Vietnam-Bird flu re-recurrence
In two weeks, six thousand chickens and ducks have died of the H5N1 virus in Bac Lieu and Ca Mau. Current risk of avian influenza will spread not only in the Mekong Delta but also out of the country. The control in the provinces of Central and North also very loose. According to press domestic poultry was shipped to South Central without any precautions. The trucks of the provincial bird is still easy. Cold weather is favorable season for avian influenza virus spread because of the high consumption of poultry meat during the holidays.
Last year, with the help of international, said that Vietnam has successfully prevent avian influenza and human cases have not been infected since late 2005. Current wave of avian influenza has come from the illegal breeding flock and not be vaccinated. Additionally, the destruction of infected poultry may not comply with regulations. This is a major obstacle in preventing the disease. Tradition of living close to poultry in rural Vietnam caused diseases spread easily. There was also doubt about the result of the state disease prevention in Vietnam in the past because of habit and unobtrusive performance hides the truth of the state.
According to a December 22 fathers of Harvard university, this flu could kill 62 million people worldwide.
