DENPASAR-Bali Provincial Government claims to successfully deal with cases of bird flu this year so the decline in the number of cases and victims over the previous year.
"Management is handling the bird flu virus in Bali has been running very well so that it can suppress the number of cases and the victims," said Chief Medical Officer of Bali, I Nyoman Sutedja told reporters in Denpasar, on Saturday (12/17/2012).
With bird flu prevention management that is optimal, then the cases that arose during this sharp decline. Only, he's reluctant to mention the decrease in the percentage and number of cases of bird flu because it does not hold data but certainly there is a decrease.
Sutedja said the current developments in Bali recorded 57 cases are suspected. "2 people who died tested positive for bird flu during the year 2011," he added.
Against the suspect bird flu patients given Tamiflu them directly so that eventually all be helped.
Two people who died of bird flu from Bangli District since late to get treatment. The rest, says Suteja they can be handled properly. Now the concern is the monitoring of small traders.
They only have a few chickens at home but not well maintained so that potentially evil virus. He asserted, both Public Health and Animal Husbandry has also started to work a maximum of socialization, data collection, training farms to corporate governance. The goal, all farmers across the middle to upper
remote villages.
Despite a decline in cases, but it warned residents of possible outbreaks of the deadly virus. It might, terulangi bird flu attack again, if people do not obey the order and discipline within the existing rules such as maintaining the cleanliness of the chicken coop. http://news.okezone.com/read/2011/12/17/337/543786/kasus-flu-burung-di-bali-turun

Residents Defy Ban On Pork In Uganda
| Residents Defy Ban On Pork In Uganda - 15 December 2011 08:35:11 GMT |
Residents of Adjumani District in Uganada have ignored health warnings about the risks associated with eating pork from pigs killed by African swine fever.
According to AllAfrica.com, although the veterinary department placed a
quarantine on pigs, the animals killed by swine fever has risen from 60 to 120,
in just two weeks.
Security operatives and officials from the production department have arrested two residents of Patua Village for exhuming carcass of pigs for consumption. The suspects were caught smoking the carcass along with two of their colleagues who are still at large. The District Police Commander, Mr Fredrick Segirinya, said the suspects would be charged with malicious spread of disease. "We shall continue arresting those who will disobey the quarantine because we want to bring the rapid spread of the disease under control," he said. The District Veterinary Officer, Dr Williams Guma, said African swine fever was first reported in Ofua Sub-county but it has now spread to Pakelle Sub-county and Adjumani Town Council. He attributes the spread to defiance of the quarantine. "Most pig farmers don't want to make losses, as a result they smoke the pigs carcasses for sale cheaply instead of burying it one and half metres deep. This is very dangerous," he said. Ms Monica Itudria, who lost four pigs in a week to swine fever, said some farmers are deliberately spreading the disease by disposing carcass of the pigs openly. http://www.poultex.com/news.asp?article=11404 |

Mass death of crows creates puzzle and scare in Jharkhand #h5n1 #birdflu
Dec 17th, 2011 // No Comment
Jamshedpur: according to a number of reports in the past few weeks, thousands of crows have been dying in different parts of Jharkhand for reasons that are yet to be found. The panic has now resulted in a visit from a high-level joint team of the United Nations and Union government to Jharkhand recently. The panic is caused by the simple fact that crows tend to hover around human settlements and stay in close contact with humans. In apprehension, the state authorities have now issued a blanket alert to all the 24 districts, zoos and parks. A team consisting of H.R. Khanna, project co-ordinator of Food and Agriculture Organisation, United Nations, and A.B. Negi, assistant commissioner of the Centre’s animal husbandry department is currently visiting Jamshedpur, which is where the trouble seemed to have begun.
In a report sent to the Union agriculture ministry, the Indian Veterinary Research Institute’s (IVRI) Bhopal centre had held the avian influenza virus, H5N1, responsible for the crow deaths in Jharkhand. State coordinator of the Indian Bird Conservation Network (IBCN) Satya Prakash said the Union government had sent a team of experts to Jamshedpur and Bokaro to take blood samples of the dead crows and had mentioned that the crows died of H5N-1. Avian flu had been detected in chickens earlier. Carcasses were sent to the IVRI centre in Bareilly as well as National Institute of Virology, Pune, to identify the exact reasons behind the crow deaths here.
The curious thing about this episode is that no hens are dying, but only the crows. The zoos in Jharkhand have closed the aviary section and are cleaning enclosures and nearby areas with bleaching powder and spraying anti-virus liquid. Birds are being fed vitamins to boost immunity. East Singhbhum district officials have also directed scavengers to dig 2ft deep pits to bury crow carcasses.
According to K.K. Sharma, an ornithologist from Jamshedpur who first sounded the alarm on the crow deaths in Jharkhand in just three months, the numbers of crows is 40 per cent down. Sharma is however skeptical about H5N1 virus as the cause. He says that there was a virus scare in the case of vultures deaths as well but finally after only 1 per cent of vultures were left, it was discovered that diclofenac, used to treat cattle, was the culprit all along. Satya Prakash, state co-ordinator of Indian Bird Conservation Network affiliated to NGO Bombay Natural History Society however says ‘the International Union for Conservation of Nature will declare crows as endangered only if deaths are reported across Asia. We need not worry about that. Let’s focus on imbalance in local environment.’ http://www.bihardays.com/6jhrkhnd/mass-death-crows-creates-puzzle-scare-jharkhand/

Zoo authorities in Jharkhand prohibit visitors from going near enclosures
Ranchi , Sat, 17 Dec 2011ANI
Ranchi, Dec 17 (ANI): Authorities in Ranchi zoo prohibited the visitors from going near the enclosures after bird flu alert was sounded in the state.
The alert was made after the death of several crows in the state were reported after hundreds of crows were found dead in various parts of Jharkhand including Jamshedpur, Bokaro and Hazaribagh.
While interacting with the mediapersons on Saturday veterinary doctor at Bhagwan Birsa Biological Park, Ranchi, Dinesh Kumar said they recently found two dead crows in the biological park.
"As far as the death of birds is concerned we are receiving information about the death of crows but the reason of the death has not been confirmed by the officials. As far as I believe the crows are dying because of some mysterious disease. Our bird department is very big and there are several important birds that is why we are taking precautionary measures," said Kumar.
The zoo officials are doing everything to prevent the virus from infecting the birds and animals in the zoo. They have curbed the movement of the visitors and are disinfecting the cages of all the birds and animals.
"See the death of crows is a matter of concern that is why we are taking precautions and security measures, but we don't know how this disease will spread in other birds and humans. But the situation is worrisome," said P.K Verma, director of the Birsa zoo.
The zoo authorities are giving antibiotics and other supplements to increase the immunity of the birds

hand, foot and mouth Virus Sickens Nearly 100,000, Claims Dozens Of Lives In Vietnam
Virus Sickens Nearly 100,000, Claims Dozens Of Lives In Vietnam
HANOI, Vietnam (December 16, 2011)--An outbreak of hand, foot and mouth disease in Vietnam has killed 156 people, most of them children, and sickened more than 96,000 through late November.
An official at the Ministry of Health says the average number of weekly cases dropped from about 3,000 in September to 2,460 in November.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a travel alert Monday that urged people who are visiting Vietnam to protect themselves from the disease by practicing "healthy personal hygiene."
This year's outbreak is a sharp uptick from recent years.
Since 2008, about 10,000 to 15,000 cases were reported per year, claiming the lives of 20 to 30 children annually.
The common childhood illness typically causes little more than a fever and rash, and most recover quickly.

Indi-Centre to launch national programme for checking brain fever
Centre to launch national programme for checking brain fever
Posted on: 17 Dec 2011, 12:17 AM
National prog to control brain fever
New Delhi: In a bid to deal with the scourge of brain fever gripping the country, a national level programme will soon be launched. The Health Ministry along with four other ministries will present a proposal for making a policy in their budget for the same.
According to a senior Health Ministry official, the Group of Ministers (GoM) has reached on a consensus in this regard and a policy will soon be finalized in the GoM meeting to be held next week.
At present, the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) under the Health Ministry is responsible for dealing with the disease but under the new programme, Rural Development Ministry, Women and Child Welfare Ministry, Urban Development Ministry and Social Justice and Empowerment Ministry along with the Ministry of Health will be handed over the charge of controlling the spread of the fatal disease.
According to the official, the previous cases of brain fever were diagnosed to be Japanese Encephalitis spread by mosquitoes, but now majority of the cases are found to be of antro-virus, spread by drinking contaminated water. Therefore, the new programme will be designed on a wider scale and not only health facilities will provided for the treatment of patients under the programme but arrangements will also be made for its prevention and rehabilitation of the affected children.
It may be noted that the brain fever which usually afflicts small children has claimed the lives of hundreds of kids in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar every year. The new programme will enable setting up of special schools for the affected kids. Also, clean drinking water facilities will also be provided to all under the programme. http://post.jagran.com/centre-to-launch-national-programme-for-checking-brain-fever-1324061254

US limits use of chimps in medical study
Washington: The US announced on Thursday that it will sharply restrict the use of chimpanzees in future publicly funded invasive medical research and plans to review current projects involving chimps. Chimpanzees' similarity with people 'demands special consideration and respect', the National Institutes of Health director, Francis Collins, said, while pointing to breakthroughs that came from studies using animals.
A review carried out by the Institute of Medicine at the NIH's request concluded that chimps are no longer needed for biomedical research.
Chimpanzees should only be used in projects deemed vital to improving human health and in which there is no other way to pursue the goal, the institute said this week.
If chimps are used, the institute said, they should be kept in conditions that are as close as possible to those of their natural habitat.
The Institute of Medicine panel that examined the issue raised no objections to observation of chimps' behaviour and interaction in furtherance of prevention and treatment of human ailments.

Statewide zoo alert on crow deaths #h5n1 #birdflu
Statewide zoo alert on crow deaths
| ||
| A.S.R.P. MUKESH | ||
The death of 4,000 crows across the state in three
months prompted a high-level joint team of the United Nations and Union
government to arrive in Jharkhand on Thursday to probe why the phenomenon was
limited to home scavengers, and spurred the state to issue a blanket alert to
all the 24 districts, zoos and parks.
A team comprising H.R. Khanna, project co-ordinator of
Food and Agriculture Organisation, United Nations, and A.B. Negi, assistant
commissioner of the Centre’s animal husbandry department, which reached Ranchi
on Thursday, is currently in Jamshedpur.
Earlier, tests at Jamshedpur — considered to be the
epicentre of crow deaths — revealed conflicting results. National Institute of
Virology, Pune, drew a blank, the state animal husbandry department dithered
about citing a specific virus and Indian Veterinary Research Institute in
Bareilly said H5N1, one of the deadliest avian virus strains, was the culprit.
Director of state animal husbandry department A.G.
Bandyopadhyay told The Telegraph that the visit of Negi and Khanna was an
attempt to find out why only crows were dying, not poultry. “No hens are dying,
only crows,” he said, adding all animal husbandry officials across the districts
were put on 24X7 alert to monitor the deaths.
The state forest department is also worried. “The
forest department has served a blanket alert to zoos and parks in Jharkhand to
protect birds and animals from infection,” said chief conservator of forests
(wildlife) A.K. Gupta.
It may be a knee-jerk response, but some zoos are more
alarmed than others.
“We have isolated the aviary. We are taking no
chances,” Ranchi-based Birsa Munda Biological Park director P.K. Verma said. “We
have temporarily closed the aviary and are cleaning enclosures and nearby areas
with bleaching powder and spraying anti-virus liquid. Birds are being fed
vitamins to boost immunity,” said he.
Tata Steel Zoological Park, Jamshedpur, however, has
adopted a wait-and-watch mode. But, East Singhbhum district officials have
directed scavengers to dig 2ft deep pits to bury crow carcasses.
In Dhanbad district, too, animal husbandry officer
Abhay Prasad Singh stressed on “digging pits and sprinkling lime” to dispose
carcasses.
Though all experts do not confirm bird flu, the fear
about human threat and possible pandemic is running high. However, a bulletin of
World Health Organisation (see box) says the worry is overrated.
Environment bodies, zoo authorities and ornithologists
are deliberating on four main angles — the exact reason behind deaths, human and
animal peril, the magnitude of dwindling numbers and finally, long-term
ecological impact if the bird becomes endangered.
Ecologically, it hints towards a major imbalance.
If a study conducted by Jamshedpur ornithologist K.K.
Sharma — who first sounded the alarm on the deaths — is to be believed,
Jharkhand had around 50,000 house crows, but in just three months, the numbers
are 40 per cent down.
“Till last week’s count, in Jamshedpur only, from
6,000 crows, the steel city now has 4,000,” Sharma said, adding he was sceptical
about H5N1 virus as the cause.
“In the case of vultures, too, everyone spoke about a
virus scare. With 1 per cent of vultures left, we realised that diclofenac, used
to treat cattle, is behind the deaths,” he said.
He said crows were winging behind vultures and eagles
to oblivion.
Wildlife activist D.S. Srivastava said crows were
friends of man. “They are scavengers who clean up pathogens from garbage near
homes, protecting children and elderly who have less immunity,” said he.
Hazaribagh-based Satya Prakash, state co-ordinator of
Indian Bird Conservation Network affiliated to NGO Bombay Natural History
Society, said matters were not so serious. “The International Union for
Conservation of Nature will declared crows as endangered only if deaths are
reported across Asia. We need not worry about that. Let’s focus on imbalance in
local environment,” said Prakash. http://telegraphindia.com/1111217/jsp/jharkhand/story_14893217.jsp

Birsa zoo aviary closed to stem #H5N1 spread
Birsa zoo aviary closed to stem H5N1 spread
- Friday, 16 December 2011 23:12
- Adreesh Bhattacharya | Ranchi
The increase in the number of deaths of crows in the State has put Birsa zoo authorities on high alert. The aviary of the biological park has been closed down for the time being and the Government has imposed a notice highlighting the issue and has asked the authorities to shut the aviary so that the virus is not passed on to humans.
Notices have been put up all over the park informing visitors about the avian flu outbreak and requesting people not to litter garbage so that the entry of the crows in the zoo premises can be controlled. Cleanliness is the main priority of the zoo authorities right now.
There are 10-15 cleaners that can be seen all over the premises taking care of litter. Earlier they did not receive any confirmation letter regarding bird flu but now, the H5N1 outbreak is becoming a panicky issue for the authorities.
There are various precautions that are being taken by the zoo authorities to restrict the entry of crows in the premises and prevent the spread of bird flu. Director, Birsa Munda Biological Park, PK Verma said, “We are keeping a proper check on the entry of crows by proper disposal of waste and we make sure that the garbage is properly burnt. The cleaners have been alerted all over the zoo.”
Proper medications of the birds are also being ensured by the authorities. “Antibiotics are given to the birds and antiviral drugs are sprayed both inside and outside the cages. Some medicines are mixed in the food and given to the birds. Soil treatment is done by the zoo authorities inside the cage.
H5N1 is transferrable to humans therefore the aviary needed a temporary closure. But we can take a sigh of relief about the fact that birds have neither died nor fallen sick”, added Verma.
A central team of animal husbandry from Bhopal is taking stock of the situation. http://www.dailypioneer.com/state-editions/ranchi/28314-birsa-zoo-aviary-closed-to-stem-h5n1-spread.html

up an investigation into the cause of 146 harbor seal deaths along the
New England coast since September [2011] after influenza A virus was
identified in 5 of the seals. On 4 Nov [2011], NOAA announced it had
declared the seal deaths an "unusual mortality event," which
authorizes the federal agency to mobilize additional resources in the
investigation.
The declaration followed a consultation with the Working Group on
Marine Mammal Unusual Mortality Events, a panel of international
experts established under the Marine Mammal Protection Act to monitor
and investigate marine mammal health concerns.
Between 1 Sept 2011 and 3 Nov 2011, 146 seal strandings were reported
in Maine, New Hampshire, and northern Massachusetts -- more than 3
times the average number of strandings for that time of year. Most of
the animals were harbor seals less than a year old.
Samples from 5 seals analyzed at the New England Aquarium tested
positive for influenza A virus. Test results for several other viral
pathogens and biotoxins were negative.
Additional evaluations were under way to determine whether the
influenza virus has played a role in the deaths.
An investigation team of marine mammal experts will work closely with
NOAA, New England Stranding Network partners, and the Working Group on
Marine Mammal Unusual Mortality Events to identify and characterize
the specific type of influenza A virus found in these animals.
People were being advised not to allow their dogs to approach stranded
seals, as seals and dogs can infect each other with diseases, NOAA
noted.
