Bangladesh Reports 12 Outbreaks of Bird Flu
Tuesday, April 27, 2010
BANGLADESH - There have been 12 reported outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).

The presence of the H5N1 sub-type of the influenza A virus has been confirmed in each case.
CAMBODIA: Malaria cases rise sharply
 Photo: Swiss Radio  |
| The number of cases remains dramatically lower than 12 years ago (file photo) |
According to the National Center for Parasitology, Entomology and Malaria Control, there was a 41 percent increase in cases last year.
The country - which has become an epicentre for malaria - recorded 83,217 malaria-infected persons in 2009, from 58,887 the previous year, after a steep drop in the number of cases over the past several years.
The mosquito-borne disease killed 279 people in 2009 from 209 in 2008, Chea Nguon, the centre’s deputy director, told IRIN from Phnom Penh.
Multiple factors
Nguon cited several factors for the spike, including an earlier-than-usual rainy season, a late distribution of insecticide-impregnated bed nets, and internal migration to malaria-affected areas. He said there was also a natural cyclical rise in the number of cases every two to three years.
In addition, the increase reflected a rise in the number of people with access to healthcare, he said.
Since 2004, the government has trained malaria workers in 1,300 villages to detect and treat malaria, so a greater number of patients are being properly diagnosed and recorded than in previous years.
“Cambodia is establishing more and more village malaria workers, who are detecting more malaria that wasn’t detected previously,” said Steven Bjorge, technical officer for the World Health Organization (WHO) in Cambodia.
“The populations most affected are people who work in the forest,” Bjorge said. Those include soldiers and their families, plantation workers, and even workers at a hydroelectric plant in the west of the country. Villagers hunting and gathering in the forests were also at risk, he said.
Many malaria patients in areas with poor access to public health facilities attend private clinics, which do not report cases to the government.
Nguon said the number of cases still might be higher than recorded, and as the government trained more village malaria workers, the figures may rise because of better reporting.
Drug resistance
Cambodia in recent years has become one of the world’s malaria focal points after authorities detected along the country’s western border with Thailand a strain of the disease resistant to Artemisinin, one of the most effective drugs used to treat malaria.
WHO has set up a special Artemisinin-resistant malaria containment project in the area.
“As in the past, the Thai-Cambodian border is home to the emerging drug resistance. The two countries and several partners, donors, as well as WHO, are working relentlessly to eliminate this dreadful parasite from this hot spot,” said Jai P. Narain, director of communicable diseases for the WHO Southeast Asia regional office.
Nguon noted that the number of cases in 2009 was still dramatically lower than 12 years ago, when there were 170,387 infected persons and 865 deaths.
“Compared to Vietnam or Thailand, the [numbers of] cases are still high,” he said. “We hope to eliminate malaria by 2025, and we are committed to that goal, but it’s still in the process.”
The government and NGOs are continuing to train village malaria workers and to collect data on malaria patients who sought medical assistance from private clinics.

Vietnam: Alert status from hospital infections
04/27/2010
Overload in hospitals, especially in the central hospitals are not only urgent but also the health sector is one of the causes of infectious status for many people to do the service delivery medical service or treatment. The hospital is focusing much different diseases, including infectious diseases spread easily to many people if the fight against hospital infections have not been doing well.
Many people going to medical diagnosis and treatment at health facilities are very worried when you see people in hospitals are crowded together for examination and treatment. So, without fear of external examination, fear of illness, worry if he were not careful there will be at risk of other infectious diseases through the instruments used, the environment of the hospital.
Bad hospital infections led to the use of antibiotics increasingly difficult for the bacteria grew medicine. Infection status of infection from the hospital can start from the polluted environment of the hospital, or from the same treatment from the common instruments used are not properly sterilizing and regulations from the government from the hands of staff health.
One day doctors have examined hundreds of patients. If your doctor does not comply with the process, wash your hands after each treatment be done is they who have infections from one person to another. On the other hand, the shared medical equipment without sterilization also cause bacteria are who will move to another body. A survey by the Bach Mai Hospital conducts research in five major hospitals in Hanoi were the result hospital infection rate is 10%. At Bach Mai Hospital, the rate was also 6.8%.
Infections from hospitals focus mainly lung infection through the respiratory, urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal infections. There are very dangerous infections, have very expensive medicines such as blood infections. Bad infections required hospital patients must take powerful antibiotics more expensive because of the rate of drug-resistant hospital bacteria growing. It is worth noting that this dangerous bacteria enter the body via medical instruments such as shared river tubes, pipes windpipe. At some hospitals, because there are so overloaded disposable instruments must be disinfected, it should be used several times higher risk of infection.
Contaminated hands of medical staff has also made many more people infected with the hospital strains. Although the health sector has been actively promoting the fight against cross-infection by the scientific establishment against infection, and complete practice not achieve expected results. Microbiological test results on the hands of medical staff at Cho Ray Hospital (Ho Chi Minh City) showed that on average each hand has about 270,000 bacteria, including strains resistant to most conventional antibiotics. A nurse wears gloves to perform the medical procedure can protect their hands, but all day he does not try to replace the bacteria easily spread from one person to another.
Sanitation work in the hospital a number of hospitals have not been paid due attention. Still nhech laziness by the patients, who take care of food, accommodation, activities at the hospital. Medical service personnel are only scanned during office hours or dry mop the floor with a load chamber disease wiped out the other room to floor it. The load itself was not cleaning sterilizing, no clean laundry drying is also a source distribution of microorganisms in the chamber increases the risk of disease infection. In many places, the use of antiseptic chemicals not reasonable, not the right way to hospital infection status did not decrease but tend to increase.
On the other hand, the infrastructure of many hospitals has been seriously degraded due to long construction. Many hospitals do not have waste treatment systems that focus only then brought back to the outside as waste. At some hospitals, the only solid waste is buried in the land of the hospital without treatment. Many hospitals in big cities like Hanoi and Ho. Ho Chi Minh in a residential hospital waste brought into the streets or sewage systems of the area polluted water, soil, and air.

According to the Department of Animal Health, from 13 to 19-4, translation appeared in the Kim Son commune, Central Color, Duong Quang, Phu Thi Le Chi district and Gia Lam (Hanoi) to 370 pigs and 320 children infected pigs destroyed.
Meanwhile, in Quang Nam, completely isolated with the local "service center" Red River Delta, but from 21-4-2010 in Binh Dao, Thang Binh district is the phenomenon of sick pigs, and death spread rapidly with symptoms typical of blue ear disease. 24-4 to date, there were 25 pigs (8 of 17 sows and piglets) farming households in four villages in 14 communes of Binh Dao disease.
Worrying is that while the outbreak is constantly increasing and it spreads rapidly in some people and local authorities also indifferent to prevention, which also has stealth consumption sick pigs. According to Deputy Minister Diep Kinh Tan, translations have appeared since the middle of March until now but the prevention and handling of the outbreak is too slow.

Another problem is the mechanism and policy support among the local people have the same basic situation to avoid transfer services from one place to another to support higher. According to Hoang Van Nam: "The support must be calculated based on the reasonable regulations of the State. In my experience, if too high (more than market value - PV) people will be destroyed, so they are low get back to sell, sell back, very dangerous. "
Also, the question of whether vaccines can meet the demand risk epidemic, he said Hoang Van Nam, vaccination vaccines blue ear epidemic are imported from various countries, the results of vaccination initially showed this type of vaccine protection is not 100% chance if infected pigs stay completely healthy. But vaccine manufacturers recommend that if pigs were infected or at least physically, the new vaccine would be less effective.

Another problem is the mechanism and policy support among the local people have the same basic situation to avoid transfer services from one place to another to support higher. According to Hoang Van Nam: "The support must be calculated based on the reasonable regulations of the State. In my experience, if too high (more than market value - PV) people will be destroyed, so they are low get back to sell, sell back, very dangerous. "
Also, the question of whether vaccines can meet the demand risk epidemic, he said Hoang Van Nam, vaccination vaccines blue ear epidemic are imported from various countries, the results of vaccination initially showed this type of vaccine protection is not 100% chance if infected pigs stay completely healthy. But vaccine manufacturers recommend that if pigs were infected or at least physically, the new vaccine would be less effective.
The development of this disease but still have breeding stages as cleaning pens, vaccination, food security, weather appropriate, good breeding stock protection, should lower the rate of death ...

Asean To Prepare Roadmap On Control Of Avian Flu
April 27, 2010 23:00 PM
By Ahmad Fuad Yahya
JAKARTA, April 27 (Bernama) -- Regional cooperation in the control and eradication of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) will receive a boost when a roadmap to ensure the attainment of HPAI-free ASEAN by 2020 is finalised this year.
The concept and work plan in the development of the roadmap was discussed at the First Technical Working Group Meeting on HPAI Roadmap held at the Asean Secretariat here, the Secretariat said in a statement Tuesday.
The roadmap, which will be finalised for submission to relevant ASEAN sectoral bodies in late 2010, incorporates several progressive phases and approaches based on lessons learned and ongoing initiatives in the broader context of transboundary animal disease control, multi-sectoral cooperation for health, and One World, One Health frameworks.
"The Roadmap would contribute to regional economic integration towards a single market and production base by 2015 with free flow of animal and livestock products as well as alleviating poverty and enhancing food security in the region," said the Deputy Secretary-General of ASEAN for ASEAN Economic Community, S. Pushpanathan in his welcome remarks.
He described the move as a key Asean contribution to the World Veterinary Day which is annually celebrated on the last Saturday of April," he added.
The two-day meeting was attended by experts from the animal health and public health departments and agencies of ASEAN member states, the private sector and development partners.
Besides ensuring successful control and eradication of HPAI in Asean, the Roadmap is also expected to strengthen the sustainable development of livestock; strengthen regional coordination on animal health and zoonoses.
It will also strengthen multi-sectoral cooperation on health related issues in line with the One World, One Health concept; and, strengthen cooperation and partnership with development partners and donor agencies, he said.
The initiative remains critical as the first outbreak of HPAI H5N1 in ASEAN started in 2003 with no less than 200 million poultry culled leading to economic losses of over USD 10 billion to the region's poultry sector.
At least 330 people contracted the infection in the region, 200 of whom died.
Asean member states and the international community were able to manage and control the outbreak through collective efforts.
Despite the successful elimination of H5N1 from poultry in almost all the 63 countries it infected at the peak of the global outbreak in 2006, the virus still persists in five nations, including two Asean member states, namely Indonesia and Vietnam.
The Asean region, therefore, still faces serious risk, in addition to the concern of cross mutation among other pandemic and deadly viruses, he said.

Epidemics likely to spread
5:03 PM, 04/27/2010
In recent years, many provinces have suffered from epidemics, especially digestive-related diseases such as cholera, said Professor Doctor Nguyen Tran Hien, head of the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology (NIHE).
Mr Hien stated this at a conference held in Hanoi on April 27 to put in place measures to combat epidemics in the northern region this year.
He warned that the A/H5N1 virus, dengue fever and measles are likely to break out in 2010. Last year, Vietnam had more than 2,000 cases of flu infection, including 15 deaths caused by the A/H5N1 virus, he added.
In 2009, more than 9,400 people in the northern region were diagnosed as having measles. The NIHE has planned to vaccinate all children under six against measles by 2012.
Since the beginning of this year, the country has confirmed 50 cases of cholera, mostly in Hanoi, Hai Phong, Bac Ninh and Hai Duong. The disease is likely to spread widely due to shortcomings in preventive healthcare and ineffective cooperation between local authorities and functional agencies.
According to Professor Hien, it is also essential to introduce preventive measures against respiratory diseases, including A/H1H1 and A/H5N1.
Bird flu hits central province of Vietnam
|
| English.news.cn 2010-04-27 20:33:55 |
HANOI, April 27 (Xinhua) -- Bird flu is occurring in the central province Quang Tri of Vietnam, raising the total number of affected provinces in the country to four, said a report of the Department of Animal Health under the Vietnam's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development on Tuesday.
The bird flu struck a local farm of Quang Tri province, causing 250 ducks out of 1,500 die, said the department.
The local animal health bureau and authorities have been taking measures to prevent the spread of the H5N1 virus to nearby areas. These measures include slaughtering infected animals and sterilizing the affected areas and their neighborhood.
Currently, Vietnam reports four provinces nationwide hit by avian flu including two northern provinces namely Bac Kan and Quang Ninh, and two central provinces of Quang Ngai and newly- reported Quang Tri, said the department.
Big trouble in Vietnam
Vietnam is in trouble. The myriad of diseases there have now risen to a fever pitch and it has really just started. The people there are up against the hard wall of poverty and necessity, and this in turn propagates the spread of disease as almost nowhere else in the world.
The recent denial of a cluster of human H5N1 cases in conjunction with the pandemic conference just held there, surely makes the truth run like water through your fingers. Understanding that no country wants to tell you how bad it really is, the denial does not diminish the threat. Now, with the beginning of this spring, at least 5 different diseases are breaking out and spreading thru out the Vietnam/Cambodian border areas.
As with China, it is easy to blame it all on the weather. In the tropical zones we are dealing with, weather can help spread some diseases like "dengue fever or malaria", However, most of the recent disease spread is due to carelessness and reckless intent.
H5N1, H1N1, Cholera, Dengue fever, measles and the pig disease "PRRS"otherwise known as blue eared disease, are now becoming widespread in Vietnam, especially on the "Nam/Cam" border.
According to recent reports from that area, a young man just died from H5N1 in Cambodia although there have been no recent reports of birds dying there. This should tell you what is really gooin on. Now an outbreak of Cholera is rapidly spreading on the border with Vietnam,who also is reporting cholera in the northern regions also.
Vietnam has expressed concern that the indigenous peoples are spreading it through poor sanitary practices, of which there are many. They also are condeming the well worn practice of throwing every dead creature into the canals and ponds and waterways, from which others gather their drinking and cooking water. Vietnam says they are worried this practice will help to spread the cholera outbreak.
In poorer sections of Southeast Asia, the populations eat just about anything. Whith the help of unscrupulous and uncaring farming practices, the risk of these type of diseases will continue to expand.
Recent reports I have translated from there, tell me that bird flu is still active in at least 3 provinces, including where the human cluster of cases were discovered.
Cholera is spreading through the waterways and canals in both the north and south of the country and now on the Nam/Cam border. Children and adults are swamping the hospitals with respiratory ailments, north and south.
.
Here are a couple of snips... "Dr. Le Thanh Hai, deputy hospital director, said the hospital each day over 1,200 children to receive medical examination and treatment, even on up to 2,000 children, mainly suffering from respiratory infections, diarrhea. In particular, many children with fever virus was taken to hospital in a state of fever up to 39-40 degrees, leading to convulsions".... "Several other hospitals in Hanoi as Paul Green, Bach Mai also fall into overload children to visit. Doctor Hoang Minh Thu, Head of Pediatrics, Hospital Paul Green said the department receives each day from 500 to 600 patients, including many children with high fever, accompanied by symptoms such as respiratory tract infections, headaches and fatigue.
Among the hospitalized children had no case be less family home should be treated with antibiotics while hospitalized children with diarrhea due to more side effects of antibiotics.
This time, many hospitals in the north have also received a lot of adult patients suffering from respiratory illness and fever virus. According to doctors, when adults have symptoms of viral fever, should alert to dengue fever and encephalitis because of dangerous complications such as paralysis, otitis, pneumonia can occur if not treated properly"..
Can you say with certanty what is happening there?
PRRS is killing the pigs and spreading at a fantastic rate. The farmers are not reporting these outbreaks and are unceromoniously dumping the remains on roadsides and canals and rivers EVERYWHERE in that country. The stench is becoming a common complaint, and now come reports of meat dealers and some farmers that are dealing these diseased pigs straight to the big cities and roadside stands. Some reports are decrying the fact that many meat suppliers are digging up the dead pigs and carving them up for consumption. This is probably not a good idea.
The recent visit by the WHO, U.S, and 70 other countries for the international Pandemic conference should have spent a little more time explaining how easy it is for these diseases to spread and perhaps put some money and time towards teaching better farming practices, instead of instructing countries on how to hide and deny outbreaks of disease.
