UK - H1N1 found in turkeys

Date: Wed 12 Jan 2011
Source: DEFRA (UK Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs) News
[edited]


---------------------
A routine disease investigation has ruled out avian notifiable disease but
detected H1N1 influenza in turkeys on a farm in Cheshire.

The strain is closely similar to the human pandemic H1N1 strain currently
circulating.

The Health Protection Agency has undertaken a thorough public health risk
assessment and can confirm there is no risk to public health.

This finding has resulted from a routine notifiable avian disease
investigation relating to a small number of turkeys showing mild signs of
disease. During the investigation there was clinical improvement in these
birds.

Results of laboratory tests show that statutory notifiable avian disease --
where the government would need to take animal health action -- can be
ruled out. Restrictions have been lifted on the farm.

There is no food safety risk. Pandemic H1N1, in common with avian
influenza, has not been shown to be transmissible to people through eating
properly handled and cooked poultry meat, products, and eggs.

Bird keepers should continue to maintain appropriate biosecurity measures
and be vigilant for signs of notifiable avian disease and report any
suspicion promptly to the Animal Health agency.

Cull Numbers as of January 9, 2011 Target of animals to cull = 1,330,000 Completed culling as of January 9 = 1,157,000 Cattle =103,000 Pigs = 1,051,000 Deer, sheep, goats = 3,000 2. Euthanasia Succinylcholine (for human surgery) was used. This drug is a neuromuscular blocking agent that induces muscle paralysis without loss of consciousness. So this drug is not acceptable as a sole agent for euthanasia. Because cattle were the main focus of government efforts, pigs were not given succinylcholine. The total amount of the drug available was 200,000 ampules (this is the exact number supplied by the manufacturer). 1~3 ampules are needed to kill cattle: 1 x ampules kills through intravenous injection 3 x ampules kills through muscle injection Cattle were mainly killed through muscle injection. But after one month of the FMD outbreak, the drug had run out (on December 29, 2010). At that point we can presume live burials were used exclusively for cattle and all other animals. 3. FMD Outbreaks as of Jaunary 10, 2011 The virus type is the same with Japan. Total outbreak cases = 112 (certified) Cattle = 78 Pigs = 34 4. Percentage of Live Burials At the most conservative estimate, based on pig numbers only, over 90% of animals were buried alive. Many other animals, including cattle have met the same fate; however, it is unknown what percentage of those animals were buried alive. Also, at the same time foot-and-mouth has been sweeping Korea, there were bird flu outbreaks and a separate culling operation began for that. To date, 600,000 birds have been buried alive. If we include the live burials of birds, a minimum 94% of 1,757,000 animals have been buried alive since November 29, 2010. Updates After Jan. 9 FMD outbreaks = 116 FMD deaths now at 1.41 million. AI live burials now at 2.7 million Minimum percentage of animals buried alive: 97-8%

Commonground's Spread Sheet on UK Swine Flu Stats

Sixty more deaths, but flu 'may be starting to plateau'
13 January 2011

Excerpt:
The number of people in critical care beds in England has fallen from 783 last week to 661.

Professor John Watson, head of respiratory diseases at the HPA, said: "Our latest flu report suggests levels of people seeing their doctor for flu-like illness is beginning to plateau but this may be skewed by the recent holiday period.

"Flu is still circulating in the community and the message remains that those people in an at-risk group should have their seasonal flu vaccine as soon as possible as this is the best way to protect themselves from flu this winter."

At-risk groups who are advised to have the jab include pregnant women, the elderly and those with other underlying conditions such as heart problems, diabetes, lung, liver or renal diseases and those who have weakened immune systems.

The HPA added that it had seen a "modest" increase in bacterial infections such as pneumococcal and meningococcal disease, which might be linked to flu, and that it was advising doctors to remain vigilant for them.

Professor Watson added: "The severity of these conditions means that prompt identification and treatment are essential."

Professor John Oxford, a virologist at Barts and the Royal London, suggested the outbreak might be "past the worst".

But he told the BBC it was important for government and experts like himself to learn lessons.

"It was much bigger than we thought. We should think much more seriously about vaccinating the under-fours."

UK Swine Flu Update

The overall number of severely ill patients with confirmed or suspected flu in critical care has reduced.

As at 13 January 2011, there were 661 patients with confirmed or suspected influenza in NHS critical care beds in England – these patients occupied 19 % of available critical care beds nationally.

http://winterwatch.dh.gov.uk/health-data-13-jan-2011/


Summary
GP and school closures over the Christmas/New Year period will have affected surveillance indicators so all data should be interpreted with caution. Indeed, several influenza indicators have apparently plateaued. GP consultation rates remain above baseline levels in all four countries. Influenza A H1N1 (2009) and B are the predominant circulating viruses with few, sporadic A (H3N2) viruses detected. The H1N1 (2009) virus strain is virologically and epidemiologically similar to that seen during the pandemic. The virus strains circulating are overall well matched to the current influenza vaccine.

In week 1 (ending 9 January), the weekly influenza/influenza-like illness (ILI) consultation rates increased in England (108.4 per 100,000), Scotland (55.8 per 100,000), Wales (92.8 per 100,000) and Northern Ireland (274.4 per 100,000). The weekly national proportions of NHS Direct calls for cold/flu and fever have decreased in week 1. Eleven acute respiratory disease outbreaks were reported in UK in week 1, three in care homes, two in hospitals, five in prisons and one in a primary school. This brings the total reported this season so far to 146. Seventy-six of 156 (48.7%) specimens from patients with ILI presenting to sentinel GPs in England in week 1, were reported as positive for influenza. The proportion of specimens reported to DataMart (England) as positive for influenza decreased to 27.8% (1,104 of 3,968). The proportion of samples positive for RSV decreased slightly and was low for rhinovirus, parainfluenza, adenovirus and HMPV. Currently the main circulating influenza strains are influenza A (H1N1) and influenza B.

From week 36, 112 deaths associated with influenza infection have been reported.
By week 1, the proportion of people in England aged over 65 years who had received the 2010/11 influenza vaccine was 70.8%. For those in a risk group aged under 65 it was 46.3%. In Europe, several countries are continuing to report increasing influenza activity, primarily associated with influenza A H1N1 (2009). In the USA influenza activity has decreased slightly but continued to increased in Canada. In North America influenza A (H3N2) and B viruses have been predominant.

#South Korea-Institute finds infection and covers up for days

Institute finds infection and covers up for days January 13, 2011

The Gyeongsangbuk-do Livestock Research Institute in North Gyeongsang, a premier agricultural breeding facility, became infected with foot-and-mouth disease - and covered it up for six days. Jeong Chang-jin, chief of the institute, said Tuesday that a female striped ox at the egg transfer center of the institute was found to be FMD-positive by the National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service last Wednesday despite the institute’s preventive measures. However, neither the National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service, which tested the ox’s blood, nor the Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries was aware of the fact. When the institute sent the blood to the Veterinary Service for tests, the request was sent in the name of Jeong, not the institute, to make it look like it came from an individual farm. Since one ox was infected, the rest of the hoofed mammals in the institute should have been slaughtered quickly. The institute was raising 1,100 such animals, including Hanwoo (cows native to Korea), striped oxen, which are considered a rare variety, milk cows and pigs. The institute delayed the slaughters until Tuesday. “Currently, 670 livestock have been slaughtered and buried,” said Jeong, adding that “the procedure is taking time as the institute is using its own manpower and equipment.” He said they will “hurry the procedure.” The outbreak in the institute has halted all breeding activities. Moreover, production and supply of breeding pigs and sperm are no longer possible. It was the second livestock research institute in a rural area to become infected with FMD following one in South Chungcheong last May. Meanwhile, the Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries heightened the crisis alert for avian influenza after it spread from South Jeolla to Gyeonggi on Jan. 8.
