Avian influenza (influenza A/H5N1) is probably just from the sporadic outbreak will spread on a large scale if the government and local people have no preventive measures in time.
From day 9 / 10, only from a family of ducks in Nghia Ha, Tu Nghia District, Quang Ngai province with about 2,200 children die and then rise gradually scattered.
Avian influenza will be minimized if the implementation of preventive measures in time
After receiving the report, Nghia Ha veterinary stations sampled and sent for testing. The result was to send all 3 samples are tested positive for influenza A H5N1 virus.
Pm on 11/10, local authorities and Quang Ngai Veterinary expeditiously destroy the said ducks and pepper spray chemicals infections, detoxifying the outbreak area.
Earlier, in late August, Tinh Phong commune, Son Tinh District, Quang Ngai Province, flock of more than 1,500 children a family has tested positive for H5N1.
Day 9 / 9, the disease reappeared in 3200 ducks, 750 children and children of two other families in the district of Tu Nghia Nghia Hanh district ... and then, influenza A H5N1 appeared scattered in several districts in Quang Ngai.
According to the understanding of reporters, most birds are breeding in Quang Ngai province since April 2010, that is, not Vaccination was one. Meanwhile, the vaccination plan for phase 2 in September this year again delayed because resources are not enough vaccine. On the other hand, the livestock farmers do not actively use measures to prevent disease in their flocks.
Many reasons are given to justify the number of poultry died of the disease, but suppose, the immediate need is immediate and local people need to actively coordinate to prevent the spread of disease, not to Sporadic outbreaks of widespread outbreaks. /.

Egypt: Can Not Predict Nature of Next Wave of H5N1 or H1N1 This Winter
Friday, October 15, 2010
Dr. Majid Othman, Head of Information Centre and the Council of Ministers Decision Support and Head of the Central Chamber of crises to follow up the developments viral spread of avian influenza and swine, it is currently difficult to predict the nature of the next wave for any of the viruses with the advent of winter.
وقال عثمان فى تصريحات خاصة لليوم السابع على هامش توقيع اتفاقية مشاركة 4 مدن مصرية بالحملة العاملية لمجابهة الكوارث، أن الخطورة الحقيقية لفيروس أنفلونزا الخنازير كانت أقل من المتوقع، لكن خطورة أنفلونزا الطيور مازالت مستمرة.
Osman said in a special statement for the seventh day on the sidelines of the signing of the post 4 cities Egyptian campaign to counter the global disaster, that the real risk to the swine flu virus was less than expected, but the seriousness of avian influenza is still continuing.

Highly Pathogenic Bird Flu Virus Can Survive Months on Steel or Glass at Cooler Temperatures
ScienceDaily (Oct. 14, 2010) — On the eve of the 2010-11 influenza flu season, scientists and engineers have identified the environmental conditions and surfaces that could enable a highly pathogenic (H5N1) bird flu virus to survive for prolonged periods of time -- at least two weeks and up to two months. Among them: The virus appears to thrive at cooler temperatures and low humidity. The study, which could lead to new strategies for preventing the flu virus from spreading, appears in ACS' Environmental Science & Technology.
Joseph Wood and colleagues note that the highly pathogenic (H5N1) avian influenza virus so far has been rare but dangerous in humans, with mortality rates of about 60 percent. Although the H5N1 virus may spread to humans by direct contact with infected birds or other virus-contaminated material, health experts are concerned that the virus could evolve to develop the ability to spread from person to person, and cause serious outbreaks. However, there is little information on how different environmental conditions and materials affect H5N1's survival.
The scientists investigated the ability of a strain of highly pathogenic H5N1 originating from Viet Nam to survive on a variety of materials under different environmental conditions, including changes in temperature, humidity, and simulated sunlight. The materials included glass, wood, steel, soil, and chicken feces. They found that H5N1 survived longer (up to two weeks) at cooler temperatures -- around 39 degrees Fahrenheit -- but lasted only up to one day at room temperature. The virus also tends to persist at low humidity and no sunlight and on certain surfaces, including glass and steel. Although when exposed to simulated sunlight, the virus survived longer on soil and chicken feces compared to the other materials. It could potentially survive for up to two months on those materials, they estimate.
At low temperatures and low humidity, the virus actually survived longer on steel, glass, and soil than in chicken feces, a common source for spreading the virus. "Measures taken to contain and inactivate the virus, especially in these areas or conditions, may be warranted," the article notes.

Chicken carcasses Beware!
Friday, 15-10-2010
INFORMATION outbreak of the chicken carcass sales, proceeds from Upeks findings in one of the trade center in number of broiler Abubakar Lambogo Jl. There, several times received a request chicken carcasses.

He said he deeply regrets the re-discovery of chickens infected with bird flu. Re-occurrence of cases in the RT 24 Source Rejo, due to act of the people who do not care will appeal that had been digencarkan it, considering afian influenza virus infected after the people who bring in chickens from a location that has tested positive for bird flu.
"We also regret, because due to the people who buy chicken at a cheap price of the family in Sepinggan, though its location has been declared positive, so the virus was brought chicken he bought it," explained Rachel.

However, it dismissed the notion that states that the rapid growth of the bird flu case caused by the slow handling by his side, but it was suspected that the gene mutation has occurred on the bird flu virus that caused a mix of nucleotides (molecules that form a series of H5N1 virus).
"At this time the H5N1 strain was traced her, whether the same as was the case in South Kalimantan, South Sulawesi, or who, because of the virus most likely came from two regions," he added.

Bird Flu Was Followed By The Other Illness [Central Java]
October 14 2010
Purwokerto - The bird flu Illness that attacks the poultry in the Banyumas territory up to now was still being difficult to be controlled. The problem, the cause virus of this illness had the trend be mutated as well as brought the other prospective illness.
That was revealed by Chairman Council Ekonomy Livestock Central Java, Gembong Heru Nugroho, responded to the case emergence of bird flu in Banyumas.
"Till now the bird flu illness is still continuing to be available. Moreover, this illness emergence was precisely followed by the other illness or happened the complication with the other illness like ND (New Castle Deseases-Red) or the bronchitis infection," said he, yesterday.
According to Gembong, bird flu unlike previously again that could be handled with giving of the vaccine and spraying of disinfectant. Now the vaccine is not effective any more.
This illness could also cause the occurrence of the decline in the productivity, especially in the layer. "Moreover, the decline in this productivity could reach 60 percent," he said.
Moreover, he continued, the egg shell that usually is brown could become white when the layer infected bird flu. This condition was very damaging the breeder. Moreover the illness kind that attacked the poultry also even more.
His side also regretted the government that at this time no longer gives the vaccine to the breeders. In fact, to prevent the occurrence of the case of bird flu, one of his methods of being the poultry must be given the vaccine routinely every time three months.
"The regional government since 2-3 last year no longer gave the vaccine to the breeder. As a result, the breeder was overwhelmed. In fact, in West Java giving of the vaccine was still proceeding," he stated.
This condition was still being increased with the price increase was buying food, while the selling price of the egg experienced the decline. For the breeder that maintained in the number that many, the possibility could be still remaining. However for the small scale breeder, like available in the Sumbang Subdistrict, was enough difficult to remain.
Gembong added, the bird flu emergence was also influenced by the weather. The extreme weather that takes place now really influence the development of the virus H5N1 and poultry resistance.

His side not yet ditetapka him Kaur berstatus KLB.
Considering his spreading that like that did not yet spread and spread to manusia. but this has been done the report to the Service of Kesehatan Povinsi Bengkulu only the resident hoped careful mengkomsumsi meat, even so with if the characteristics of the poultry often has experienced was sick hoped immediately it was reported to the official or the subdistrict side so that the existence of the handling early. The "community was asked to be participating for the handling" of "this bird flu." Uptil now the difficulty dealt with the spreading of this virus because of the awareness of the very low resident. With this status was hoped for penangann him more was increased again. Moreover the government support and the resident also must more, this could not have been it was considered normal, 10 tails that in the Village nusuk was studied by us came back for the following sample "said Buyung Sementara Itu, this morning rencanaya will be carried out by the extermination against hundreds of poultries that were attacked by this deadly virus, because of that his side was doing uapaya this handling." This was caused by the change in the climate that not menentu. tomorrow (the day ini,red) we will carry out the extermination of the poultry with penguburuan and the burning of the poultry he explained

The total toll from "mysterious" fever has continued to escalate with 13
more deaths reported from Ramabai Nagar district ([formerly] Kanpur Dehat)
on Sunday [10 Oct 2010]. More and more people infected with the
unidentified virus have flocked the district hospital in Akbarpur. So far,
256 people have already died during the past few days. A team of district
officials visited the affected villages on Sunday [10 Oct 2010] to
ascertain the facts and figures of human casualties. It has been learnt
during the visit that as many as 400 people, most of whom are minors, are
down with fever.
The disease started from Ahrauli Sheikh village in Amraudha block and
within a month spread to 48 villages, housing 3000 families. It was also
learnt that the infants who fell victim to the disease were suffering from
acute malnutrition. "The infants were suffering from malnutrition and that
made some of them vulnerable to the killer virus," said district nodal
officer (epidemic) Arvind Sachan.

Lalat Can Spread Bird Flu

TARAKAN- Head of Public Health and Food Crop Husbandry Department Tarakan, DVM Wikan Cahya Addi said, flies can become a medium-to-human spread of bird flu.
In addition, the virus can be transmitted if we come in contact with fellow human beings who just touched the bird flu infected poultry.
"So there is little possibility of bird flu was circulating when we are in the areas affected by bird flu, then with dust, vehicle and birds can also make us infected with bird flu," he said.
To anticipate this widening bird flu outbreak, Wikan appealed to all farmers and poultry owners to wash their hands immediately after touching poultry. This meant that the bird flu is not contagious to humans.
"Can wash with a disinfectant, detergent or soap with bath also includes a disinfectant. Because of bird flu has also spread to humans through airborne dust, then this should mengkandangkan poultry farmers, "he said
