No bird flu virus in Płock - Kobielniki

05.12.2007

The 170 chickens found dead on a poultry farm in the village of Kobielniki near Płock (central Poland) were not infected with the bird flu virus, the Veterinary Institute in Puławy has announced.

Tests have confirmed though that the H5N1 virus killed hens on a farm in Myśliborzyce, where it was previously detected on a turkey farm.

A specially appointed crisis team has already made a decision to slaughter 2200 birds from 60 farms in Myśliborzyce, Unijewo and Rokito. The birds will be caught and terminated on Wednesday afternoon.

On Tuesday, road traffic restrictions were introduced on the national road No. 62 in the infected zone.

In the villages of Nowe Duninowo and Karolew special disinfection mats were spread on the road surface and the police patrols are checking vehicles coming in and out of the infected zone. (mj

Sat Dec 8, 2007

WARSAW (Reuters) - A fourth centre of the H5N1 bird flu virus has been found in central Poland, about 50 km (30 miles) from three sites found last week, chief veterinary officer Ewa Lech said on Saturday.

It was found after those discovered at the beginning of December in two breedings of turkeys to 120 km in the North-West of Warsaw. A zone of safety of 10 km around this new hearth was founded by the authorities, indicated the spokesman of the prefect Maciej Wiewior. According to station private Radio operator Z, some 200 chickens died in a farm close of Zuromin, touched by potentially dangerous virus H5N1 for the man. Around the first two hearths, in the villages of Uniejewo and Mysliborzyce, of the zones of protection of three kilometers and observation of ten kilometers, had also been founded. The two firm ones were completely insulated and 4200 poultry for slaughter. They are first noted aviary cases of influenza this year in Poland and of the first cases ever noted in a breeding of this country. Last year, of the cases of this disease had been detected in wild birds. The European Commission prohibited on December 3 poultry exports of the infected area.

H5N1 in Poland Chicken Farm

Recombinomics Commentary
December 8, 2007

A zone of safety of 10 km around this new hearth was founded by the authorities, indicated the spokesman of the prefect Maciej Wiewior. According to station private Radio operator Z, some 200 chickens died in a farm close of Zuromin, touched by potentially dangerous virus H5N1 for the man.

The above translation describes a fourth poultry outbreak in Poland. The first three were close together and resulted in infected meat distributed to retail meat and restaurant establishments. The new location (see satellite map) is about 50 km from the earlier outbreaks.

It is likely that this new outbreak is also linked to migratory birds. Recently the sequence of H5N1 from a whooper swan in Krasnodar was released. It was virtually identical to the sequence of H5N1 from a chicken on an infected farm. Both sequences traced back to a wild bird outbreak in Mongolia at Uva Lake. Similar sequences were in wild birds in Germany, the Czech Republic, and France over the summer. Recently, similar sequences were found in turkey outbreaks in England. It is likely that similar sequences will also be found in the recent outbreaks in Romania.

The multiple recent infections in Krasnodar, England, Romania, and Poland suggest H5N1 is silently circulating in wild birds in the region. So far only Krasnodar has isolates the H5N1 from wild birds, but the wild bird sequences that trace back to Uva Lake appear to be widespread in Europe.

Rosselkhoznadzor said the restrictions also apply to bird feed and feed additives, as well as used bird-farming equipment.
Poland is still subject to a two-year Russian embargo on its meat products, imposed over allegations Poland was supplying poor-quality meat from third countries.


In retaliation, Poland has vetoed talks on a new Russia-EU partnership and cooperation agreement.

Center-right politician Donald Tusk's election as Polish prime minister has prompted hopes that Warsaw will take a more accommodating stance on disputes with Russia, including on the meat issue.
