World Health Organization warns of ‘dangerous’ polio strain
\
The World Health Organization issued a statement Tuesday, warning China and Pakistan of a deadly strain of polio that seems to have crossed the border of the two nations.
“The WHO rates as ‘high’ the risk of further international spread of wild polio virus from Pakistan, particularly given the expected large-scale population movements associated with Umra and the upcoming Haj…in the coming months,” the WHO said in a statement.The U.N. health agency says a genetic link has been confirmed between wild poliovirus type 1 detected in China and a strain circulating in Pakistan. The warning comes as the first outbreak of polio seems to be related to the annual Haj pilgrimage in the region. Haj is the main annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
The polio outbreak involved a dangerous strain of the disease which spreads more easily than others and is more likely to cause paralysis. Pakistan reported that is has identified nearly 84 cases of the strain, while China has yet to release official figures. Nine cases have been confirmed in China, according to news reports. All are genetically linked to the polio virus circulating in Pakistan, the United Nations agency said.
The WHO warned that officials are likely to see an increase in polio cases as the annual pilgrimages moves to security-compromised parts of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas in Pakistan, where there is little access to medical treatment and clinics.
“The key to success will be to overcome remaining operational challenges in fully-accessible areas and implemented special outreach strategies with full community participation to increase access to populations in security-compromised areas,” the agency said. “To achieve this, full and consistent engagement and accountability at provincial, district and union-council level is urgently needed.”
The global health body noted that countries should combat the spread of the disease by increasing disease surveillance systems and travellers to Pakistan should be vaccinated against polio.
World Health Organization warns of ‘dangerous’ polio strain
20 September 2011 Last updated at 17:30 ET
Polio has spread to China for the
first time since 1999 after being imported from Pakistan, the World Health
Organization (WHO) has confirmed.
It said a strain of polio (WPV1) found in China was genetically linked with
the type now circulating in Pakistan.
At least seven cases have now been confirmed in China's western Xinjiang
province, which borders Pakistan.
The WHO warned there was a high risk of the crippling virus spreading further
during Muslim pilgrimages to Mecca.
Polio (also called poliomyelitis) is highly infectious and affects the
nervous system, sometimes resulting in paralysis.
It is transmitted through contaminated food, drinking water and
faeces.
'Right things done'
On Tuesday, the WHO said the polio cases in Xinjiang had been detected in the
past two months.
The Chinese authorities are now investigating the cases, and a mass
vaccination campaign has been launched in the region.
"So far all the right things are being done," WHO spokesman Oliver Rosenbauer
told Reuters news agency.
Polio was last brought into China from India in 1999. China's last indigenous
case was in 1994.
Pakistan is one of a handful of countries where polio remains endemic.
WHO officials had been warning for some time that the virus was spreading
within the country to previously uninfected areas.
The UN's children fund, Unicef, has said that eradicating polio from Pakistan
depends on delivering oral vaccines to each and every child, including the most
vulnerable and the hardest to reach.
Krishnagar (WB), Sept 20
Culling of birds began today at Tehatta 1 block in Nadia district after confirmation of the outbreak of Avian Influenza, popularly known as Bird Flu. Symptoms of Avian Influenza were initially observed among hens in 13 villages under 5 Gram Panchayat areas of Tehatta 1 block about 10 days back.
The samples of the birds were collected and sent to High Security Animal Disease Laboratory (HSADL) Bhopal for tests.
"The report arrived at around 6.30 pm yesterday confirming Bird Flu. We decided to start culling and it was initiated today," Nure Alam Chowdhury, Animal Resource Department Minister told a press conference after visiting the affected block here today.
Twenty teams comprising 420 persons were deployed in the process of culling scheduled in 5 gram panchayat areas. After culling, the dead birds will be buried at Lalbazar, a place near Indo-Bangladesh border. Three big holes were dug up for the disposal of the culled birds here, he said.
Tehatta SDO Achinta Mondal said "we hope to cull about 5000 birds today and the culling work will go on up to 7 pm and the culled birds will be buried".
The minister arrived at Tehatta today morning and visited some of the affected places.
Meanwhile the Indo-Bangla border has also been sealed, the minister said.
Official reports said culling will continue for three consecutive days. During this period, movement of people deployed in culling also have been restricted outside the area. They have been provided with special uniform.
The SDO said the tyres of the vehicles moving through the areas would be disinfected. About 300 vehicles cross the area on an average everyday along the Krishnagar-Karimpur road.
There is a vast waterbody at Tehatta where some migratory birds come during winter. The minister suspected the migratory birds might have left behind the germs of Bird Flu.
The minister said "there is no need to get into panic mode as the situation is under control." The owners of the culled birds would be provided with coupons at the time of culling and they would be compensated accordingly.
"They will get the same rate as was given to them in 2009", the minister said adding they would try to provide them with a higher rate.
Over 50,000 birds, including 20,000 ducks and pigeons, were affected with Bird Flu in the block, the sources said.

After 3 years, bird flu is back in West Bengal
Kolkata, Sept. 20:
Bird flu or avian influenza has resurfaced in West Bengal again after a gap of 3 years.
The State government on Tuesday confirmed incidents of bird flu in Nadia district. According to senior Government officials, incidents of avian influenza have been confirmed in poultry samples collected from two villages in Tehatta Block 1 of the district.
Samples collected from the villages were sent to the High Security Animal Disease Laboratory (HSADL) in Bhopal where they tested positive for the H5N1 strain.
“The State Government has ordered immediate culling of birds and destruction of eggs and feed material to control the spread of the disease. Around 50,000 birds will be culled,” a senior State Animal Resource Department official said. According to senior State government officials, culling of the entire poultry stock within a three kilometre radius of the affected villages will be carried out.
Surveillance will also be carried out across the affected villages as well as those within a 10-km radius, and in districts bordering Nadia.
The West Bengal Government has been asked to furnish a daily report to the Centre.
PRECAUTIONS
The Centre has advised a series of strategic actions to be taken up immediately in the area by the Animal Husbandry and Public Health Departments. It has issued guidelines to ban the movement of poultry and its products in the infected areas; closure of poultry and egg markets and shops within a radius of 10 km from the infected site; ban on movement of farm personnel; restricting access to wild and stray birds, infected premises; disposal of dead birds and infected materials; clean-up and disinfection followed by sealing of the premises.
The Union Government will share costs of compensation on 50:50 basis with the State government for the loss of poultry on account of culling and destruction of birds.
New virus: India to start culling

New Delhi - Authorities in eastern India will start culling chickens and destroying eggs to contain a new outbreak of H5 bird flu, the government said on Tuesday, as a mutant strain of the virus is spreads elsewhere in Asia.
Surveillance was stepped up in West Bengal, a state severely hit by bird flu outbreaks in the past.
The federal government is pushing local authorities to ban the movement of poultry and its products, and restricting access to the affected area after samples tested positive for H5, a government statement said.
"It has been decided to immediately commence the culling of birds and destruction of eggs and feed material to control further spread of the disease," it said.
Last month, the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) warned of a possible resurgence of bird flu and said a mutant strain of the H5N1 virus was spreading in Asia and beyond.
It was not immediately clear if the latest outbreak in India was related to the new Asian strain.
Virologists warn there is no vaccine against the H5N1 strain recently found in China and Vietnam that could potentially carry risks for humans and called for closer monitoring of the disease in poultry and wild birds to stop it spreading.
Bird flu first broke out in India in 2006 and millions of chickens and ducks have been culled since to contain the virus, but it has resurfaced from time to time.
India did not give further details about the exact strain of flu found in the latest outbreak West Bengal.

The West Bengal government confirmed cases of avian flu in two villages under the Tehatta 1 block of the State's Nadia district on Tuesday and ordered the culling of all poultry birds within a radius of 3 km of the villages.
The government has also ordered the immediate destruction of eggs and feed material within the affected radius to control the spread of the disease.
According to a senior official of the State's Animal Resource Development Department, poultry samples collected from the two villages tested positive for H5 strain of avian influenza at both the Eastern Region Disease Diagnostic Laboratory in the city as well as the High Security Animal Disease Laboratory in Bhopal.
The official said that orders had been sent out for immediate culling of over 50,000 poultry birds in the two affected villages as well as in around 25 other villages located within a 3 km radius of the two villages.
“In addition to the culling strategy, surveillance will be carried out over a further radius up to 10 km. Apart from this, surveillance has also been strengthened in other parts of the State, especially the districts sharing border with Nadia,” he added.
The government has been asked to furnish a daily report on the control and containment operations to the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairy and Fisheries. The Centre has advised a series of strategic actions to be taken immediately in the area by the Animal Husbandry and Public Health Departments.
These include declaration of infected and surveillance areas, ban on movement of poultry and its products in the infected area or enclosure of poultry and egg markets and shops within a radius of 10 km from the infected site, ban on movement of farm personnel, restricting access to wild and stray birds, restricting access to the infected premises, destruction of birds, disposal of dead birds and infected material, clean-up and disinfection followed by sealing of the premises and issue of sanitisation certificate, post operations surveillance and imposition of legislative measures along with necessary measures laid down in the Contingency Plan (2005) of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
“As regards compensation for loss of poultry on account of culling and destruction of birds, the rate for payment of compensation has been indicated to the State governments,” the official said.
The Centre has conveyed the decision to share costs of compensation equally with the State government and authorised the government to utilise funds available with them under the Centrally-sponsored programme ‘Assistance to States for Control of Animal Disease' (ASCAD).

Bird Flu Confirmed In WB’s Southern Region Of Nadia
Even though the cases were not yet alarming, the panic of bird flu (H5N1) was confirmed by the research laboratory in Bhopal.
Culling of poultry birds including chicken and ducks by veterinarians would start in a region covering approximately 25 villages.
Bird flu first hit the country (India) in the year 2006 whilst in West Bengal it was first reported in the year 2007 and in a large scale in the year 2008 when several regions got affected, resulting into the culling of more than four million poultry birds.
Avian flu had spread to 11 regions of West Bengal in 2008.
A few of the most affected regions comprised Burdwan, Malda, Hooghly, Murshidabad, South Dinajpur, Bankura, Purulia, Birbhum, Nadia, Cooch Behar and Howrah.
No human contagions have been reported from India.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1, also called "bird flu", A(H5N1) or basically H5N1, is a subtype of the influenza A virus that can lead to infection in human beings and several other animal species.
A bird-adapted strain of H5N1, called HPAI A(H5N1) for "highly pathogenic avian influenza virus of type A of subtype H5N1", is the contributory agent of H5N1 flu, commonly named as "avian influenza" or "bird flu".
The majority of human contractions of the avian flu are the outcome of either treating deceased infected birds or from contact with contaminated fluids.

Experts yesterday suggested consuming full-boiled or full-fried eggs rather than the half-boiled or half-fried ones to avoid exposure to the avian flu virus (H5N1) that may be passed on to the eggs from the flu inflicted birds.
They also advised consumers to wash the eggs and their hands with soap to avoid possible transmission of the virus to human body.
The eggs of birds inflicted with H5N1 contain potential germ of avian influenza in its crust.
The speakers were addressing an orientation programme on Avian and Human Influenza at the conference room of Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) in the city.
IEDCR, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, UNICEF, Department of Livestock Services (DLS), Ministry of Agriculture, World Health Organisation and Food and Agriculture Organisation jointly organised the programme.
Slaughtering sick poultry without being sure of its disease and throwing out dead poultry or the wastage of slaughtered poultry in the open are common practices of people responsible for the spreading of bird flu, said UNICEF's specialist Shamshuddin Ahmed.
Since March 22, 2007 a total of 524 bird flu cases have been detected throughout the country while 166 cases were recorded this year, according to latest information of DLS.
In Bangladesh, April to September marks the peak season for the spreading of bird flu.
Laboratory confirmed three cases of H5N1 transmission in human body though there is yet no death by the virus recorded in Bangladesh.
However, 564 cases of H5N1 transmission were recorded worldwide and 330 died in the flu since 2003.
“Analysing the nature of the virus, it is found that the virus may take dangerous shape after mutation. That's why scientists are considering bird flu seriously”, said IEDCR Director Professor Mahmudur Rahman.
Director of Animal Health and Administration of DLS Dr Mussaddique Hossain said awareness is needed among the people to reduce the spreading of the disease.
He sought media cooperation to create awareness among people on this matter.

U.S. to help Bangladesh combat bird
flu
Bird flu, also known as Avian flu virus H5N1often causes pandemic threat in the Asian region, including Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam.
Bangladesh has accepted an offer from the United States to combat the bird flu virus by developing "seed virus," a key ingredient to make a vaccine in an emergency.
Bangladesh will share a new
strain of bird flu virus with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) to develop the virus for scientific use, confirmed health
secretary Muhammad Humayun Kabir on Sunday.
Bird flu, also known as avian flu virus H5N1, often causes an pandemic threat in the Asian region, including Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam.
United Nations agency FAO in August said the contagious avian flu remains firmly entrenched in Bangladesh because of unhygienic trade practices. The UN body warned of a possible major resurgence of bird flu as FAO observed a mutant strain of the H5N1 virus was spreading in Asia.
The CDC approached health authorities in the first week of September for government authorization to use the virus.
The strain was found in humans last March and detected by the Institute of Epidemiology Disease Control and Research (IEDCR), but countrywide surveillance had determined it was mild in nature. This was recently confirmed by the CDC.
Bangladesh experienced 524 recorded Avian flu outbreaks and the livestock department culled over 2.4 million chickens across the country after the first outbreak in March 2007.
According to the World Health Organization, factors responsible for the entrenchment of the virus are complex production and market chains. Eliminating the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus from poultry in the Asian countries will take 10 or more years, it cautioned.http://www.allheadlinenews.com/artic...t%20bird%20flu

Robert Webster: 'We ignore bird flu at our peril'
Saturday, 17 September 2011 18.30 EDT
With the UN issuing renewed warnings and a Hollywood disaster movie stoking our fears, bird flu is back in the news. We meet the man who first warned of a pandemic 50 years ago – and who is worried again now
In Steven Soderbergh's new bio-thriller, Contagion, the audience is kept guessing about the killer's identity until the final frame. Is it the mu shu pork that Gwyneth Paltrow consumed in a Kowloon diner or is it, as Laurence Fishburne, playing the deputy director of the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, suggests, all the fault of the birds? "Someone doesn't have to weaponise the bird flu," he intones at one point. "The birds are doing that."In the end, Soderbergh appears to have it both ways, suggesting that the culprit is a combination of bird flu and nipah, a bat-borne virus prevalent on Malaysian pig farms. In real life, however, there is little doubt about where the true threat lies.
"I haven't seen the film yet but bird flu is the real killer lurking in the shadows," says Robert Webster, the world's pre-eminent expert on bird flu, when I catch up with him en route from Oxford to Malta where he has back-to-back influenza conferences. "Nature has already shown us that there is a virus out there that kills 50% of the people it infects. We ignore it at our peril."

The virus that keeps Webster awake at night is H5N1.... http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/sep/17/bird-flu-swine-flu-warning#
