Indonesian case of H1N1 in pigs

27 Nov 2009

The Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture has officially declared that on 23 November 2009 an outbreak of pandemic influenza A/H1N1 in pigs occurred.

An outbreak investigation has been conducted by the Disease Investigation Center, Region II, Bukittinggi. 180 nasal swabs and serum samples were collected in pigs in the breeder, weaner and farrow/finishing units.

33 samples were positive for influenza A and divided on 11 pool samples, which were sent to the Indonesian Research Center for Veterinary Sciences and to the Australian Animal Health Laboratory for advanced tests. 6 samples were positive for pandemic influenza A/H1N1.

Weekly follow-up reports will be submitted.--Communicated by:ProMED-mail<promed@promedmail.org>[Pandemic H1N1 infection has been reported in swine and turkeys with some epidemiologic evidence that it may come from humans -- see the OIE webpage FAQ summary at <http://www.oie.int/eng/press/h1n1/en_h1_n1_faq.asp>. Indonesia in particular, is a place where it is particularly useful to cross reference the H5N1 situation because of the unlikely potential for reselection when both pandemic H1N1 and H5N1 are circulating in the same area. The fact that of the 139 cases confirmed human H5N1 cases to date in Indonesia, 113 have been fatal provides a firm rationale for integrating influenza events in the geographic region. Furthermore, in September 2009, Singapore detected pandemic H1N1 in swine imported from Palau Bulan, Indonesia, which is in the same region as the current outbreak in swine.There were at least 27 outbreaks in poultry of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza in Riau province Indonesia in 2008, and no information has been submitted to OIE on the H5N1 situation in 2009 -- see <http://www.oie.int/wahis/public.php?page=weekly_report_index&admin=0>. This should make everyone watchful for the emergence here, and in other location around the globe where both H5N1 and pandemic H1N1 circulate together in people or in birds and swine, of a virus that has changed to kill both a large proportion of humans and spreads rapidly and efficiently between people. Fortunately, there is no indication that the pandemic H1N1 virus in swine reported here spreads efficiently in pigs and there no indication of high mortality in the pigs, despite 250 000 susceptible hogs in all 3 stages of production being located on the farm.In fact, the last reports of H1N1 in people posted on the WHO website indicates a very low mortality with 1097 human cases and 10 deaths as of 13 Sep 2009 (see <http://www.searo.who.int/EN/Section10/Section2562_15044.htm>). It was deemed, at the time, to indicate an decreasing trend in human H1N1 cases but there have been no more recent updates and many places are no longer counting individual cases. Of course, this reassuring picture is the result of the present viruses in the area and that picture could change if reselection were to occur. Both pandemic H1N1 and H5N1 viruses may be in the same region of Indonesia based on this report in swine. The lack of information reported on H5N1 in poultry since the end of 2008 becomes a more serious gap, given the swine report as does the failure to report individual cases in an area that is high risk because of the H5N1 circulation in people and poultry.Thus, although this report of H1N1 in swine is very useful, updates on the H5N1 situation locally in birds and people would help develop a comprehensive, geographically integrated picture. Integration of contemporaneous reports on pandemic H1N1 and H5N1 in humans and animals in geographically co-located areas are need to provide an ongoing, complete the epidemiologic risk picture. Having a geographically integrated, across species picture of pandemic H1N1 and H5N1 events in people and animals is a particularly important step forward in outbreaks like the one reported here, especially since the majority of human deaths from H5N1 worldwide have occurred in Indonesia. - Mod.PC]http://www.promedmail.org/pls/otn/f?..._ID:1000,80264

Indonesia: OIE confirmation of H1N1 in swine on Bulan Island

We notice the OIE are very slow with their press releases of new outbreaks of swine flu. Despite numerous request by the time we get A HINI news it is history rather than news. One would have considered getting the news out quickly would be a major step in preventative measures, bearing in mind the fact that the disease is transferable from animals to humans.

The veterinary authority has announced that the influenza A H1N1 virus has been found in pigs on an island off Sumatra.
The Indonesian veterinary authority sent an Immediate Notification dated 26 November to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).

The report describes the discovery at the end of August 2009 of the H1N1 flu virus in 250,000 pigs on Bulan Island in Riau Islands province.

According to the report, outbreak investigation has been conducted by Disease Investigation Center, Region II, Bukittinggi. In total, 180 nasal swabs and serum samples were collected in pigs in the breeder, weaner and farrow/finishing units. Of these, 33 samples were positive for influenza A and divided on 11 pool samples, which were sent to the Indonesian Research Center for Veterinary Sciences and to the Australian Animal Health Laboratory for advanced tests. Six samples were positive for pandemic influenza A/H1N1.
