Himself added, still coordinating with the Department of Health to monitor the human Pertahutbun place or region where sudden death unggus continuously.
"If there is a chicken that died suddenly the public to alert the Department of Health and Pertahutbun to minimize outbreaks of bird flu threat to humans," he said.
Afrida Aziz said, now has five residents of Padang suspected bird flu as an incentive to undergo treatment in hospital M. Jamil Padang.
"The hospital has taken blood samples of each patient to determine their positive or negative bird flu," he said.
According to him, 5 villagers are exposed to bird flu virus as a result of direct contact with poultry or chicken.

Himself added, DHO provide socialization in community health centers in the city of Padang about early handling of bird flu.
"We have been providing socialization on how early treatment if the people stricken with bird flu," he said.
Socialization material, he explained, how to diagnose or identify cases in primary health care either center or private doctor's clinic. Because many diseases are always with symptoms of fever, bird flu was also preceded by high fever.
In this case, health care workers must conduct in-depth anamneses when treating patients with fever. For example, ask whether the patient was in the past week been in contact with poultry that died suddenly or in contact with the poultry products.
"If there is, then the strong suspicion that the patient suspect bird flu," said Aziz Afrida. (Report Rusman / ant)

Indramayu Family Believed to Have Bird Flu Hospitalized
A family of four in Indramayu, West Java, that developed influenza-like symptoms after being in direct contact with sick poultry have been declared possible bird flu carriers.
Parents Duljani and Carsiah and daughters Cinta and Dewi were admitted to the health clinic in Bongas subdistrict in Indramayu shortly after they complained of coughs, fever and abdominal pain.
The Health Ministry’s director general of disease control and environmental health, Tjandra Yoga Aditama, said the four patients were later transferred to Indramayu General Hospital’s isolation ward for further testing and medical treatment.
“The hospital has performed all the necessary procedures needed to treat bird flu patients,” he said.
Tjandra said his ministry did not suspect that the family suffered from a mutated form of the H5N1 virus that could be transmitted from human to human. He said such a mutation would only be suspected if the victim did not have any contact at all with sick poultry and was infected by someone who brought the virus from elsewhere.
“Since the family lives together, near sick poultry, it’s not unusual that they would start to develop the same symptoms, but we will keep monitoring developments in the case,” he said.
Dozens of chickens near Duljani’s house died suddenly and the case was immediately reported by him to the local animal husbandry agency. Based on the rapid test conducted by the agency, the chickens were found to be carrying the H5N1 virus.
Tjandra said that his ministry has taken specimens from all of the patients. The samples are being tested in a laboratory in Jakarta.
“We will find out the results soon,” he said.
Tjandra said all four of the patients were in relatively good condition and their influenza symptoms were not severe.
“We are hopeful that they are not infected with bird flu because patients’ white blood cell counts usually decline rapidly, but theirs are increasing,” he said.
In February, a 26-year-old man, identified only as M, from Kerawang, West Java, died shortly after developing influenza-like symptoms. Before he fell sick, M went to a local market to buy a chicken. He also frequently visited his parents’ house in Subang, an endemic area for the illness. The Health Ministry confirmed he was carrying H5N1.

Slaying the Viral Dragon
In Sipress' tale, David/man is doing his best to track the avian virus wherever it is hiding around the world, analyze its characteristics and, if lucky, find a way to prevent it with a vaccine. The Davids of the epidemiologic world belong to groups like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the CDC. They respond rapidly to rumors of flu in small villages, darting from Vietnam to Laos to Cambodia, Hong Kong, China and Indonesia, investigating the source of viruses and verifying their symptoms at the bedside and characteristics in the lab.
Sipress, economics editor at The Washington Post, traveled to nine Asian countries to research this book, acting like an eco-detective seeking the source of avian flu - formally called influenza A virus subtype H5N1.
His opening chapter leaves one wondering if this war is already lost before any major battles have been waged. As Sipress vividly describes in chapter one, Dowes Ginting, a 32-year-old Sumatran, is very sick and seeks care in a local hospital. Seeing other members of his family die in the hospital after having the same symptoms he has, Ginting flees to the hills, encountering (and possibly infecting) many people along the way. He seeks a cure from a local witch doctor and works hard to evade the WHO flu specialist who is tracking him. When they finally meet up, Ginting agrees to give Timothy Uyeki, MD, a throat sample but he refuses to go back to the hospital. After all, he has three more treatments left with the witch doctor!
Multiply this by millions of cases and Goliath will certainly turn the tables on David. Viruliferous birds all over Asia and their proximity to populous areas may make it impossible to contain any outbreak of H5N1.
But, in the name of quality patient care and global health, all healthcare professionals must rally around the Davids waging battle against these tiniest of enemies. This includes relentless infection control and vigilance when assessing patients. In this war against a killer, everyone is a David and everyone's efforts count.
How are you fighting the battle?
High-risk population can be exposed to avian influenza vaccine inoculation
United Daily News reporter Liu Huimin ╱ / immediate reports】 2011.03.03 12:27 am
International human avian flu (H5N1) outbreaks of success. Cambodia, Egypt last week, new communications 2 and 3 cases of human bird flu cases, everyone died in Cambodia 2, Egypt, and 1 death, 5 cases of suspected infection Jieyou access except poultry. Another Vietnam, Japan, Bangladesh and other countries are starting to recent poultry and wild birds spread the infection of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 outbreak.
Disease Control, Department of Health reminded to travel abroad should strengthen self-protection. H5N1 currently imports more than 60 million doses of influenza vaccine. If high risk, or areas frequented by people of avian flu, now until the end of August, can go to the Department of Municipal Hospital, Department of Health and travel immunization clinic for free vaccine.
Gene swapping by flu viruses
N. Gopal Raj
The H1N1 flu virus that set off the 2009 pandemic could create yet more trouble. Research from a Chinese group has indicated that if this virus were to swap genes with a bird flu virus circulating in poultry, it can produce progeny that easily infect laboratory mice and are more virulent than the two parental strains.
When two strains of bird flu infect the same host, they can readily swap genes, a process known as reassortment. The 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus was itself a triple reassortant, with its genes drawn from bird, human and animal strains.
This mix of genes created a virus that readily infected humans, was easily transmitted from one person to another, and to which most people had no immunity.
The preceding three flu pandemics that occurred during the 20{+t}{+h} century were also produced by viruses that had undergone reassortment.
In research being published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a team of scientists led by Jinhua Liu of the China Agricultural University in Beijing used laboratory techniques to create viruses with various combinations of genes drawn from the avian H9N2 virus and the pandemic H1N1.
Some 73 different reassortant viruses that replicated well in cultured cells were then tested on mice. Eight of those viruses were found to be more virulent than either of the parental strains, producing severe pneumonia in the animals.
Pigs, a mixing vessel
The worry is that such reassortment could take place in pigs, which have long been considered a ‘mixing vessel' as they can be infected by human as well as bird flu viruses.
The H1N1 virus that caused the 2009 pandemic seems to have undergone reassortment in pigs before making the leap to humans. The viruses that caused the previous three pandemics too appear to have been in some mammalian host, which may well have been the pig, before causing disease in humans.
There is already evidence that the 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus is infecting pigs and swapping genes with other flu viruses.
In a paper published in the journal Science last year, Vijaykrishna Dhanasekaran and others reported a novel reassortant virus that had been isolated from pigs in an abattoir in Hong Kong in January 2010. The reassortant virus combined genes from the H1N1 pandemic virus and a H1N2 virus. Swine infected with the new virus showed only mild illness.
It was not yet possible to predict what subtype of the flu virus would cause the next pandemic, said Dr. Vijaykrishna in an email.
Although more attention was paid to the H5N1 bird flu, the latest PNAS study clearly highlighted the fact that other flu subtypes that were circulating in poultry had the potential to start future pandemics.
The H9N2 virus, which had become the “underdog of avian influenza study,” had been detected virtually in every country in Asia. Studies showed that it had become endemic in poultry in East and South-East Asia (including China), India, Pakistan and some West Asian countries, he added.
Sustained transmission of avian viruses in pigs increased the possibility of mammalian adaptation, thereby increasing the risk of such a virus emerging in humans, observed Dr. Vijaykrishna. As such, it was very important to monitor the flu viruses that were circulating in pigs.
