    Cambodia: OIE confirmed - Bird Flu Returns in Poultry - H5N1 - December 9, 2017

    December 9, 2017
    PHNOM PENH: Cambodia has discovered a new outbreak of highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu in the eastern province of Kompong Cham, according to the government. In a report filed by the Agriculture Ministry to Prime Minister Hun Sen, a copy of which was seen on Saturday, it said 200 chickens were found dead in Koh Svay village.

    The report dated Friday said the chickens were found on Nov 28, and based on samples tested on Wednesday, it was confirmed that they had succumbed to the H5N1 bird flu virus, which can be fatal to humans. The report said authorities had taken precautions in the area. Cambodia reported its last bird flu outbreak in January this year with the deaths of some 300 chickens and ducks in the eastern province of Svay Rieng.

    The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has reported that in early December the bird flu (H5N1 virus) appeared in Kampong Cham province. The ministry informed Prime Minister Hun Sen on Friday, of the outbreak. Prey Chor district?s Trapaeng Preah commune was hardest hit, with some 200 chickens perishing.
    After the alert from local authorities, the ministry immediately dispatched experts to inspect the site in Trapaeng Preah, and they took away two dead chickens to be sent to a laboratory in Phnom Penh.

      Excerpt: Experts took two dead birds for testing after receiving reports of the die-off in Prey Chhor district?s Trapaing Preah commune in late November, according to a letter from the Ministry of Agriculture sent to Prime Minister Hun Sen on Friday. Lab testing confirmed the chickens had H5N1, the most common form of bird flu.
      Bird flu outbreaks have had a human cost in the past ? 14 Cambodians died during one in 2013 ? but no human cases have been detected in Koh Svay village so far, according to Ministry of Health spokesman Ly Sovann. In a Facebook post, Sovann warned people to avoid eating or selling poultry that dies under mysterious circumstances and to maintain hygiene practices.
      World Health Organization Cambodia spokeswoman Vicky Houssiere said the body is assisting the ministry with the outbreak.
      Kim Sour Phirun, head of Kampong Cham?s Health Department, said authorities are checking nearby health centres for patients with symptoms of H5N1.

          Excerpt:
          Khun Sambu, a 55-year-old chicken farmer in Koh Svay village, said many chickens died on his farm.
          He said at first only ten chickens died. He took samples for examination at the provincial animal health department, but was told there was no infectious disease. However, the chicken death toll continued to rise.
          ?First I thought the chickens ate some tainted food, and then I thought it was the cold weather. That is also what my neighbour thought,? Mr Sambu said.
          ?The infection could propagate to my neighbour?s. We are losing a lot of money over this. Health experts have sprayed medicine to protect the remaining chickens and burned the others, and they will continue to monitor the situation.?

              Officials checking if bird flu killed chickens

              Mom Kunthear / Khmer Times

              About 30 chickens became sick and died in Kampong Cham?s Chamkar Leu district and authorities do not yet know the reason because the owners of the chickens only reported the incident after they buried their dead birds.

              Chamkar Ler district?s Chey Yo commune police chief Sar Chamreoun told Khmer Times on Thursday that about 30 chickens in Trapaing Russey village fell sick and died from Monday to Wednesday and were buried before their deaths were reported to local authorities.
