Just watched the video. The locals seem to be gambling. The "not if but when" applies. However, it seems they hunt the fowl, take them for swabbing, which are sent away for testing, meanwhile they are consuming the potentially infected fowl?

Re: Alsaka Bird Flu
Hawkeye, can you refresh our memory, which was the last confirmed case that was attributed to eating infected poultry? And any idea how many cases are believed to have resulted from eating birds as opposed to the handling, processing, culling, and discarding dead birds?

To my knowledge there aren't any confirmed cases of BF in humans via consumption...they are attributed to preperation. In the Sumatra cluster last year..wasn't there some confusion as to how those who gathered for the party were sickened?

Re: Alaska Bird Flu Video
Recently, there was group of children from Bekasi, who got ill from eating sick chickens about the 8th of January--
They were all treated for at least several days, But none of them were ever reported positive for H5N1.
Are you referring to the Karo cluster from last year? I didn't see anything about exposure from eating poultry. Here is a link to the WHO comments.

Re: Alaska Bird Flu Video
Partly cooked chicken has been implicated in past infections. On a different note I wonder if the wild cat population numbers are down in Alaska? Does anyone know if accurate numbers of feral felines and other larger cat species are monitored in Alaska?

Re: Alaska Bird Flu Video
Feral cats aren't monitored. Winters are hard enough that many feral cats don't survive. Fish and game should have numbers on the lynx - a very elusive animal.
To be thorough, I'd take a look at all our scavengers - bears, coyotes (lots of them), ravens, eagles, etc. Screws eat meat - and we have LOTS of screws.

Re: Alaska Bird Flu Video
What type of animal is a "Screw"? A muscrat or mouse?
Aren't sled dogs fed cooked fowl, and anything else that can be had?
Would not the infection from fowl come from the preparation rather than ingesting fully cooked food? Like salmonella in poultry, which is killed by fully cooking the bird, but the cook and others get sick from badly cleaned cutting board, counter top, and tools. Then the secondary hand to hand transmission happens. Unless there is some difference between killing bacterium and viruses such that a H5N1 viruse would survive fully cooked, infected fowl.
