Re: Russia: bird flu H5 suspected in 1,000 dead wild birds in Krasnodar
In the Kuban vaccinations for both people and birds
While no cases of bird flu in the region is not registered
At the end of last week in Anapa and Temryuk district residents discovered hundreds of dead carcasses of wild birds - coots . Birds died just one day. Analyses showed all his fault influenza strain H5N1. He's a notorious bird flu, which claimed 64 lives during the epidemic of 2005 in Southeast Asia. This means that the danger is not only to poultry, but all residents of the Kuban. As described in the Regional Ministry of Health, from human to human infection is not transmitted, but you can get infected from sick birds, and even while cutting its carcass. Therefore, on Friday to address the governor of the region Alexander Tkachev in Anapa and Temryuk imposed quarantine and banned hunting .

- The experience we have - reminded Tkachev. - Five years ago, the edge in a short time managed to fully cope with the spread of the virus. Then there was a flash on a large poultry farm in Bryukhovetskiy area. Poultry had to completely destroy, introduced strict controls on the roads as well as in enterprises. As a result, to prevent new outbreaks. No human bird flu while ill.
In the same way there are today. While some experts bypass hunting grounds and ponds in search of dead birds, others inspect hens and geese, and questioned their owners, whether they have symptoms. At the same time, the edge of the poultry should go to the private mode, and poultry banned "to go out." Experts believe that the virus got into the Kuban with migratory birds, which means that poultry should be possible to isolate.
Veterinarians offer poultry owners to vaccinate. Procedure is free no matter how many birds you "will lead to the reception." Where the vaccination - please call "hot" line of the 8 (861) 268-33-09, 268-34-05.
The rest of the Kuban management specialists veterinarians recommend to stick to simple rules: no contact with either the home or with wild birds and not to buy meat and eggs with it.

All those wishing to make the vaccine for free. You just have to go to a clinic in the community.

Re: Russia: bird flu H5 suspected in 1,000 dead wild birds in Krasnodar
My guess is a contaminated common water source would account for the high cfr. Most of the ponds and lakes must be close to being iced over at this time of year. The few liquid water sources that are left would concentrate both sick and healthy birds. Defecating, coughing and dead birds would all be sources of new infections at the few remaing water holes.
Please do not ask me for medical advice, I am not a medical doctor.

Health Service doubts that birds near Anapa died of bird flu
Office issued a statement in which he asserts that there is no evidence to suggest that the mass death of wild waterfowl in two districts of the Krasnodar region caused by avian influenza H5N1.
It. in particular, says that as a result of research in the laboratory of the Moscow and the National Reference Laboratory for avian influenza (Vladimir), a preliminary diagnosis of avian influenza subtype 5 th to be confirmed. Both laboratories with all samples of pathological material delivered to a negative result.Virological tests have not been completed, so that this negative result is not conclusive.
Based on these data, it is possible that in this case were obtained erroneous results of diagnostic tests for avian influenza, by reason of the defective series of diagnostic test systems - the press-service of Rosselkhoznadzor. - Thus, at the moment there is no reason to assert that the mass death of wild waterfowl in two districts of the Krasnodar region caused by avian influenza H5N1, or say that this is not a virus has caused the death of the birds.
In addition, experts say that the dynamics of mortality of birds in general, not specific to the disease.
Bulgarian Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, has received an invitation from Russian President, Vladimir Putin, to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the South Stream gas pipeline. The event is scheduled for December 7 in the Russian town of Anapa, on the Black Sea west coast, where the line will begin, the Bulgarian Standard daily writes Monday.

Birds died just one day. A little later, near Anapa was recorded the death of wild ducks, swans, cormorants, pelicans, seagulls.
According to Rospotrebnadzor, collected and disposed of in 2800 infected birds.
Analyses have shown that to blame the flu virus H5N1, infamous as the "bird flu" that killed 64 people during the epidemic of 2005 in Southeast Asia.
This means that the danger is not only to poultry, but also residents of the Krasnodar Territory.
Stavropol region is known to be bounded by Kuban. So maybe we should be afraid of bird flu? According to forecasts of the Emergencies Ministry, which is a monthly department, migratory birds may well be to place a dangerous virus in the Stavropol region.
From the edge of the sign of the disease - in 2006 already was an outbreak of bird flu in Izobilnenskoe and Shpakovsky areas and in Kislovodsk. In the same year the disease recorded in Kabardino-Balkaria and Chechnya.
Across the North Caucasus are migration routes for migratory birds, which are carried on the wings of a dangerous virus.
Although human-to-human infection has passed, you can get infected from sick birds, and even during the cutting of the carcass.
A vaccine can help protect yourself.
No special vaccination against bird flu there, - said Irina Kovalchuk, the deputy head of the regional Rospotrebnadzor. - You can use the standard vaccine. Now in the Stavropol region as time passes vaccination, which will last until the end of December. In the vaccine has three strains of influenza, and it should be noted that, among others, these vaccinations are and poultry workers.
Vaccinations help save and poultry. Veterinarians recommend owners of chickens and geese not wait to do feathered livestock injections. Each year in the Stavropol vaccination H5N1 influenza virus are about 4 million inhabitants of poultry houses. Here we are talking about personal Stavropol farms, poultry farms also work in private.
IMPORTANT!
How to protect yourself from the influenza virus H5N1.

Poultry meat or eggs need to be refrigerated separately from other products.
After contact with a bird you had a an acute respiratory disease, immediately seek medical attention.
