Russia confirms H5N1 bird flu strain at poultry farm
04 Sep 2007 08:13:50 GMT
Source: Reuters


(Adds details)

MOSCOW, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Russia on Tuesday reported its third outbreak this year of the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu after 410 birds died on a poultry farm in the country's south.
Another 414 birds were culled and strict quarantine measures were in place at the farm in Krasnodar region, Russia's animal and plant health watchdog, Rosselkhoznadzor, said in a statement.
"It's serious enough to bring in strict measures, including quarantine, to make sure it doesn't spread," Rosselkhoznadzor spokesman Alexei Alexeyenko said.
"An investigation is being carried out to determine the source of the infection," he said.
Tests carried out in regional laboratories confirmed the highly pathogenic H5N1 strain was responsible for the deaths of birds at the Lebyazhye-Chepiginskoye farm, in the same region where the virus was detected in dead domestic birds in January.
Russia's second outbreak of 2007 occurred in February, when several cases in towns around Moscow were traced to the capital's best-known pet market.
Bird flu has killed 193 people worldwide out of 320 known human cases since it re-emerged in Hong Kong in 2003. Most of the deaths have occurred in Asia and no human cases have ever been reported in Russia.
The H5N1 strain of the virus is mainly transmitted between birds. Most human cases can be traced to direct or indirect contact with infected birds.
Experts fear, however, that the virus could change into a form easily transmitted from person to person.

Russia finds H5N1 bird flu virus at chicken farm

MOSCOW (Thomson Financial) - A strain of the H5N1 bird flu virus that is dangerous for humans has surfaced at a chicken farm in southern Russia, the veterinary service said.
'The H5N1 bird flu virus type A has been registered' at the farm in the village of Razdolnoye in Krasnodar region, it said in a statement.
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>loadAd('mpu');</SCRIPT>

A total of 400 chickens have died at the farm and 414 have been put down, the service said, adding that a quarantine had been imposed.
A spokesman for the veterinary service told Agence France-Presse it was 'unlikely' that the chicken meat had reached local markets as preventive measures were taken 'very quickly' after the virus was suspected.
The highly pathogenic strain of the H5N1 virus detected at Razdolnoye is potentially dangerous for humans. Experts have warned that the virus could mutate into a strain that can be transmitted between humans.

KRASNODAR, September 4 (RIA Novosti) - About 500 chickens in the south Russia's Krasnodar Territory have died of bird flu, a local official said Tuesday. The outbreak was detected at a poultry farm in the town of Razdolny Sunday.
A spokesman for the territorial veterinary service said a regional laboratory has identified the lethal H5N1 virus in the dead birds, and that measures are being taken to contain the spread.
"The decision has been made to destroy 22,000 birds at a farm where chickens died over the weekend," he said.
He did not say how many birds were on the farm in total. Tests are ongoing, and may take up to seven days to produce conclusive results.
A local prosecutor said criminal charges might be pressed against the farm's managers.
The Russian Ministry for Emergency Situations warned last month of a danger of bird flu outbreaks in the Chelyabinsk Region, in the south Urals.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), bird flu has killed 192 people around the world since late 2003.
Indonesia has been the worst hit by human bird flu cases, and has the highest mortality rate from infections with the deadly H5N1 viral strain, at about 80%. The virus has spread rapidly in the country, which has the world's fourth-largest population.
The second hardest-hit country is Vietnam, where 95 human bird flu cases have been registered, with 42 deaths.

I wonder what that's about. Failure to report?

RAZDOLNY , Russia, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Russian authorities plan to destroy at least 22,000 chickens at a poultry farm where 500 birds died of bird flu, it was reported.

Prosecutors may seek criminal charges against the operators of the farm in Razdolny, in southern Russia's Krasnodar Territory, RIA Novosti reported Tuesday.

The outbreak of lethal H5N1 virus was reported to authorities Sunday after birds had already died, RIA Novosti reported.

An outbreak of bird flu in poultry was reported last month in the Chelyabinsk Region, in Russia's southern Urals.

Bird flu has killed 192 people around the world since 2003, primarily in Indonesia and Vietnam, said the World Health Organization.

Alta Vista translation of full article:

The bird influenza rages at the local poultry processing facility The inhabitants of three settlements Of the bryukhovetskeyeo region proved to be in the quarantine zone. At the poultry processing facility "swan -Cepiginska4 located here" raged bird influenza. According to the local, feathered began to perish already 29 August - pieces on ten during the day. But all hoped that this is nevertheless ill-starred virus H5@61.
- we immediately sent tests into Krasnodar, and then into Moscow, they described to us in veterinary control Of the bryukhovetskeyeo region. - here from the capital arrived the answer: bird actually perishes because of virus H5@61. entire livestock of the 17th housing of poultry processing facility - this of 22 thousand heads - it will be destroyed.
To all local veterinary surgeons it seemed by strange that they did not reveal in sick bird it was indicative influenza. Hens did not roll eye, as this occurred earlier, but, on the contrary, they were very mobile and even they began more actively to rush! Maybe, influenza does mutate?
- at poultry processing facility itself, in the settlements free and easy and swan, and is also in the cossack village Of chepiginskoy introduced quarantine on 21 days, they reported to us in the division GO and CHS by The bryukhovetskeyeu region. - together with the physicians we are now investigated people, we conduct the vaccination of bird in the particular courts. In these populated areas spacing regime acts.
Local residents in panic!
- as to us further to live? - says Ludmila shokina from the free and easy. - indeed the large part of the young people does work precisely at this factory, and which will be with the yard zhivotinoy? We by this live! Now not to sell it, yes even to itself there is dangerously...
However, local specialists calm down people: yard bird can be will be released under the knife two weeks after vaccination. But fodder for it they thus far advise to weld by boiling water and, most importantly, not to feed its feathered with damp fish. By the way, according to one version, bird influenza fell on factory precisely from the nearest fluxes - there now dwells much "passing by" wild bird.
As local authorities promise, the inhabitants of these populated areas will not suffer from the draconic quarantine measures. They will extract the temporary of pass to postmen, and they can in time reach pension and letters. Machines with the foodstuffs will also pass to the quarantine territory without difficulty.
By the way, the poultry processing facility nearest to Krasnodar - it is located in the settlement Loris - works in the usual regime.
- certainly, we undertook the necessary measures, says Oleg GREBENSHCHIKOV, the head physician of Krasnodar poultry processing facility. - is processed entire transport, which enters in the territory of enterprise, and also trolleys, the container, in which they transport bird. I think that occasions for the uneasiness the buyers do not have.
YOU BE Up to DATE!
What bird to buy
- to buy bird better in the special stores. Hen semifinished products pass special treatment. On the market focus attention on the exterior view of chicken meat. The sick bird has the meat:
- watery, with the pressure remains the pit, which does not disappear;
- on the skin there can be bruises with the Bordeau red and cyanotic ebb;
- skin itself sticky by feel, can be with the yellowish- greenish nuance.
As "it is safe" to prepare the hen
Cooked it must be not less than 30 minutes. In no case it is not possible to eat meat, if in it red veins remained. After you will dress small carcass, with the soap compulsorily wash hands! And forego the eggs soft-boiled.
