JAKARTA (AFP): Indonesia has the potential to become a hotspot pandemic avian influenza virus (H5N1) in the future, because only one province, whose land is "clean" of the virus. One province that has not been contaminated bird flu case is the North Maluku.
"Earlier there were two provinces of North Maluku and Gorontalo clean from bird flu cases. But last November, reported Gorontalo discovered one case," said Mohammad Azhar, Coordinator for Avian Influenza Disease Control Unit (UPPAI) Director General of Animal Husbandry and Animal Health, Ministry of Health, in his explanation to reporters in Jakarta, Thursday (29/12).
Mohammad Azhar added, the trend of the spread of bird flu virus has actually been declining since 2007. Nevertheless, the H5N1 virus has not disappeared from Indonesia. The virus was even more widespread until reaching 32 of 33 provinces in Indonesia, following the current spread of poultry. He mentioned, there are four sectors in the spread of bird flu virus. 1 on poultry breeding sector is implemented strictly.
Sector 2 is industrial chicken farms with large scale. Sector 3 is the scale chicken farms with medium-, and four sectors namely poultry raised by households in the yard behind the house. "The most vulnerable to infection even in sectors 4 and 3 because it is usually located in densely populated and most contact with humans," said Azhar.
Therefore, Azhar added, the health condition of poultry on farms in the two sectors that also need attention by the public cleanliness around farms. In order to cut off the chain of transmission.
The same thing was stated Rita Kusriastuti, Director Sourced Animal Disease Control, Ministry of Health. He said, business and environmental hygiene of poultry cages surrounding farms are now better. However, one thing that is often overlooked is hygiene and bed knife cutter (cutting board).
"I often see farms that have been self-conscious cleaning the cage with a disinfectant, but no follow-up talenannya knife and washed. In fact, both tools can be a source of infection," said Rita insisted.
Rita argues, the pilot project bird flu control and pandemic influenza preparedness is financed with the United States, Singapore and Indonesia, in Tangerang district since 2005 and has been completed. He considered the project successful.
"The indicators of this project managed to make the public know about the bird flu and how to avoid becoming infected with bird flu," he said.
In addition, Rita added, the pilot project has established community-based integrated surveillance officer with huge potential to help health workers in addressing cases of bird flu in poultry and humans. "As well assessed, the project will be a program in Kemenkes which will be funded budget," said Rita insisted. (Tri Wahyuni)
