  • Jharkhand: Crow deaths put poultry under scanner - New strain of H5N1 confirmed; Unidentified disease kills hundreds of chickens in Udhava - possibly Newcastle disease (Ranikhet)

    No mention of what they think "the disease" is, but H5N1 must be a consideration. It seems that mosquito borne diseases are also possible.

    Crow deaths put poultry under scanner
    OUR CORRESPONDENT


    Jamshedpur civil surgeon Vibha Sharan held a meeting with an expert team from New Delhi-based National Institute of Communicable Disease (NICD) on Sunday on the precautionary measures that need to be adopted in the context of mysterious crow deaths in the region.

    The meet, also attended by other health department officials, concluded that it was important to keep an eye on poultry products.

    During the meeting, the NICD team presented slide shows to apprise how humans could protect themselves from the contagious disease.

    While talking to The Telegraph, Sharan said: ?Though there is no precedence of the disease spreading directly from a bird to a human body, poultry products are susceptible to the malady which is triggering deaths of the flying scavengers. So, poultry products need to be examined properly,? said Sharan, adding there was no need for residents to panic.

    The experts urged the civil surgeon to ensure that those who deal with poultry inform the district health department or the animal husbandry department if they record premature death of chickens or observe anything unusual about them.

    ...

    Conservator of forest and in-charge of divisional forest office, Dhalbhum, Sanjiv Kumar said another three-member team which had come to the steel city from Indian Vetenary Research Institute, Bhopal, on Saturday, had collected about a dozen mosquitoes of various species from those places where crow deaths had been reported.

    ...

    Meanwhile, deaths of parrots were also reported from various places on the outskirts of the city including, Mango, Karandih, Azadnagar and Parsudih.

    Several residents have informed about the deaths of the talking birds to local media during the last 48 hours.

    Vets probe crow deaths
    OUR CORRESPONDENT

    Jamshedpur, Nov 19: A three-member team from Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI) in Bareilly swung into action today to determine why crows were dying en masse in the steel city.

    The team comprising Rajender Singh, Chakradhar Tosh and D.K. Singh collected four 30 carcasses from different places, including Marine Drive in Kadma, Sonari and Tata Main Hospital premises. The team also took a round of the area near Jayanti Sarovar in Jubilee Park.

    ...

    The team members said they were startled at the number of crow deaths in Jamshedpur. Nearly 500 crows have died over the last one-and-a-half months.

    It is believed that the team is looking into various factors, including the recent spread of chikungunya, encephalitis and dengue in the steel city, as well as the quality of water. ?These are preliminary doubts and it is too early to say anything,? said Palit, adding that chances of crows dying due to vector-borne disease could not be ruled out.

    ...

    The IVRI team visited Jamshedpur on the request of the district forest department. ?Besides sending samples of dead crows to Bareilly, we had also requested the IVRI director to send a fact-finding team,? the DFO said.

      Experts probe crow riddle
      OUR CORRESPONDENT
      Jamshedpur, Nov. 26: A three-member team from Bhopal?s Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI) landed in the city today to collect samples to identify a mystery scourge that has been wiping out the scavenger population.

      The experts, led by scientist R. Nagarjuna, visited Jubilee Park and Tata zoo and picked up carcasses and blood sample for tests. The team, which comprises experts Kalai Arjun and Manoj, besides Nagarjuna, will visit Chaibasa tomorrow for more samples, before they leave for Bhopal.

      ?We had approached the IVRI director for help, who had in turn sent a three-member general team from its Bareilly-based head office to collect specimens and blood samples,? saidDhalbhum divisional forest officer Sanjeev Kumar. He added that the Bhopal team, members of which specialised in virology, had made their way to the city now for cross verification.

      Meanwhile, a two-member team from New Delhi-based National Institute of Communicable Diseases also landed in the city in the evening. Speaking to The Telegraph, East Singhbhum civil surgeon Vibha Sharan said that though nothing was clear, the experts suspected that the viral strain was H5N1, which is deadlier than the swine flu virus.

        Currently bird flu is reported from West Bengal State, bordering Jharkhand State.


        Crow-scare: Dead birds spark bird flu fears in Jharkhand

        Posted On Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at 02:46:10 AM

        Ranchi Crows dropping dead in cities and towns across Jharkhand have sparked panic among the people of the state after health officials pointed a finger at avian virus.

        The Jharkhand animal husbandry department (AHD) has sounded an alert and asked people not to touch the dead crows. It has issued advertisements in local dailies asking people to keep away from the dead birds and inform the administration when they spot dead crows.

        Health department officials suspect the crows are infected with H5 and H1 avian virus. “Human beings should stay away from the crows.

        If the virus enters the human body, it could take the shape of an epidemic,” a health department official told IANS.

        “An advisory has been issued considering the deaths of crows in many districts. Expert teams are trying to ascertain the reason behind the deaths of the crows,” animal husbandry department director A G Bandhopadhya told reporters.

        Dead crows have been found in large numbers in Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Bokaro, Khuti, Sahebganj and other districts of the state. A team of experts of the Indian Veterinary Research Institute of Bhopal is in Jharkhand to ascertain the reasons behind these deaths.

        Jharkhand has been keeping different institutes of the country and the Central government posted about the latest developments.

        Two months ago, West Bengal and Assam saw a spurt in bird flu cases, triggering culling of poultry and eggs.

        This prompted other states including Tripura to impose a ban on import of poultry products from these two states.

          Bird flu-like virus killing Jharkhand crows
          Jaideep Deogharia
          RANCHI: The Centre has sent an alert to the Jharkhand government to remain cautious about a possible poultry infection, after a mysterious bird flu-like virus is believed to have killed between 500 and 1,000 crows in Jamshedpur, Bokaro and parts of Hazaribagh. Though an official intimation from the Union animal husbandry department is still to reach the state, a study on the crow deaths conducted at the animal disease laboratory in Bhopal found a virus resembling that of bird flu. However, the study allays fears about cattle, poultry and humans being infected because the virus was detected only in the brain of the dead crows.

          ...

          While a sizable population among tribals in Jharkhand consume crow meat and are in danger of being infected, the department of animal husbandry under the state government has issued public awareness advertisements to handle dead crows carefully and bury them.

              Crow deaths in Giridih village

              VISHVENDU JAIPURIAR
              Hazaribagh, Dec. 1: A sudden spurt of crows deaths, similar to one in Jamshedpur, has triggered panic among residents of Kharagdiha village in Jamua block of Giridih, who have alerted veterinary surgeons fearing an epidemic.

              Residents have spotted dead crows regularly for the past few days, especially next to trees or in terraces. Besides the scavengers, pigeons and chickens have also died in an unusual manner.

              Julfikar Ali, a panchayat samiti member and resident of Jamua, said few pigeons at his home died in quick succession on Saturday. He approached government veterinary surgeon Ambuj Kumar who gave medicines to check the deaths.

              He, however, said the bird deaths were continuing unabated in the last three days. ?No steps have been taken by the local administration in this regard,? Ali added.

              Suresh Kumar, another villager, said that the number of crow deaths were maximum with no less than 50 since the weekend. ?This is the first time we have witnessed crow deaths in this manner in our area,? he added.

              Ram Prakash, a septuagenarian, said, ?We had lost various species of birds in the past, including sparrows. Now, it?s the turn of crows.?

              However, Ambuj argued that radiation from mobile towers could be one of the reasons behind the deaths or the birds might have been the victims of infections that spread from other carriers.

              Last week, Pune-based National Institute of Virology denied Japanese encephalitis or West Nile virus infection as causes of crow deaths after testing samples in Jamshedpur.

                Mystery wave of crow deaths hits Ranchi
                FRIDAY, 02 DECEMBER 2011 23:28 MUKESH RANJAN | RANCHI

                The mysterious disease that has caused the death of hundreds of crows has reached Ranchi with dozens of crows falling off trees and dying in a particular locality in the heart of the city over the last two days.

                Scores of crows have been found dead in the premises of St Mary’s Cathedral on Purulia Road, giving rise to a wave of speculation and panic over the unusual happening. The crows fall off their resting places and die within hours, observers said.

                “More than two dozen crows have died so far. They drop from the trees and die a slow and painful death. Once they drop, they are unable to fly again,” Paulus Lakda, caretaker of the church, said.

                ...

                Staff working in the Church for the last several years has never seen such a phenomenon. The first spate of such deaths occurred at Jubilee Park in Jamshedpur in September. Hundreds of crows died due to a mysterious disease during this period.

                “It is an unknown viral disease whose vector is not known yet. The resting site of the crows provides favourable conditions for the virus to spread,” KK Sharma, a renowned environmentalist and head of department of zoology at Co-operative College Jamshedpur, said.

                A team from Bhopal visiting Jamshedpur has speculated that if the dead crows come in contact with human beings, this disease may take the form of an epidemic. “A similar phenomenon had come to light in North America two years ago. It was named the Neel Virus,” Nitish Priyadarshi, an environmentalist in Ranchi, said. Though the visiting team of environmentalists from Bhopal in Jamshedpur has named the virus HN1H, the confusion regarding the naming persists among authorities in the State.



                Vet deptt asked to find out cause of crow deaths
                PTI | 05:12 PM,Dec 02,2011
                Ranchi, Dec 2 (PTI) In the wake of reports of crow deaths here, the local Wildlife division today asked the veterinary department to diagnose the disease that was responsible for the death of the birds. "At least ten crows were found dead in the premises of a church at Purulia road, while some more were grasping for breath on the ground," the Range Officer with Ranchi Wild Life Division, N K Srivastav, told PTI here. "We have asked the veterinary department to take necessary tests and diagnose the disease. This is the first instance of crow death found in Ranchi," he said. He said the union ministry of animal husbandry and the forest department would be informed about the matter. The crow deaths were being reported from various parts of Jharkhand for quite some time. Around 150 to 200 crows were found dead in the past four to six weeks from Jagannathpur sub division in West Singhbhum district, SDO Bhishm Kumar said. Recently, a forest department team had collected fecal matter of dead crows in Jubilee Park in Jamshedpur to send them to Indian Veterinary Research Laboratory, Izzatnagar in Uttar Pradesh to find out the cause behind the deaths.

                  On deaf ears the sound of crows
                  Dec 03, 01:58 am

                  Suman Chandra Singh, Jamshedpur Jubilee Park is silenced. Silence almost doleful. The more Kchot they walk in the park for that which is daily, who were accustomed to hearing the sound of crows. Hundreds of completed park was buzzing with the sound of the past fortnight ravens caw the sound is muted. Wakrs morning staring at the tree house was quite most of the Crows. Now to the park every day around a dozen crows are found dead. Those in regular walks in the park two months ago, the sound of the ravens was too harsh. Maybe dumb to tell his pain, but none of them do not worry. Today's results. 60 days later under those trees lay scattered where ever they arrived Kauvo ample wings to the entire park was buzzing. Today this place has been transformed into the cemetery. Dead crows neck - Adgle remnants can be seen. Crows of the silent movement is so far down the drain. Because neither can jam the street and surrounded Nor can the DC office. Voice of the Crows on deaf ears. Why should anyone listen? Some people are full of compassion is no one to listen to them. Crows will continue so long in such a conflict? Maybe by then, unless the city will be alive one member of their fraternity? Kolhan ten thousand crows have died so far.

                        The sudden phenomenon of crows dying in large numbers in the steel city has jolted an alarmed Jamshedpur Utilities and Services Company (Jusco) into action.
                        On the one hand, the Tata Steel subsidiary is taking initiatives to detect the virus responsible for the deaths while on the other hand, it is removing the carcasses from different localities. Jusco has also started carrying out extensive fogging as well as spraying of larvicides in areas where large numbers of the scavengers were found dead.
                        A senior manager of Jusco health services K.K. Lal said they had already sent carcasses of four crows to National Institute of Virology (NIV), Pune, to find out whether any virus was responsible for the deaths and whether there was a pattern behind the phenomenon. The experts will also find out whether the disease, if any, was a threat to humans.
                        ?We are acting on the directions of Jusco managing director Manish Sharma. The carcasses have already reached the Pune institute and experts have begun examinations. A report is expected by Wednesday,? Lal added.
                        He added that another consignment containing a dead crow?s viscera, brain and blood sample would shortly be sent to Bareilly-based Indian Veterinary Research Institute.
                        The buzz is that the deaths are being caused by the vector-borne arbovirus that spreads through mosquito bites.
                        Jusco has collected over 300 dead crows by now and is carrying out fogging at Circuit House, Jubilee Park, Northern Town, Kadma Sonari Link Road, South Park, Bistupur and Sonari.

                        The latest victim of mosquito bites is the common crow with steel city ornithologists raising an alarm over an unusual number of deaths witnessed over the last month.
                        Over 500 crows have died which works out to 10 per cent of their population of 5,000 in Jamshedpur.
                        ?Crows are dying at an alarming rate and they are victims of the arbovirus, which affects the brain of its target. It is a vector-borne disease that spreads through mosquito bites,? Jamshedpur?s well-known bird enthusiast K.K. Sharma told The Telegraph.
                        Arbovirus is a term used to refer to a group of viruses that are transmitted by arthropod vectors. The word arbovirus is an acronym for arthropod-borne virus.
                        Bizarre reports of crows lying on the ground, dying a slow death, have come in from various localities, including Bistupur, Northern Town, Circuit House Area, Golmuri, Telco, Sonari and Kadma. ?At some places people found crows crawling on the ground before dying,? said the head of zoology department at Jamshedpur Co-operative College.
                        This morning a resident of Parsi Colony was horrified to find as many as four crows lying dead on the road under a tree near his house near Jubilee Park. ?Besides the four, I found two more crows were on the verge of dying as they were crawling,? said the former Tata Steel executive M.K. Khambata.
                        Chief conservator (wildlife) A.K. Gupta is worried too. Deaths of crows, he said, in East Singhbhum district in large numbers was a dangerous trend, perhaps indicating an outbreak of an unknown disease.
                        ?A fortnight ago I had asked the divisional forest officer of Dhalbhum to submit a report on the issue as I received several complaints of crow deaths from various parts of the district. But the report is not yet ready,? said the senior forest officer.
                        A local rights group, Jharkhand Human Rights Conference, is thinking of asking the Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board (JSPCB) and the state environment department to look into the matter without delay.
                        Manoj Kumar Mishra, president of the conference, said their immediate concern was the kind of effect the virus would have on local residents. ?If we are unable to take necessary measures to stop the crow deaths, we may have to face a serious health issue in the near future,? he feared.
                        What should the forest department do to save crows?

                              No clear picture on crow deaths

                              A.S.R.P. MUKESH
                              Ranchi, Dec. 3: The state animal husbandry department may still not be sure why crows are dying en masse in Jharkhand, but the forest department today declared avian virus H5N1 as the culprit.

                              The government is yet to officially release the findings of a three-member team from Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI) in Bareilly, which visited Jamshedpur in third week of November after crow deaths rocked the city.

                              However, the forest department today procured a copy of the findings from the Centre, which mentions H5N1 as the killer.

                              Speaking to The Telegraph, chief conservator of forests (wildlife) A.K. Gupta said the virus was prevalent in southeast Asia.

                              ?It is a cause of concern, more so because this being a season of migratory birds, the virus may cross transmit to other species too,? he said.
