Within minutes of the conclusion of the Capoua talk, the Czech Republic reported H5N1 in commercial poultry, which was quickly followed by H5N1 in wild birds in multiple locations in Germany, the Czech Republic, and France. Prior to summer of 2007 outbreak, the Uvs Lake starin had never been reported Europe (it had been reported at Uvs Lake in Mongolia, across the boirder in Russia in the summer of 2006, followed by South Korea and Japan at the end of 2006, and Kuwait in early 2007). The Uvs Lake subsequently became dominant in Europe in late 2007 and early 2008.
West Africa did not report H5N1 in late 2007, early 2008 and then in the summer the were multiple reports in northern Nigeria, involving the Uvs Lake strain, which has never been reported in Africa. Now H5 is in Benin and it will likely be the Uvs Lake strain.
The outbreak in the summer in west Africa involved the Uvs Lake clade 2.2.3 strain of H5N1, which was in circulation in Europe in late 2006 and early 2007, but was not detected until the summer. Illaria Capua had just delivered her talk at the Options VI meeting (June, 2007) stating that Europe was H5N1 free becauise of the negative data generated by various bird conservation groups focused on tests in live birds and primarily checks of fecal samples.
Within minutes of the conclusion of the Capoua talk, the Czech Republic reported H5N1 in commercial poultry, which was quickly followed by H5N1 in wild birds in multiple locations in Germany, the Czech Republic, and France. Prior to summer of 2007 outbreak, the Uvs Lake starin had never been reported Europe (it had been reported at Uvs Lake in Mongolia, across the boirder in Russia in the summer of 2006, followed by South Korea and Japan at the end of 2006, and Kuwait in early 2007).

The pandemic affected 123 poultry farms across nine states in the country, while the amount paid to the farmers in Ogun State represented 67.7 per cent of the compensation.
The compensation, it was gathered, was facilitated by the state government, in conjunction with the Federal Government and World Bank.
The state Commissioner for Agriculture, Dr. Kunle Salako, who accompanied by officials of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, presented the cheque to the beneficiaries.
Salako expressed the government's sympathy to the farmers over the distortion in their operations as a result of the incident.
He said the animal health component of the World Bank was the first agency to respond to the state's distress call over the pandemic.
"The Federal Government followed suit, while the state government did a lot in the provision of funds for the monitoring and the depopulation of the affected farms.
"We have also conducted enlightenment campaigns for the farmers and the birds' sellers," Salako said.
Also speaking, Dr Adedamola Soremekun, State Director of Veterinary Services, said it was sad for the farm owners to have gone through such "harrowing experience".
According to him, the poultry farmers were skeptical when they were told of the control measure to depopulate their farms before they could get any compensation.
"It was difficult for most farmers to agree with the measure, because, most of you believed that the money may never be paid.
"The depopulation is, however, necessary to control the avian influenza. We can all testify that the measure has been effective as the pandemic had been stopped," he said.
One of the farmers, Dr Taiwo Makinde, who expressed appreciation to the government and the World Bank for the financial support.
Makinde said the fear of poor compensation prompted some farmers to attempt to hide their birds from being destroyed.

Gombe wipes out bird flu
WILLIAMS ATTAH, Gombe
Gombe state government has wiped out bird flu in the state.
The information desk officer of the state bird flu, committee, Mr. Kassim Toro made the claim in an interview with the Daily Champion in Gombe.
He said that it was the prompt response of the state government which purchased drugs used in fumigating the entire area that prevented a possible outbreak of bird flu in the state.
According to him, reports reaching him had earlier showed that over three months ago, a man from BCGA area of Gombe bought some ducks from the popular Dadin Kowa Market and that the ducks were traced to the Bayo market, Bornu state.
He said as soon as the ducks landed in Gombe, hundreds of other chickens, guinea fowls and other flying birds caught up with the flu and within six hours, thousands were reported dead.
He said it took the intervention of the state government which ordered the fumigation of the Dadin Kowa Market and the entire farm and BCGA that the epidemic was put under control.
He added that the exercise also included Dadin Kowa Dam, one of the wetland areas of the country reported to be a stopping point for different kinds of birds especially from Europe, which fly to the area yearly.
"Experts have discovered that the particular specie of the bird flu found in Gombe was taken to National Vet nary Research Institute (NVRI) Vom, Plateau state where it was discovered that the virus was more deadly than the common HN51 bird flu," Toro said.

Deadlier Bird Flu Detected
December 5th, 2008
Unidentified dangerous specie of avian influenza otherwise called bird flu, much deadlier than the common HN51, was recently discovered in Gombe State but has been promptly wiped out.
Mr. Kassim Toro, the Desk Officer in charge of Information in the Gombe State Bird Flu Committee, stated that the name of the new specie of the deadly virus is yet to be ascertained.
While commenting on the development, the Desk Officer said only a prompt response by spraying the area and the entire eastern border of the state averted a possible outbreak of the yet to be identified new virus.
A BCGA area resident of Gombe metropolis had about three months ago, brought in some infected ducks from Dadin Kowa Market and those birds were eventually traced to Bayo market in neighbouring Borno State.
It was learnt that the virus, upon the arrival of the ducks in Gombe, spread like wild fire to other birds, killing thousands of chickens, guinea fowls and even flying birds within six hours including the ducks.
The news, upon reaching the government, saw a team swiftly deployed to spray the BCGA area and the entire eastern boundary of the state, including one of the country’s most famous wetlands-(a place where migratory birds stop over to drink water) in Dadinkowa.
Efforts to ascertain prevalence of the disease through testing of birds trapped at the wetlands and random tests on domestic and wild birds in the boarder settlements including BCGA area showed no trace of any form of bird flu.
Meanwhile, experts according to Kassim, took samples of the particular specie of the bird flu virus found in Gombe to the National Veterinary Research Institute (NVRI) Vom, Plateau State where it was discovered to be more deadly than the common HN51 bird flu but are yet to identify it.
