Bangladesh-Call to disinfect markets ignored #H5N1 #BIRDFLU

Sat, Mar 10th, 2012 2:38 pm BdST

Dhaka, Mar 10 (bdnews24.com) – Drive to clean Dhaka's kitchen markets has not started yet, despite health experts' serious call to disinfect those after H5N1 avian influenza lurched from poultry farms to slaughterhouses. The Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) has recently confirmed the presence of the virus commonly known as bird flu in the capital's different kitchen markets after three workers were reported positive with H5N1. They informed the authorities concerned to start cleaning drive to wipe out the virus from the environment. The detection also prompted health experts to call for a change in what they term 'dangerous' practices of selling and slaughtering poultry just anywhere in the market or open spaces without taking any sanitary measures. Visiting different markets on Thursday and Friday, it is learnt that Dhaka City Corporation that collects tax from those markets do not disinfect the market. Workers have been seen working in the filthy environment strewn with chicken giblets and wings in the blood and mud-strained floor. Hemayet Uddin, a worker of Gulistan Kaptan Bazar market, said he had not seen anyone from City Corporation. "We clean on our own," he said. Employees said they never used gloves while cleaning chickens, though experts have repeatedly advised that direct contact with poultry could increase the possibility of infection. "We just wash our hands (after slaughtering and processing)," said Hemayet Uddin, a worker of a poultry slaughterhouse at a kitchen market in Jatrabari. He said their slaughterhouse had not undertaken any precautions against the threat of bird flu. "My sir (owner) did not instruct me to prepare anything," he said. The chief technical adviser for the Food and Agriculture Organisation Mat Yamage told bdnews24.com that they always advised through Department of Livestock to disinfect the wet markets. "It (disinfecting) is very important to arrest the virus transmission," he said adding that that they can clean at least once a week. He suggested steps to improve sanitation of slaughterhouses as it will be difficult to change the tradition of selling live-birds in Bangladesh. Coordinator of One Health Bangladesh Nitish Chandra Debnath said there should have been a collaborative approach among all relevant departments. "The local government ministry should take up the issue seriously at this moment." Chief health officer of Dhaka South City Corporation Brig Gen Md Abdullah-Al-Harun said they would start the cleaning drive from Sunday. "We have decided it in a ministry meeting on Thursday," he told bdnews24.com. He said their staff on the ground had been told to monitor live-bird markets from now on. He, however, would not comment on why they were delaying the start of the drive. The first human case in Bangladesh was detected in May 2008 after an outbreak in a poultry farm in March 2007. But the latest detection is worrying experts as four strains of flu virus – H5N1, H1N1, H3N2 and H9N2 – are circulating in the air and the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation in Aug last year warned of a possible major resurgence of bird flu as a mutant strain of the H5N1 virus is spreading in Asia including Bangladesh. World Health Organisation's (WHO) influenza expert Dr ASM Alamgir said they still consider H5N1 as pandemic potential virus. "So, countries should focus on preventive measures," he said adding that slaughterhouse workers should use mask and gloves while slaughtering and processing chickens. "There should have been a separate room for slaughtering." He said these issues have been discussed in several meetings, but none of it has been implemented. "The government could pilot the practice in one or two markets," he said. IEDCR senior scientist Dr M Mushtuq Husain termed the live-bird market a 'dangerous' place for spreading the deadly virus in the country. "We should stop it," he said. "Slaughterhouses should be isolated from public and those involve in slaughtering must wear protective gears like masks, gloves, and apron to prevent the infection. Due to lack of bio-security measures such as using solid fences and nets to quarantine infected flocks, and disinfecting footwear, experts say H5N1 is widespread in Bangladesh's poultry farms. Over two million chickens have been culled since the first outbreak in 2007. IEDCR that oversees human infections advises people wash egg shells and suggests consuming well-cooked poultry products. It also urged not to litter giblets and dead birds just anywhere and maintain personal hygiene – cough into the crook of elbow and wash hands with soap often. The IEDCR director Prof Mahmudur Rahman said we are lucky enough as the strain of H5N1 that circulates in Bangladesh is less virulent, but it can change into another class, which is highly infectious to human. "You cannot predict anything about the virus circulation," he warned. According to WHO, the first human infection from H5N1 was detected in 1997 in Hong Kong. So far 349 people died from the virus. http://bdnews24.com/details.php?id=219967&cid=2

Bangladesh-3 market workers infected with bird flu #H5N1 #BIRDFLU

3 market workers infected with bird flu Mon, Mar 5th, 2012 9:10 pm BdST

Nurul Islam Hasib bdnews24.com Senior Correspondent Dhaka, Mar 5 (bdnews24.com)—Detection of three new human infections with the deadly H5NI strain of bird flu in a week has set alarm bells ringing as scientists have found evidence of the virus in the live-bird market in crowded Dhaka. The Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) confirmed a human case on Feb 26 when a worker of a live-bird market in southern part of the capital was tested H5N1 positive at the IEDCR's surveillance site. Its director Prof Mahmudur Rahman told bdnews24.com that they had informed the government's Department of Livestock right away and suggested 'immediate' steps to disinfect wet markets. bdnews24.com saw no cleaning drive but learned the livestock department fixed a technical committee meeting for Wednesday instead of beginning to disinfect the market. In the meantime, the IEDCR that oversees human infections of bird flu disclosed on Monday that another two cases were confirmed on Sunday night in their lab. "They are also live-bird market workers," Prof Rahman told bdnews24.com and added that they expected the livestock department to move quickly for the sake of public health safety. "The virus's presence in live-bird market means it is now even closer to people," he added. A scientist with the IEDCR told bdnews24.com that they had run into evidence suggesting presence of the H5N1 virus in the live-bird market's garbage, as well. The virus has the potential to cause severe illness in human with a high fatality rate. "We are lucky as the strain (clade 2.2) of H5N1 that circulates in Bangladesh is less virulent, but it can change into another class (2.1), which is highly infectious to human," the IEDCR director said. According to World Health Organisation, across the globe H5N1 killed 349 out of its 592 victims, except the latest two detected in Bangladesh. Livestock authorities could not be reached immediately. Chief veterinary officer Mosaddek Hossain, who oversees poultry infections of bird flu, declined comment when bdnews24.com approached him at around 6.30pm. Prof Nitish C Debnath, FAO expert on avian influenza, told bdnews24.com that the government should launch 'wet market cleaning' drive at this moment. "All should be vigilant to prevent sick poultries from entering into the market," he warned. With four strains of flu virus – H5N1, H1N1, H3N2 and H9N2 – circulating in Bangladesh, the Food and Agriculture Organisation in Aug last year warned of a possible major resurgence of bird flu. It said a mutant strain of the H5N1 virus is spreading in Asia including Bangladesh. The government has confirmed first case of human infection with H5N1 in 2007, and two cases were reported in 2011. IEDCR advises people wash egg shells and suggests consuming well-cooked poultry products. It also urged not to litter giblets and dead birds just anywhere and maintain personal hygiene – cough into the crook of elbow and wash hands with soap often. The first human infection from H5N1 was detected in 1997 in Hong Kong.   http://bdnews24.com/details.php?id=219613&cid=2

Bangladesh-Bird flu affected chickens being supplied to local markets #H5N1 #BIRDFLU

Dhaka, Saturday February 4, 2012

 

Bird flu affected chickens are being supplied to the local markets due to lack of monitoring and proper policy support to the poultry farmers by the authority, said sector insiders.

They said the farmers are selling their infected chickens in the markets hiding the information as the government does not compensate the farmers adequately.
The experts warned that if sick poultry birds are supplied to the markets it will create a severe health hazard to the people as it is very contagious and harmful for humans.

The outbreak of bird flu this season is the highest since the first appearance of the disease in the country according to the Bangladesh Poultry Industries' Association (BPIA).

The farmers said almost everyday new farms are being attacked by the avian influenza (bird flu). Last week a good number of poultry farms in Netrokona, Kishorganj, Pabna, Brahamanbaria, Feni, Cox's Bazar, Bogra have been affected by the virus.
Maximum number of poultry farms in the country has been affected by the bird flu, said BPIA Joint Secretary General Khandokar Mohsin. "Normally the disease breaks out in the beginning of winter and now it is the end of the season".

BPIA Joint Secretary General said though the government has allocated compensation for the bird flu affected poultry farms, it is very insufficient and irregular.

He also said the authority does not include many of the bird flu affected farms in the list for compensation. So usually the poultry farmers do not report to the department of livestock and incur loss, he added.

The government has allocated Tk 20.0 million in the current fiscal year to compensate for the bird flu affected farms but until now the farm owners did not get any money.

"Due to financial crises many professional and skilled poultry farmers have closed their business last year," he added.

"It is really a fearful situation for our health sector but the government is lingering the problem from several years," said, Kazi Farms chairman and Bangladesh Breeders Association ex President Kazi Jahidul Hasan.

The country's largest poultry producer said Bangladesh is one of the critical five bird flu affected countries in the world which is yet to introduce it vaccine.

But other most risky countries like India, Vietnam, China and Egypt introduced vaccine to prevent the disease, he added.

The the is gradually becoming chronic in the local poultry sector, said Mr Hasan adding that as the government's method for bio-security have already failed, the authority should introduce vaccine to prevent the disease immediately.
He also mentioned that the production of baby chickens decreased sharply due to outbreak of bird flu.

Chairman of Microbiology Department of Dhaka University Dr Anwar Hossain said though the virus does not remain in cooked meat but those who are handling the live chickens and fresh meats will be affected by the virus.

He also warned that if bird flu virus and normal influenza virus mixes, it can create a new mutiliated virus and may be very harmful.
"So there is no alternative but to isolate of the chicken to protect the health of the people from the disease," he added.

Department of Livestock Services control room officials said 51,757 chickens were culled while 22,649 eggs were destroyed in January this year in five farms located in Manikganj, Dhaka, Sirajgonj and Narayanganj due to the outbreak of bird flu.

According to the BPIA, the country had 114,763 poultry farms in 2009 but following the spread of bird flu, the farms reduced to 74,000 in 2010 and 64,000 in 2011.

The authorities culled nearly 0.579 million chickens while it destroyed about 570,000 eggs from 171 poultry farms across the country last year.

Department of Livestock Services Director Dr Musaddique Hossain said for preventing the disease the department has already taken up various initiatives.

"We have taken awareness creating programmes and trained the poultry farmers how to save their chickens the flu," he said.

Bangladesh destroys 140,000 birds, eggs after flu virus detection since November #H5N1 #BIRDFLU

16:19, February 01, 2012

DHAKA, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- Bangladesh's authorities destroyed nearly 140,000 birds and eggs until last month since mid November when this season's first outbreak of bird flu was detected, an official said Wednesday.

Ataur Rahman, assistant director at the control room of Bangladesh's Fisheries and Live Stock Department, told Xinhua that "Some 67,327 birds, including 12,714 at the latest on Tuesday, were culled in about a dozen flu-hit farms since the middle of November last year."

During the same period, he said, "A total of 69,390 eggs were also destroyed."
An official had earlier said risky factors of bird flu disease usually rise with the fall in temperature during January and February in Bangladesh which is considered a high-risk country with respect to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) as the South Asian nation of over 160 million people is especially vulnerable to virus perpetuation because of insufficient biosecurity, rearing of chickens and ducks together, selling of live birds, and deficient disease surveillance.

Bangladesh's poultry farmers during winter season in 2009 and 2010 had suffered to some extent from the outbreak of the disease. The disease was first detected in Bangladesh in a poultry farm near capital Dhaka in March 2007. The situation deteriorated later on as the virus spread fast across the country which was reported in 47 districts between December 2007 and March 2008.  http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/90782/90880/7717135.html

Bangladesh Bird flu outbreaks again in Bangladesh, 4 farms tested positive in one month #h5n1 #birdflu

Bird flu outbreaks again in Bangladesh, 4 farms tested positive in one month
2011-12-27 12:48:34 GMT

DHAKA, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) -- Chickens at a poultry farm in Bangladesh's Meherpur district, some 240 km west of capital Dhaka, have been tested positive for the highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu, an official said Tuesday.

Ataur Rahman, an assistant director at the control room of Fisheries and Live Stock Department, told Xinhua that "Some 1,803 birds of the commercial farm were culled on Monday night."

Some 994 eggs were also destroyed following the outbreak of the disease, he said.

This is the fourth case in Bangladesh since the middle of November that mass poultry culling has occurred following the detection of the avian flu virus. Officials said in some cases there was a particularly infective strain.

Prior to the latest culling and destroying incident, Rahman had said Bangladesh's authorities culled nearly 14,000 chickens and destroyed about 50,000 eggs from three farms since this season's first outbreak of bird flu was detected last month in a farm.

The disease has so far spread to four Bangladesh districts, including central Manikganj and western Rajbarbi, since its resurrection last month. About a week ago, a farm in Southern Bagerhat district was the scene of the latest case of bird flu in this season. The subsequent spread of the virus is being called a pandemic by some veterinary experts.

An official of the Fisheries and Live Stock Department said last week "although we don't expect that there will be a massive outbreak of avian flu this time, we can't rule out the possibility of major resurrection of the disease in the dangerous winter season, which is the high time for the outbreak of the disease."

The official who did not like to be named said the department has also instructed its officials to motivate farmers for adopting all required preventive measures since the disease was found reemerging last month to contain its outbreak.

There is also an instruction for field-level officials for proper culling, destruction, disposal and decontamination immediately after diagnosis, he added.

Bangladesh is considered a high-risk country with respect to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) as the South Asian nation of over 160 million people is especially vulnerable to virus perpetuation because of insufficient biosecurity, rearing of chickens and ducks together, selling of live birds, and deficient disease surveillance.
Bangladesh's poultry farmers during winter season in 2009 and 2010 had suffered to some extent from the outbreak of the disease. The disease was first detected in Bangladesh in a poultry farm near capital Dhaka in March 2007. The situation deteriorated later on as the virus spread fast across the country which was reported in 47 districts between December 2007 and March 2008.

The first bird flu in human body in Bangladesh was detected on May 21, 2008, when the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States diagnosed a 16-month-old Bangladesh child as being infected with H5N1. The child recovered later. http://english.sina.com/life/2011/1227/426728.html

DHAKA, Dec. 20 (Xinhua) -- Bangladesh's authorities have culled nearly 14,000 chickens and destroyed about 50,000 eggs since this season's first outbreak of bird flu was detected last month, an official said Tuesday.
The government's bird flu control room official told Xinhua that "some 13,727 chickens were culled since its resurrection last month."
Fresh outbreak of bird flu was detected in Bangladesh in the second week of November with arrival of winter season.
Ataur Rahman, assistant director at the control room of Fisheries and Live Stock Department, said some 12,762 chickens were culled in two commercial farms in central Manikganj and western Rajbarbi districts.
He said some 965 birds, including 400 at the latest on Monday, were culled in two flu-hit farms so far this month. "A total of 44, 756 eggs were also destroyed since the first outbreak in mid November," he added.
The country's Fisheries and Live Stock Department has strengthened its surveillance to contain further spread of the infectious disease -- H5N1, said Rahaman.
He said the department had instructed its officials to motivate farmers to adopt all required preventive measures since the disease was found to reemerge last month.
So far, the disease has spread to four districts of the South Asian country since its resurrection last month. There is also instruction for field-level officials for proper culling, destruction, disposal and decontamination immediately after diagnosis.
With the fall in temperature in January and February, risky factors of bird flu disease will continue to rise in Bangladesh, said another official who asked to be unnamed.
"Although we don't expect that there will be a massive outbreak of avian flu this time but we can't rule out the possibility of major resurrection of the disease in the dangerous winter season, which is the high time for outbreak of the disease," he said.
The official added the fresh detections indicate that the virus is still active and may spread to other parts of the country.
Bangladesh's poultry farmers also suffered from the outbreak of the disease during winter season in 2009 and 2010.
The bird flu was first detected in Bangladesh in a poultry farm near capital Dhaka in March 2007. The situation deteriorated later on as the virus spread fast across the country and was reported in 47 districts between December 2007 and March 2008.
The first bird flu in human body in Bangladesh was detected on May 21, 2008. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States diagnosed a 16-month-old Bangladesh child as being infected with H5N1 who later recovered.    http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/health/2011-12/20/c_131317569.htm
