FAO skeptical of H5N1 attack on crows #H5N1 #BIRDFLU

UN experts sceptical of H5N1 attack on crows
- 2-day workshop on influenza threats; animal lab in Kanke on anvil

The lethal avian influenza virus H5N1 may not be responsible for crow deaths in Jharkhand, a team from the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations said on Thursday.
The observation is in direct contradiction of lab reports from Indian Veterinary Research Institute’s (IVRI) Bareilly centre, which after testing dead crow samples last December issued an H5N1 alert.

Paul White, the officer-in-charge of the FAO team currently touring Jharkhand, insisted that if the virus were indeed H5N1, it would have spread to other animals and also human beings. His claim is contrary to a theory of possible mutation that can restrict a viral strain to a particular species.
“It is hard to digest that H5N1 is responsible for crow deaths (more than 4,000 scavengers have died across Jharkhand in the past three months). The birds died of attack on their brains, which can be because of some disease in this particular species of scavenger, old age or toxic contaminants. We are studying it all,” White, who is in the state for the third time in quick succession, said. He added special teams were spending time in Jharkhand to understand the local ecology in a better way.
The UN organisation on Thursday kicked off a two-day technical workshop for veterinary professionals and experts from four neighbouring states in eastern India — Jharkhand, Odisha, Bihar and Chhattisgarh. The aim is to train them on ways to identify influenza threats and deal with them.
Director of animal husbandry department A.G. Bandopadhyay said 35 doctors from Jharkhand, five from Chhattisgarh and 10 from Bihar were attending the event. “Representatives from Odisha could not join us today because of a flu outbreak there,” he added.
The training also assumes importance for Jharkhand as the state is soon expected to boast a state-of-the-art diagnostic laboratory for animals.
“A BSL (biosafety level) 2 lab is coming up in Kanke, which will be on a par with international facilities. Construction is over and we are in the process of installing high-end equipment,” Shailendra Tiwari, a scientist in the animal husbandry department, said.  http://telegraphindia.com/1120120/jsp/jharkhand/story_15028486.jsp

Mass crow deaths in Paradip trigger panic #h5n1 #birdflu

Mass crow deaths in Paradip trigger panic


KENDRAPADA: Death of many crows in the port town of Paradip on Sunday and Monday has triggered panic among residents, who have been advised by forest and veterinary officials not to touch the carcasses.
"Around 50 crows died in Paradip on Sunday and Monday. People of the affected areas were instructed not to handle the dead crows without gloves. They were also instructed to bury the dead crows by digging deep holes so that the disease cannot spread to more areas," said Dr Premananda Rout, chief district veterinary officer (CDVO) of Jagatsinghpur on Monday.
"The panic is caused by the simple fact that crows tend to hover over human settlements and stay in close contact with humans. Recently many crows have died due to the deadly bird flu disease or H5N1 virus in areas of Jharkhand, bordering Odisha," Rout said.

A two member team of Animal Disease Research Laboratory (ADRL), under the leadership of Dr Chita Ranhan Swain, the project director of ADRL, and Dr Jagadish Mohanty, collected samples of 10 dead crows in Paradip on Monday, which will be sent to Bhopal's Indian Veterinary Research Institute to ascertain the cause of the crows' largescale death, Rout said. "It is very difficult to comment on reasons behind the deaths till we receive a detailed report, expected in a week's time. We are taking suitable measures and seeking views of experts about the deaths of crows," he said.
"Crows are scavengers. The authority is not taking steps to protect the scavengers. Crows are a rarity now," said Sudhanshu Parida, president of the district unit of Peoples For Animal. He demanded that the scavenger be included in the schedule of protected species under the Wildlife Protection Act and the government take steps to protect crows, which may soon become extinct due to the negligent attitude of the forest and animal husbandry departments.
Parida pointed out crows offer many services to mankind. "They are scavengers who clean up pathogens from garbage near homes, protecting children and elderly who have less immunity," he said.
He also mentioned a religious connection with the bird, which he said plays a vital role in Hindu funerals. "Crows during obsequies (shraddh) are offered a portion of food, an act supposed to benefit the departed soul," Parida informed.

Jamshedpur -12 dead in W Singhbhum in mysterious viral attack #h5n1 #birdflu

....no mention of coughing in the dead crow zone


12 dead in W Singhbhum in mysterious viral attack
At least a dozen people are dead while several others have fallen ill following the outbreak of a mysterious disease in several villages of Tonto block in the mineral-rich West Singhbhum district, about 40 km from the district headquarters, over the past week.
An unknown virus is tormenting residents for the past one month. A mysterious fever which causes drop in platelet count and gives rise to dengue-like symptoms is baffling doctors and heath officials. Tests performed on blood samples sent to National Centre for Disease Control, New Delhi, and School of Tropical Disease, Kolkata, have confirmed dengue and chikungunya. However, the health department is not ruling out possibilities of an unknown viral attack.


“This mysterious strain of virus must be identified. It is leading to drop in platelet and leukocyte counts but all test reports for dengue are showing negative results,” said a health department official. The district health department has announced steps to check the casualty rate but adequate steps haven’t been taken so far.
Deputy Commissioner K Srinivasan said senior officials of the health department are inquiring into the matter. “The administration learnt about the matter through media reports. Senior officials of health department are looking into the matter,” Srinivasan said. The DC, however, refused to speak on the apparent cause behind the casualties.
Earlier, officials at the district civil surgeon’s office said a medical team led by the district medical officer has been rushed to the block to provide adequate medical treatment to ailing villagers. A few villagers have been admitted to Chaibasa Sadar Hospital.
“A medical team is camping in the affected area distributing necessary medical help to affected villagers,” said an official, adding that more teams are likely to be sent to the affected block. However, the civil surgeon himself was not available for comments.
The administration has not concluded the exact cause behind the mysterious death of villagers. It has decided to send the sample of the contaminated water to the lab to ascertain the cause behind the casualties.
“Diarrhoea could be one reason, so the department has decided to send a sample of the contaminated pond water from the affected area to the lab for examination,” informed an official.
About five months ago, ten people died of diarrhoea in Kanskel village under Birkel panchayat limits in Gudri block of the district. “In 2009 it was swine flu and in 2010 it was dengue and this year we are confronting a viral fever outbreak. We are sure that the visit of an experts’ team will help us determine the nature of the new disease,” Swaran Singh said.
“I have never seen an outbreak of such a disease in my medical career spanning over three decades. While the number of dengue cases is rising everyday, this new virus which is yet to be identified has made things more complex,” UK Srivastava, a prominent city doctor, said.
The spread of the mysterious disease has become a cause of concern for the medical fraternity and for citizens. Doctors say that this unknown strain of virus causes a steep fall in leukocyte and thrombocyte counts in the body apart from a drop in the number of blood platelets.  http://www.dailypioneer.com/state-editions/ranchi/30653-12-dead-in-w-singhbhum-in-mysterious-viral-attack.html

Patna-Docs on alert over avian deaths #H5N1

Docs on alert over avian deaths

 
Patna, Dec. 22: The State Health Society, Bihar, has issued an advisory to civil surgeons to keep a tab on unusual deaths of birds in their respective districts following the outbreak of avian influenza in Jharkhand.
According to sources in the society, the step has been taken as hundreds of crows have died in Jharkhand because of avian influenza since November.
"The crows first started dying mysteriously in Jam-shedpur district. This was followed by deaths in Ranchi, Bokaro, Khunti, Sahebganj and other districts of Jharkhand. We have asked civil surgeons to be alert and keep an eye on any such incident in our state. Letters have been issued to them and we are getting updates on a daily basis," a senior official of the society said today.
"The situation is alarming in Jharkhand. Samples of dead crows from Jharkhand sent to Bhopal for laboratory tests were found infected with strains of H5N1 virus. This confirmed outbreak of avian influenza in Jharkhand," the official added.
Patna civil surgeon Dr Lakhendra Prasad said he has asked all primary health centres and other hospitals in the district to maintain a daily record of any unusual bird death.
"All veterinary hospitals have been asked to send details of bird deaths on a daily basis. So far, no unusual incident has been reported from any part of Patna district," Prasad said.
According to sources, avian influenza A (H5N1) ' commonly called bird flu ' is caused by a virus sub-type that occurs mainly in birds. The disease is contagious among birds and can be fatal.
There have been instances of human beings getting infected with the virus.
"In most of the cases, people having direct or close contact with H5N1-infected poultry or H5N1-contaminated surfaces contracted the disease. The H5N1 strain of bird flu is regarded highly pathogenic and can also cause disease and death in humans. However, most victims contract the disease through close contact with affected birds," said a veterinary doctor.
Last month, teams from the Bareilly and Bhopal wings of Indian Veterinary Research Institute had collected samples of dead scavengers from Jamshedpur.
In their reports to the Jharkhand animal husbandry department and the East Singhbhum district surveillance office, the teams had hinted at possible human affliction.  http://in.news.yahoo.com/docs-alert-over-avian-deaths-000000806.html

PIL takes crow death cases to high court #h5n1

PIL takes crow death cases to high court

The alarming phenomenon of crow deaths in the state capital and Jamshedpur was brought to the notice of Jharkhand High Court on Thursday.
A city-based journalist with a vernacular daily filed a public interest litigation against the government for not taking steps to protect the scavengers. In his petition, Rana Pratap said crows are a rarity now. He added that the high court was home to many crows and other birds because of the presence of a large number of trees. However, of late, hardly any crow is seen on the premises, the PIL said.
Pratap also demanded that the scavenger be included in the schedule of protected species under the Wildlife Protection Act and the government take steps to protect crows, which may soon become extinct due to the negligent attitude of the forest and animal husbandry departments. He alleged that the government was trying to fool the masses by projecting the cause of deaths as H5N1 virus.

“Had it been bird flu, it would have affected other avian creatures too. Crows are important for the ecosystem as they consume dead animals,” the petitioner argued, adding that over 4,000 crows had died in the state since September.
Probe teams that visited Jamshedpur — the epicenter of the scare — in November, confirmed the deaths due to H5N1, but did not explain the origin of the vector. If a study conducted by Jamshedpur ornithologist K.K. Sharma — who first sounded the alarm — is to be believed, Jharkhand had around 50,000 house crows, but in just three months, the number has come down by 40 per cent. http://telegraphindia.com/1111223/jsp/jharkhand/story_14916424.jsp

India-Alert as pigeons fall prey to flu #h5n1

Alert as pigeons fall prey to flu

Bokaro civil surgeon Mithilesh Kumar on Thursday called upon the public to be careful and alert the district administration should they come upon any dead birds.
Kumar said the avian flu virus H5N1, which was first detected in crows, appeared to have spread among pigeons as well in the last three days, as many as six birds of the latter variety had been found dead in Bokaro and Chas township.
He added that it was feared that this disease could be transmitted to cats and pigs, as the stray animals feed from the same place as scavenger birds.
In a bid to stop the spread of the virus, Kumar called for careful disposal of carcasses. People were advised to use plastic or rubber gloves while disposing the dead birds, and the carcasses had to be buried at least a metre below the ground after being covered in lime. The civil surgeon also asked people to get in touch with the district animal husbandry officer Dr Krishna Chowdhury at 9431315952 should they find any dead birds.
In the event of any human contracting the virus, the symptoms of which include very high temperature, runny nose and severe body ache, Kumar said such patients needed immediate attention.
Though the final results were awaited from Bhopal, where crow carcasses found in Bokaro were sent for testing, the civil surgeon said though the flu strain did not appear to be particularly virulent, precautions have to be taken.

India-H5N1 human infection alert spurs swab kit SOS #h5n1 #bird flu

H5N1 human infection alert spurs swab kit SOS

A tacit warning from the Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI) against the virulent H5N1 virus infecting humans after crows has prompted the East Singhbhum district health department to requisition throat swab kits from Delhi.
District surveillance officer Swarn Singh said he had rushed a letter to the state surveillance unit in Ranchi, seeking the test kits as soon as possible because civic workers burying crow carcasses might be at risk.
Two teams from IVRI’s Bareilly and Bhopal wings, which had collected samples of dead scavengers from Jamshedpur last month, had in their reports to the state animal husbandry department as well as East Singhbhum district surveillance office hinted at possible human affliction.
“The experts had said that handlers (those entrusted with the task of burying the infected and dead birds) run the maximum risk of contracting the H5N1 virus. They suggested that we be prepared for an emergency,” Singh told The Telegraph.
The H5N1 is among 15 types of avian influenza or bird flu viruses. The only way humans can contract the virus is through close contact with infected birds. The scavengers that have survived the scourge will also continue to secrete massive quantities of the virus in their faeces. People who touch the birds or inadvertently come in contact with faecal particles are at risk. The H5N1 is normally not transmitted from person to person. However, the illness caused by this virus in humans is severe and early data suggests a mortality rate as high as 60 per cent.
Singh maintained that he had written to the state surveillance wing on Saturday and sought at least 100 units of throat swab kits from Delhi. “We have been told that Ranchi would procure 200 units of the avian influenza kits and 100 will be sent to East Singhbhum, which has witnessed maximum number of crow deaths in the state. We are waiting for the kit,” he said.
“Both the IVRI teams and experts from National Institute of Virology (Pune) and Union animal husbandry department have not been able to confirm H5N1 virus in any other bird species or human beings. But we do not want to take chances,” he added.
So far, more than 2,000 crows have died in Jamshedpur alone. A few thousand have also been fatally affected in Hazaribagh, Ranchi and Dhanbad districts over the past three months.
A high-level joint team from the United Nations and Centre visited Jharkhand last week to probe whether and why the phenomenon was limited to scavengers. The state has issued a blanket alert to all zoos and parks in its 24 districts.  http://telegraphindia.com/1111222/jsp/jharkhand/story_14910602.jsp

Dead Crows- road to extinction?

Dead Crows- road to extinction?

| December 18, 2011
Crows in the state of Jharkhand are reportedly dying of avian-flu. Hundreds of crows are dropping dead across towns and villages of Jharkhand, and this is a worrying situation, say health officials.
The sudden death of crows were noticed last month in Jamshedpur district. This was followed by their deaths being recorded in Ranchi, Bokaro, Khuti, Sahebganj and other districts of the state. Just last week there was a mild panic as peole discovered dead crows from several places in Hazirabagh district.
Concerned over unnatural deaths in the crow population, the situation, the Jharkhand’s animal husbandry department called in experts from Bhopal’s Indian Veterinary Research Institute to find out the cause of the crows’ large-scale deaths.
“Samples of the dead crows were sent to Bhopal for tests. The scientists found strains of the deadly H5N1 virus in the dead crows, thus confirming that they had died of bird flu,” an official of the animal husbandry department said.
The department has issued advisories in local newspapers, asking people not to touch the dead crows, bury them and inform officials and others. The Ranchi zoo has been closed to visitors as a precautionary step. There is a possibility of the other birds being open to infection as crows are major scavengers in the region. It is also possible that the crows may have picked up the bird flu from eating the carcass or remains of slaughtered chickens.
Some estimates say that about the population of crows in the region has dropped 40 percent, but there’s no danger of the birds becoming extinct… yet.  http://newsneteast.com/home/?p=624
