KATHMANDU, Feb 16: With the growing incidence of bird flu in the Valley, vet officials and technicians have been encountering intense resistance and threats from poultry farmers, the Directorate of Animal Health (DoAH) said. Due to the resistance and threats from farmers, efforts to control the disease have becoming a serious challenge for the officials.
According to DoAH officials, poultry farmers have even stopped reporting the death of fowls to veterinary offices, which they said is a dangerous trend and a great threat to public health.
The office said that strains of H5N1 virus have been spreading rapidly in the poultry farms of the Valley and adjoining districts. This week alone, the capital witnessed four outbreaks of the virus, in which over 12,000 chickens were culled.
In the last one-and-half months, a seventh outbreak has occurred in the district. Rapid response teams comprising vets destroyed thousands of chickens in Dhading, Nuwakot, Bhaktapur and Lalitpur during this period.
"The disease has been spreading rapidly and we have been encountering more resistance from farmers," said Dr Narayan Prasad Ghimire, senior veterinarian at DoAH, adding, "They tried to dare the rapid response teams to destroy the infected chickens."
The office had to seek the assistance of police to carry out disinfection in several farms.
Ghimire, who is also spokesperson of DoAH, said that the trend of obstructing vet officials disinfecting the tainted farms is dangerous.
"Had we not intervened on time, they (farmers) would sell all the ailing chickens in the market," he added. He said that due to the resistance of farmers, the office could not assure that all the chicken in the market is safe for consumption.
DoAH-deployed surveillance officers have been complaining that the farmers do not even let them enter their poultry farms for inspection."We cannot take the police to each and every farm for inspection," Dr Ghimire added.
In recent outbreaks, several farmers have themselves dumped the dead chicken without informing veterinary officials.
Veterinary doctors said that farmers are at high risk of contracting the disease. They urged the farmers to exercise high alert and inform vet officials if chickens start to die in huge numbers. Fowls avoiding feed, standing still with the head down and excreting saliva could be symptoms of infection by the H5N1 virus, vet officials said.

by David Levin
From Harvard Magazine
Bird flu (H5N1) has receded from international headlines for the moment, as few human cases of the deadly virus have been reported this year. But when Dutch researchers recently created an even more deadly strain of the virus in a laboratory for research purposes, they stirred grave concerns about what would happen if it escaped into the outside world. “Part of what makes H5N1 so deadly is that most people lack an immunity to it,” explains Marc Lipsitch [11], a professor of epidemiology at Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) who studies the spread of infectious diseases. “If you make a strain that’s highly transmissible between humans, as the Dutch team did, it could be disastrous if it ever escaped the lab.”
H5N1 first made global news in early 1997 after claiming two dozen victims in Hong Kong. The virus normally occurs only in wild birds and farm-raised fowl, but in those isolated early cases, it made the leap from birds to humans. It then swept unimpeded through the bodies of its initial human victims, causing massive hemorrhages in the lungs and death in a matter of days. Fortunately, during the past 15 years, the virus has claimed only 400 victims worldwide—although the strain can jump species, it hasn’t had the ability to move easily from human to human, a critical limit to its spread.

Indonesia: Batam with #H5N1 Avian Influenza in Chickens
DOK
"This case could have been avoided if farmers want to report early for chicken deaths have occurred since the beginning of January and the new farmers reported a few weeks ago," he said in Batam, Thursday (14 / 2). Having received a report from a breeder, the Animal Husbandry Department of Batam lower PDSR Team (Participatory Disease Surveillance and Response) to perform pamantauan and inspection of the site and the results of the rapid test is known birds that died suddenly due to bird flu positive exposure. For that, Suhartini appealed to farmers not to sell to consumers sick or carrying out of the farm locations so that the virus does not spread. The farmers are also required to comply with preventive measures, not to infect humans.
Meanwhile, thousands of chickens were not infected in the endemic areas of the Kelurahan Air Raja, Kecamatan Bulang, dan Seitemiang, Kecamatan Batuaji, has been annihilated by buried with distance one kilometer from the plague. Batam Mayor Ahmad Dahlan, said that there are thousands of tail in endemic areas should be culled to stop the spread of bird flu virus.

Britain reports novel coronavirus family cluster

CIDRAP

CIDRAP
Excerpt:
The HPA continues to monitor close contacts of the two new CoV
patients, as well as members of health teams treating them. The ECDC
said so far none have shown symptoms
The ECDC also said the HPA is in contact with an airline to follow
up on passengers who may have been exposed to the virus while flying
with the first patient.
In another development related to 60-year-old man's infection,
Ziad Memish, MD, Saudi Arabia's deputy minister for public health,
yesterday suggested that health experts reconsider the current CoV case
definition, according to his post on ProMED-Mail, the online reporting
system of the International Society for Infectious Diseases.
He wrote that although the HPA emphasized the patient's travel to
the Middle East, the incubation period and the appearance of symptoms
are ambiguous enough to warrant a more cautious statement. "…it remains
unknown where and when this patient became infected," he wrote.
Memish also urged caution about interpreting the pH1N1
co-infection until the test results are confirmed by an independent
source. He said a thorough search hasn't turned up any similar dual
infections in Saudi Arabia.
Surveillance for SARIs in Saudi Arabia is ongoing, tests on 300
sick Hajj pilgrims found no coronavirus cases, and personal
communications with French and Egyptian health officials have also
revealed no CoV infections, Memish wrote.
He pressed for an expanded search for more cases. "Thus far it is
less associated with focused or even regional outbreaks than it is with
sporadic disease in widely separated locales. Unless and until SARI
investigations are expanded, our understanding of its epidemiology and
disease spectrum will remain limited. An urgent discussion of the
current case definition is needed.
Coronavirus: Further UK case of novel coronavirus (person-to-person transmission has occurred)
UK Health Protection Agency
13 February 2013
The Health Protection Agency (HPA) can confirm a further case of novel coronavirus infection in a family member of the case announced on Monday 11 February. The patient, who is a UK resident, does not have any recent travel history and is currently receiving intensive care treatment at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham. It is understood that this patient has an existing medical condition that may make them more susceptible to respiratory infections. This latest case brings the total number of confirmed cases globally to 11, of which three have been diagnosed in the UK.
Professor John Watson, head of the respiratory diseases department at the HPA, said: "Confirmed novel coronavirus infection in a person without travel history to the Middle East suggests that person-to-person transmission has occurred, and that it occurred in the UK. This case is a family member who was in close personal contact with the earlier case and who may have been at greater risk of acquiring an infection because of their underlying health condition.
“To date, evidence of person-to-person transmission has been limited. Although this case provides strong evidence for person to person transmission, the risk of infection in most circumstances is still considered to be very low. If novel coronavirus were more infectious, we would have expected to have seen a larger number of cases than we have seen since the first case was reported three months ago. However, this new development does justify, the measures that were immediately put into place to prevent any further spread of infection and to identify and follow up contacts of known cases.
“We will continue to provide advice and support to healthcare workers looking after the patients and to contacts of both cases.
"In light of this latest case we would like to emphasise that the risk associated with novel coronavirus to the general UK population remains very low. The HPA will continue to work closely with national and international health authorities and will share any further advice with health professionals and the public if and when more information becomes available."
