Is Bird Flu threat changing?
Following an increase in infection rates and what appears to be a change in the pattern in Egypt the World Health Organisation is backing more detailed investigation
In Egypt the World Health Organisation is backing further examination and investigation as the numbers contracting the disease rise and and the pattern of infection change. At first sight the changes appear to be good news with all of those infected in the country have survived pointing to a reduction in the virulence of the H5N1, but clinically this change could be bad news.
This possible change in the nature of the virus may be the precursor of a more substantial evolutionary stage. Clinically, the virulence of a virus imposes a factor that limits transmission rates and the time available for further mutation; as virulence decreases, the potential for a much increased rate of infection increases.
As the virulence drops, it can mean more potential for individual infections although fewer die overall in percentage terms. In Egypt this year all 12 cases survived, in China where 7 cases have been reported the mortality rate was 57% and Vietnam 100%. Most experience shows this is one of the precursor conditions for a Pandemic to occur.
Last week, a WHO organisation spokesman reported that investigations were to centre on a search for Sub-clinical cases in H5N1 infection and other factors that may mean the virus is changing. Sub-clinical cases are milder infections which provide a primary breeding ground for virus mutation.
Whilst the lower mortality rate does look like at first sight like good news, it is all to easy to misinterpret this a diminished risk. The real risk is that as infection rates rise numerically and the Case Fatality Rate falls the total number at risk of infection can start to rise rapidly. Although there is no suggestion yet of human to human infection the increased number of cases in Egypt poses the question is this first stage in the creation of the conditions needed for the jump.
Professor Robert Webster, of St Jude Children's Research Hospital in the US commented “that WHO in Egypt was raising a very, very important issue which should receive maximum attention. He added: "I hope to hell they are wrong. If this thing becomes less pathogenic, it will become more transmissible."
Professor John Oxford, of Queen Mary, University of London, a leading international expert concurred saying “that any evidence that H5N1 was becoming less deadly would be serious, as the greatest cause for concern was the disease's ability to spread.”
Pandemic Flu tops the National Risk Register and for those planning serious consideration needs to be given to the organisations ability to cope with its impact
All organisations in the public and private should have created plans to curb the effects and mitigate the impact of the disruption caused by a Pandemic yet our study shows 73% do not have proper plans to protect the business or its employees.
This stark finding comes after the National Risk Register produced by the Cabinet Office highlighted the threat of a pandemic as the most serious threat to the UK.
With over 90% of organisations not calculating the possible financial impact of a pandemic on their operations few realise how expensive it could be and falsely judge the risks to the organisations as being not relevant or unmanageable.
Even those who had developed plans confessed to a lack of confidence in over two thirds of respondents with many stating a lack of executive support as the main issue (75%).
The threat of a pandemic is real, yet our finding show that most businesses are ignoring the threat, often considering it to be vastly overhyped despite the evidence from the last century when three pandemics killed tens of millions.

In addition, in the form of multiple responses only "gathering information" (14) "Maintenance of a disinfectant, such as insurance and medical supplies" (11's) "own company (or parent company) have created a manual of measures" (9) was. "Thorough vaccination and expatriate families," the two companies, "do not have anything yet," nine.

When the family returned, "If there is evidence that the rise-to-human infection (phase 4)," the 17 largest companies, "follow the recommendation of the Embassy of Japan," 12, "from one person The infection was confirmed to a very limited (Phase 3) "the two companies.
Own representative, "follow the recommendation of the Embassy of Japan" (17) the most, followed by "phase four" in the 13's. "The significant increase in the number of infections from person to person (Phase 5)" (4), "Phase 3" (2).
Japanese company executives said, "Even if a pandemic occurs, and into the service business of its customers, it would not stop the business entirely. And safety of employees, and spare you the trouble Two specific measures to determine the point of emphasis. "

According to him, in these regions are «Meeting the two versions of the virus». Nevertheless, according to Vlasov, because the poultry industry in this region almost «kill», then serious damage will not be. At risk of avian influenza was also a central part of Russia.
On the problems of avian influenza began to speak in connection with the possibility of its spread during the spring migration of birds. During the press conference Vlasov said that avian flu «doletit to Russia, as well as the continuing spread of infection in East Asia and Africa. We infected bird came, but Russia will not be anything terrible, because the veterinary services to the developed ».
Chief veterinarian Russia also announced that this year «sporadic cases will be lower than last year, and they will not have serious consequences».

Russia: Kamchatka has been training to eliminate potential hot spots bird flu
09.04.2009
Kamchatka specialists conducted training on the enforcement of the state of readiness of mobile antiepizootic order to eliminate the possible bird flu foci in the territory. As April 9, told the correspondent of news agency REGNUM in the press service of the Government of the Kamchatka Region, on the legend of training, the four personal Compound citizens in the area occurred Milkovskogo sudden mass death of poultry - in one day fell 157 heads of chickens, ducks and geese, deteriorated condition of the birds and the neighboring houses.
Case occurred in the Compound, the owners who refused to carry out vaccination against bird flu. The preliminary diagnosis - suspected to be infected poultry, the virus H5N1.

As the head of the Agency for Veterinary Kamchatka Krai Marina Nishta, training conducted within the framework of general training to the period of mass migration of birds over the territory of the Kamchatka region. "Last year an outbreak of bird flu was registered in the Primorsky Region, is troubled epizootic situation in selected countries in Southeast Asia. On the territory of Kamchatka bird flu cases are not recorded, but the threat of carrying the virus in the migration of birds saved," - said the chief state veterinarian Inspector of the Kamchatka region.
To prevent drift in the edge of a dangerous bird and human virus vaccination is carried out by specialists of industrial poultry and poultry products for personal Compound, the veterinary stations set up stocks of equipment, medicines and drugs for the localization of epizootic manifestation, are antiepizootic other activities.

excerpt:
On the issue of human infection by avian influenza in Indonesia, Russia feared infected people carrying a new type of virus. The statement was made by the chief veterinarian of Russia Nikolai Vlasov. Speaking about the possible extension during spring migration of birds, Vlasov said that, yes, bird flu doletit to the Russian lands, as well as the continuing spread of infection in East Asia and Africa. The loss of Russia from the avian flu will be two to three times less than in Southeast Asia, Mexico, Africa and the Nile Delta.
Under the threat of carrying avian influenza were the regions of Siberia: the West Altai, Novosibirsk, Tyumen, Kurgan and south. There may be problems in the Far Eastern District. At risk of avian influenza was also a central part of Russia. Since November, bird flu could cause problems in Dagestan, in southern Rostov region and Krasnodar territory.

Russia: The Altai region because of the danger of an influenza epidemic would be vaccinated more than 1 million poultry
13.04.2009
On the territory of the Altai region, where there is a threat of carrying avian influenza virus has started a large-scale vaccination of domestic animals. Now specialists encourage adult ducks, geese and chickens. In early May, vaccinations will be delivered to young chicks. Total plans to provide 1 million 311 thousand / poultry, told ITAR-TASS reported today in the management of Россельхознадзора in Altai Krai.
Vaccination is carried out in 38 areas of the province. "Through the Altai Territory are migratory routes of wild birds from Asia, where the main foci of the spread of the virus. Flying birds will begin shortly. - Told a correspondent. Itar-Tass gosinspektor Altai administration Россельхознадзора Sergei Zamiralov. - All poultry in the province are working in a closed mode. There is a review of all birds, delivery of which takes place from abroad. "
On the possibility of the emergence of avian influenza in Russia on Friday, said deputy head Nikolai Vlasov Россельхознадзора. Among the regions, which may be subjected to such dangers, Vlasov called Altai Territory, particularly the western part, Novosibirsk Region, south of Tyumen. Also, avian flu may appear at the poultry farms and households, the central part of Russia. "Beginning in November may be the problem in Dagestan, Rostov region," - added Vlasov.

I became aware of this video thru a forum on avian influenza. It has brought many to our blog here.
Let me state for the record, that we here at Pandemic Information News do not believe, nor do we condone this video. It is a rumor. It probably has incited fear among some, and laughter among others.
We welcome you here at our blog, and please feel free to read our news that we've collected from various countries, a lot of it has been translated. We have many links on the right side bar that will help inform you on the issues of Avian Influenza (H5N1).

The dog could spread the Antara influenza Virus the Species
[This is from the Emerg Infect Dis. 2008 May Issue, and was posted today in Indonesia]
The DOG could spread influenza directly from the poultry, was like this the researcher's Korean circle said just recently, while saying, their findings showed the livestock could play a role in pandemik in the future. Several dogs a kept animal to was sick and died as a result of what changed to an eye strain the flu virus seasonal. was like this the researcher's circle reported in the Emerging Infectious Diseases magazine. “Data we received proof that the dog could be still playing some role in the spread between the species and spread the virus of influenza,” Daesub Song from Green Cross Veterinary Products Ltd in Yong-in, South Korea and several of his colleagues reported.
"dog-dog this contracted influenza H3N2, his kind was the same as one of the flu kinds that now is contagious in the human circle. However the genetic analysis indicate the dogs were infected with viruses directly from a bird/poultry,” said the team Sole. The doctor's circle learned the animal spread the flu virus from one animal to the other animal. Often was expert in being convinced most, if not all of them, the influenza virus came from the poultry. The influenza virus avian H5N1, that struck all the livestock in Asia, Africa and various European territory parts, sometimes infected humankind, infected 376 people and killed 238 among them. Also sometimes infected the dog, the cat, the wolf, the civet and teens of the species of birds from the goose to the goose.
That was worried that that will experience the change or having a combination in a form that easily spread from one humankind to other humankind, spread some pandemik that must be potential will kill hundreds of millions of humankind globally. H3N2 was found to the poultry but also something that was normal the flu kind to humankind. However varites that was contagious to the poultry and humankind apparently the difference in the level of his genetics. The Song team carried out the research into spread him in influenza to the dog animal.

“From May till September 2007, various cases of difficult respiratory disease happened to the animal in three located livestock breeding clinics 10 through to 30 kilometre his distance in the Kyunggi Province and one located pen in the Jeolla Province (the south South Korean territory) ,” they wrote. A miniature succeeded in being found, but a champion, two dogs of Jindo Korea and seeorang a kind of Yorkshiore dog died. As many as 13 other dogs were in a pen infected, and had proof an amount ajing [typo? anjing = dog] other also was infected. According to the DNA analysis showed these viruses came from the dog that was enough close to his similarity with that bersal [bersalah = culpable/wrong] from chickens or the China duck in Hong Kong, Japan and China. The spreading of the virus avian influenze A to the species of the mammal was the big concern because that potential made the virus tesebut [typo? tersebut = above-mentioned] adapted in an infection the mammal just, passed new species barriers and got the potential pandemik,” they wrote.
They were convinced the dog spread through food. “We while concluding that the spread happened when gave ate the dog that was mixt with the slice of duck meat or chicken,” they wrote. “In South Korea, the duck and the chicken that were not treated, including the interior organ and the head, already widely was used to give the dog ate to fatten the local dog. “Possibly/potentially the dogs were infected through the respiratory tract outcast in the birds market that afterwards this virus spread to that other,” they added. “Marketplace living birds will it was estimated be a network that was lost in epidemiology the virus avian infeluenza because they brought in a manner besama-be the same the big party like the chicken, the duck, the turkey, the goose and the dove, in a place that berinsentitas high that represented an environment that was ideal for the virus that spread between spesies,” they wrote.

New bird flu cases suggest the danger of pandemic is rising
[bolding mine]
Infections in Egypt raise scientists' fears that virus will be spread by humans
By Geoffrey Lean, Environment Editor
Sunday, 12 April 2009
First the good news: bird flu is becoming less deadly. Now the bad: scientists fear that this is the very thing that could make the virus more able to cause a pandemic that would kill hundreds of millions of people.
This paradox – emerging from Egypt, the most recent epicentre of the disease – threatens to increase the disease's ability to spread from person to person by helping it achieve the crucial mutation in the virus which could turn it into the greatest plague to hit Britain since the Black Death. Last year the Government identified the bird-flu virus, codenamed H5N1, as the biggest threat facing the country – with the potential to kill up to 750,000 Britons.
The World Health Organisation is to back an investigation into a change in the pattern of the disease in Egypt, the most seriously affected country outside Asia. Although infections have been on the rise this year, with three more reported last week, they have almost all been in children under the age of three, while 12 months ago it was mainly adults and older children who were affected. And the infections have been much milder than usual; the disease normally kills more than half of those affected; all of the 11 Egyptians so far infected this year are still alive.
Experts say that these developments make it more likely that the virus will spread. Ironically, its very virulence has provided an important safeguard. It did not get much chance to infect other people when it killed its victims swiftly, but now it has much more of a chance to mutate and be passed on.
The WHO fears that this year's rise in infections among small children, without similar cases being seen in older people, raises questions about whether adults are being infected but not falling ill, so acting as symptomless carriers of the disease. Its investigation, due to start this summer, will see if this is happening by testing the blood of people who may have been in contact with infected birds, but who have not themselves become sick.
John Jabbour, who works with WHO in Cairo, told Reuters last week: "There is something strange happening in Egypt. Why in children now and not in adults? We need to see if there are sub-clinical cases in the community." He added that if the research did find such cases, they would be the first to be discovered anywhere in the world.
Though he stressed that there was still no evidence of the disease passing from person to person, other experts are also becoming alarmed. Professor Robert Webster, of St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee – who is the world's leading authority on the disease – told The Independent on Sunday that, while he himself had not seen firm data, the WHO in Egypt was raising "a very, very important issue" which should receive "maximum attention". He added: "I hope to hell they are wrong. If this **** thing becomes less pathogenic, it will become more transmissible."
And Professor John Oxford, of Queen Mary, University of London, said that any evidence that H5N1 was becoming less deadly would be serious, as the greatest cause for concern was the disease's ability to spread.
Even a much less virulent strain of the virus could result in a devastating pandemic. Studies show that an outbreak that killed as few as 5 per cent of those it infected could still cause hundreds of millions of deaths around the world.

Russian article on Pigeon Species
[Long and information article on the species]
9 Apr, 2009,
Already 45 years in the city on the Yenisei, there golubevodov society. Consisting of enthusiasts are engaged in cultivation of rare breeds, respectively, of pigeons. This wild species (those that walk on city streets), judges are not interested. What they may surprise aesthetes?
-snip-
Any thoroughbred pigeon can not be kept in a cage, like the canary. Better equipped for these birds a special nursery at the open air. Residents of the suburb in this area is easier: there where Razgulyai, and питомцам comfortable - they are not disturbed by noise and curious eyes. Those who breeds pigeons living in the Krasnoyarsk, forced to keep birds in small loft, located directly in the yards of homes.
Thoroughbred urban residents are often the prey of cats and dying from various diseases (for example, pigeons do not get sick of avian influenza and do not carry it). As a result, they live no more than five years. And could be three times more! By the way, people who разводят pigeons for sale, very little: too high costs for their content. They are mostly amateurs who are trying to put perfectly clean rock. At the pleasure of himself and the people.

In March, a pigeon breeding season begins, and they can not detract from the chicks. And until December the birds are experiencing replaced pen and do not look better.

Culver, unlike the thoroughbred, it is better adapted to survival. Where there is food - and it inhabits. In general, the specific benefits of wild pigeons to humans there. They eat rats, dogs. Themselves, they eat grass, grains, feed. Seeds can not feed the pigeons. Chips and crackers are also adversely affect their digestion. From fried, fatty, salty, they quickly die. But bread and cereals do not cause harm.
Humans can become infected from a wild pigeon salmonellosis (outdoor bird brezguet lazat by scrap-heap). In autumn, for example, pigeons often sit nahohlivshiesya, lowered from the beak, not afraid of human hands. To touch a bird do not have to - it is most likely sick of intestinal infection and will soon die. Do not save the lame and the pigeon. Most likely, it is hooked to lines, or thread wound on the plastic in the scrap-heap. Trauma has always lead to gangrene and death. This is life: more than half wild pigeons do not live.

Concern of the mutation of avian influenza in Egypt to a pandemic strain in humans
Last Updated: Friday, April 10, 2009 11:28 GMT Cairo
The Council of Ministers held an emergency meeting yesterday chaired by Dr.. Ahmed Nazif to discuss the rising incidence of disease, bird flu, amid fears it could mutate to a lethal strain passed from human to human.
Did not attend the meeting, a representative of the union of poultry producers, as the majority of casualties were among the last birds in the jam of houses and farms, which is not in a total of 17 people in the republic.
The World Health Organization warned of the increased risk of some Egyptians highly pathogenic virus without showing any symptoms of infection, which may enable the virus to mutate into a strain that can spread easily among humans. And after the growing incidence of the disease in Egypt, where the Ministry of Health recorded 12 cases including 11 cases of children under the age of 9 of them, which is the highest in the world 2009.
"John Gabor specialist emerging diseases and health organization based in Cairo: that« there is a need to conduct tests to prove the existence of such cases infected with bird flu symptoms without the emergence of the patient ». He pointed out that «the study will be the focus of the Egyptian government intends to hold the support of the organization».
Gabor said that the proliferation of such cases in Egypt, which has a total of 63 cases in which the case since 2006 «a matter of concern just now .. It is a question to be put (..) and added: The change in the pattern of avian influenza infection in humans in Egypt this year, raised concerns about the presence of the virus without showing symptoms ». According to Reuters.
He warned that «the presence of carriers of the virus show no symptoms would be a worrying development, because it may allow the virus more time to mutate into the human body .. If there were cases of this kind in Egypt, the aim is to treat immediately to stop the proliferation of the virus. Because it either through mutation or restructuring will lead to a pandemic strain. »
Of 12 Egyptians infected with bird flu this year were nine cases of children under three and I said, the incidence among adults a lot. All cases and corresponded to heal. The case differs significantly from the same period last year, as seven people were wounded, most adults and older children with HIV and three died.
Gabor said that the increase in cases among children under the emergence of similar injuries among adults raised questions about whether adults carrying the virus without showing any symptoms of the disease. He continued that «there was something strange is happening in Egypt. Why is the child now does not appear to adults? We need to know whether there are situations that do not show symptoms. »
He pointed out that «there are no known cases of this type of injury among people in other countries hit by the disease but does not yet exist».
For his part, said Dr. Abdel Rahman Shahin, spokesman of the Ministry of Health: The Ministry follows strict procedures to prevent mutation of the disease can be transmitted among humans, and that the Ministry of Health has been conducting regular research with an international high in America and Britain. He added that the death rates in cases in Egypt of the lowest world, which reflects the high degree of health care to them.

Flying in the face of challenge
According to a World Health Organisation report, Egypt is on the front line in the battle against avian flu. Reem Leila examines the threat
Two-year-old Israa Saad Abdel-Shafi is the 60th case of the H5N1 strain of avian flu virus recorded in Egypt since the first outbreak of the disease in 2006 and the ninth victim since the start of the year. Twenty-three out of the 60 have died, the majority young girls or women from rural areas who raise fowl domestically.
In early March the World Health Organisation (WHO) called for an investigation into why Egypt is seeing increasing numbers of victims. The WHO has identified the country as being at the forefront of the spread of the disease though Abdel-Rahman Shahin, official spokesman to the Ministry of Health, points out that despite the high number of victims the percentage of fatalities from bird flu in Egypt is still less than in other countries that have seen outbreaks of the disease.
Egypt has reported nine cases since the beginning of the year, with zero fatalities. There were eight cases with four fatalities in 2008. Vietnam has reported two fatalities, and China seven victims with four fatalities. Shahin argues the figures indicate the disease is being controlled in Egypt.
"This year we do not have any fatalities whereas last year it was 50 per cent. The fatality rate in China this year is more than 50 per cent, and in Vietnam it is 100 per cent. The situation in Egypt is improving, not deteriorating."
Bird flu presents a massive challenge to the government given the uncertainty about the course of any possible pandemic. The virus has become endemic and it could take years to rid the country of the most virulent strain. The government, says Shahin, has prepared a detailed national plan to be implemented in case of a pandemic according to which half of Egypt's 150,000 hospitals beds will be reserved for avian flu patients.
Hamid Samaha, head of the General Authority for Veterinary Services, says the government is focussing on comprehensive public health efforts -- monitoring outbreaks in order to identify any change in the virus, increasing anti-viral stockpiles and building a more robust capacity for vaccine production.
Settlement patterns in Egypt, where 95 per cent of the population is concentrated on five per cent of the land, has serious implications for any pandemic outbreak. The virus has been found at nearly 300 sites and is now "rooted in the Egyptian environment" says Shahin, who now believes that following the first incidents of avian flu Egypt should have culled all poultry and taken draconian measures to stamp out the continued domestic rearing of birds.
"The whole country must resort to consuming frozen chicken instead of purchasing fresh birds. We cannot afford to implement such a scheme at the moment, but the least we must do is ensure that in cities people abide by the regulations and limit direct and indirect communication with poultry."
Shahin suggests the mortality rate resulting from bird flu infections is decreasing due to growing awareness in the wake of information campaigns conducted by the Ministry of Health.
The WHO is still concerned that human infections have escalated over a relatively short period of time, leading some experts to accuse the government of inadequate planning. Health officials, they say, are endeavouring to enforce preventive measures but are incapable of ensuring they are strictly implemented.
"Government planning is random. It is using the wrong vaccine to combat the virus," insists Talaat Khatib, professor of veterinary medicine at Assiut University. "American scientists have already confirmed the H5N1 virus has evolved into two genetically distinct strains, potentially increasing the risk to humans." Khatib believes public awareness campaigns to date have been too weak and Egypt should have begun to plan its preventative measures when the virus was first reported in the country in February 2006.
In Egypt, where poverty and illiteracy rates are high and urban rooftop and backyard rearing of poultry has long been a way of life, a more systematic approach to monitoring the disease needs to be put in place, says Samaha. "People do not respect instructions from the authorities. They consider poultry capital for which it is worth risking their health, and the health of their neighbours."
Egypt is one of very few countries affected by bird flu that does not offer compensation to farmers when poultry is destroyed. Since 2003 412 human cases of the virus have been reported in 15 countries, resulting in 256 deaths. More than 300 million birds have been culled worldwide.
For Supari
So minister Supari, If you truly believe it is a U.S. conspiracy to create bio weapons..why do you continue to take money from them? How will your country feel about you after the pandemic? They will feel you lied to them, by hiding information that could have saved their children. Even now, patients in your country are dying from your lack of cooperation in developing new vaccines that could help the entire world. How can you look them in the face and blame another country for it? How does it feel to be responsible for these deaths? Deaths you could have prevented.
Anda membuat saya sakit dengan cara berbohong anda. Suami anda sekarang meninggal. Saya berharap anda sedang meraba mirip keluarga-keluarga pasien flu burung yang sudah kehilangan yang dicintai karena anda menolak untuk melakukan seluruh itu bisa dilakukan. Ketamakan dan ketidakmampuan anda sangat mengherankan. Jika anda tidak mengubah kebijakan anda segera, mereka akan memberontak terhadap anda di cara anda tidak akan like. anda sebaiknya merasa cemas lebih banyak tentang kesehatan orang anda dan bahwa sisa dunia, lebih baik daripada mencoba menjual buku untuk perolehanmu sendiri.
You ..Supari, are of the worst kind of greedy people. Like a bad James Bond movie, you are in reality, the ultimate bad guy with the power to do good, but instead choose to harm your own people. Very soon , the Indo people and media will wake up to your deceitful ways and put you back where you belong.
