC, because patients have participated in duck meat and meat was purchased at Cu Chi. 

 
  During the period of illness with fever, hot Son patients self-treatment drug, then treated at a polyclinic in the town Di An and transferred to Hospital Corps 4.
 
 Right after the samples positive for influenza A H5N1 patient's Son, Ho Chi Minh City Pasteur Institute has asked the location where the patient Son of treatment, as well as work carried out disinfection and check list monitor, isolate those who have had contact with patients.  In addition, at Son in patients with a host family in the neighborhood I 8, Phu Loi, TX.TDM, specialized agencies have also conducted palate and remove fluid communication measures for disease prevention members of this family.

 Mr. Tran Ngoc Huu, HCMC Pasteur Institute said that the authorities of Binh Duong to continue testing, monitoring to determine the outbreak.  In case of sale at the Cu Chi ducks need more information and do not exclude the possibility that the duck from the western provinces put up.  The measures we present a new implementation of the resolution at its tip, yet the base is to determine the source of infection is still having a certain number of difficulties.

 According to Huu, current diagnostic problems in a number of health facilities has been slow due to limited diagnostic facilities, so the treatment effect is low.  He suggested that Pacific should review the resources, equipment, medication, make a list of mobile teams prevention services, which should pay attention to your breathing and ability to use the ventilator. Center for Preventive Medicine Pacific should re-training problem handling the outbreak, plan prevention and specific as well as to monitor closely the increase and decrease of the flu.  Communication also need to follow the behavior change of people, because bệnh nhân . Truong Phu Son patients are doctors themselves, but also many times eat duck while Thanh Hoa are translated and then again when symptomatic self-treatment drug.

China is helping with that...posted Here

The OIE Reference Laboratory in Harbin, China, has developed a new vaccine seed strain that experimentally protects poultry from the identified H5N1 virus clade 2.3.2.1. This vaccine, once available for field use, will be used in countries where H5N1 virus clade 2.3.2.1 has been identified. Registration and manufacturing of a poultry vaccine with the new seed strain is in progress.


Back in July of 2011, there was this report on Re-5, and Re6, for 2.3.2:

Especially the branch of this new virus was quickly converted and developed into two branches, there are big differences on the Antigen. Branch 1 circulating widely in almost all over the province and branch 2 was only discovered in two provinces of Vietnam and the Pacific. More worrying, the Bureau's test results on the effect of animal health-vaccin H5N1 showed protective effects on Re5 for this new branch of virus is very low, almost no effect. Current influenza vaccines used in our country mainly imports, of which most are from China. In order to prevent the bird flu virus Clade of this new branch, currently, 2.3.2 Chinese research into vaccines H5N1-but far not Re6 test results. http://tinyurl.com/6pxm2d8
