DHAKA, Dec. 23 (Xinhua) -- Fresh outbreak of bird flu has been detected in Bangladesh as winter season comes and the authorities have so far culled nearly 10,000 chickens in five districts, a senior government official said.

Muhammad Salehuddin Khan, Director of Bangladesh's Fisheries and Live Stock Department, told Xinhua on Tuesday, "We have detected avian influenza, known as H5N1, in four commercial farms and a household in five districts so far this month."
"Some 9,950 birds of the farms and the household and nearby areas of the country's western Natore, central Gazipur, eastern Narsingdi, and northern Gaibandha and Kurigram districts were culled this month," he said.
"We have taken special steps to stem outbreak of the disease asking farmers to adopt more preventive measures," he said.
Muhammad said his department is yet to confirm the sources of fresh attacks of the disease, "but it may be due to germs of bird flu remained as we faced huge outbreak last winter."
However, he said there is no report of human infection of the disease in Bangladesh till to date.
The avian influenza virus was first detected in a poultry farm near capital city Dhaka in March 2007.
The situation deteriorated later as the virus spread fast across the country with the H5N1 virus outbreaks reported in 47 out of the country's total 64 districts between December 2007 and February 2008. About 50 percent of the country's 150,000 poultry farms were closed and more than 1.5 million chickens, ducks and pigeons were culled as of the end of March this year. Bangladesh's Health Ministry in May confirmed the country's first human case of bird flu as tests on a 16-month-old girl proved H5N1 positive. The girl recovered after treatment.

Bangladesh reports bird flu outbreak

20 minutes ago

DHAKA (AFP) ? Bangladeshi authorities said Tuesday a new outbreak of bird flu had been detected at a village in the north of the country as they struggled to contain the disease.

Livestock department spokesman Salahuddin Khan said at least 100 birds were slaughtered on a farm in the northern Kurigram district late Monday after the deadly H5N1 strain of avian influenza was discovered.

"This is the fifth district to have been hit by bird flu since it re-emerged in October after a break of four months," Khan said, adding the government had stepped up surveillance.

Bangladesh was hit by bird flu in February 2007, and the virus made another comeback in January. Earlier this year, 50 of the country's 64 districts were affected, and more than a million birds were slaughtered.

Industry officials said that that outbreak led to closure of 40 percent of the nation's poultry farms and left half a million workers jobless.

Bangladesh's poultry industry is one of the world's largest, producing 220 million chickens and 37 million ducks annually.

The country reported its first confirmed human case of bird flu in May, but the government said the 16-month-old baby who contracted the virus had recovered.

Bangladeshi authorities say they have slaughtered nearly 10,000 birds in five districts, as the country faces a fresh outbreak of the deadly avian flu virus.

An official in the Department of Fisheries and Livestock says poultry in the northern district of Kurigam have tested positive for the deadly H5N1 strain. The district is the fifth to report the virus since bird flu re-emerged in Bangladesh in recent months.

Earlier this year, Bangladesh culled more than one million birds after authorities discovered bird flu in nearly 50 of the country's 64 districts.

Bangladeshi officials say they are stepping up monitoring and preventative measures.

Authorities have also been culling poultry in response to bird flu outbreaks in two Indian states bordering Bangladesh - West Bengal and Assam.

The World Health Organization says bird flu has killed at least 246 people worldwide since it resurfaced in Asia five years ago. Bangladesh reported its first human case of the virus in May. The infected child recovered.
Some information for this report was provided by AFP and Reuters.

Confirmed H5N1 Spread to Kurigram Bangladesh
Recombinomics Commentary 19:50
December 22, 2008

Livestocks officials on Monday night started culling birds in 500 square metres area of a house of Balatari village of Kurigram municipality after they detected the bird flu virus .

District livestocks official Nazrul Islam told bdnews24.com they would kill hens, ducks and pigeons and the eggs in every house in .

The above comments describe a confirmed H5N1 outbreak in Kurigram, Bangladesh. Kurigram is in the northeast tip of Bangladesh, so it is only 10-15 miles from the borders of Cooch Behar, Assam, and Meghalaya (see zoomed map). This outbreak comes days after the outbreak in Natore, and suggests H5N1 is widespread in Bangladesh, Assam, West Bengal, and neighboring districts.

Bangladesh was able to confirm the H5N1 on the same day as the collection, in marked contrast to India, which collects samples or carcasses and sends them to Bhopal for a series of tests. The delay in testing in India has cast serious doubts about negative test results and announcements of control and lack of reports of excessive poultry deaths.

Some media reports are even claiming that the confirmed cases in Assam are not really H5N1, even though the confirming letters are posted on the government website.

The large number of confirmed outbreaks in Bangladesh, Assam, and West Bengal (see updated map) suggest more confirmations will be reported in the near term.

Confirmed H5N1 Spread Accelerates In Bangladesh
Recombinomics Commentary 13:16
December 23, 2008

"Some 9,950 birds of the farms and the household and nearby areas of the country's western Natore, central Gazipur, eastern Narsingdi, and northern Gaibandha and Kurigram districts were culled this month," he said.

The above comments from the Bangladesh MOFL identify yet another recent outbreak, in Gaibandha (see zoomed map). This outbreak has yet to appear on the daily update, which reported Kurigram yesterday and Natore over the weekend. Thus, the three outbreaks in the past few days clearly signal an increase in H5N1 activity in northern Bangladesh, flanked on the west by West Bengal and on the east by Assam and Meghalaya.

The latest outbreak is only about 20 miles from the Meghalaya border and 30 miles from South Dinajpur in West Bengal. The number of recent outbreaks, and proximity to West Bengal and Assam, suggests both Indian provinces have more activity than is being reported.

Malda in West Bengal confirmed H5N1 in Englishbazar and is culling over 30,000 birds. The death of hundreds of crows suggests H5N1 will spread to adjacent blocks and Bangladesh and excessive poultry deaths have been reported in adjacent blocks (Ratua I, Gajole, and Manikchak), yet the dead birds are not being tested or culled. Instead blood is being collected for routine surveillance, which is almost always negative because the birds die before H5N1 antibodies reach detectable levels. The outbreak in Englishbazar was detected by a rapid test, which measures RNA levels in swabs or tissue samples. Similarly, all initial positives in Assam were tissue based.

Instead of testing, the bird deaths are attributed by Newcastle Disease, which produces symptoms similar to bird flu and is commonly diagnosed to hide or ignore H5N1 outbreaks. Similarly, media reports indicate birds are being buried and not tested for H5N1 based on visual diagnosis of Newcastle Disease. Thus, the H5N1 outbreaks are being cover up, literally and figuratively.

In contrast, Bangladesh is confirming H5N1 quickly. In Kurigram, H5N1 was confirmed in the morning on two hens, and culling began by evening. However, in spite of this rapid response, H5N1 spread is accelerating.

Thus, like last season, the spread of H5N1 is accelerating as winter approaches, and India is trying to control the spread by minimal and inappropriate testing or misdiagnosis.

More outbreaks (see updated map) are expected.

H5N1 Culling Accelerates In Bangladesh
Recombinomics Commentary 13:36

Bangladesh starts bird cull

The above headline on H5N1 in Bangladesh is somewhat misleading. In the past month there have been multiple outbreaks in Bangladesh, which signals a significant H5N1 expansion in the upcoming weeks and raises questions about the recent lack of confirmations in Assam and West Bengal in neighboring India (see updated map).

The spread of H5N1 in Bangladesh has been well documented in updates from the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock, as well as situation updates from WHO, and OIE reports.

After the outbreak in Naogaon in October, which was detailed in an OIE report, the South-East Asia Regional Office of WHO issued a December 8 situation update describing the Naogaon outbreak as well as unnatural poultry deaths in Rangpur, which was influenza A confirmed but not yet sero-typed. However, MOFL issued a December 3 update which indicated culling had taken place at two farms in Rangpur, indirectly confirming H5N1(255 birds culled and confirmed in OIE report).

That was followed by December 13 update with three outbreaks north of Dhaka (3540 birds culled), followed by a December 16 outbreak that was also north of Dhaka (4440 birds culled). WHO SEARO then issued a December 20 update describing these outbreaks (Rangpur, Narsingdi, Gazipur, Natore).

MOFL then issued a December 20 update with the Natore culling (665 birds), which was followed by a December 23 update which included culling (945 birds) in Gaibandha and Kurigram.

The three most recent outbreaks are near the confirmed outbreaks in Malda in West Bengal, as well as western Assam outbreaks. However, as the reporting in Bengladesh accelerates, India is claiming that the poultry deaths in adjacent areas are due to Newcastle Disease instead of H5N1. Over 30,000 birds were culled in Malda (Englishbazar and Old Malda blocks) and hundreds of crows died, but excessive poultry deaths 5-10 miles away in other Malda blocks (Ratua I, Gajole, Manikchak) were said to be due to Newcastle Disease. Sera were collected for routine testing, but sera are rarely positive for high path H5N1 because birds die before antibody levels rise to the detectable level. Similar results were reported in adjacent districts in West Bengal, raising serious questions about testing and reporting H5N1 in India.

Thus, confirmed H5N1 in Bangladesh is on the rise, as expected as the temperature drops and more birds migrate south, yet India is claiming that the bird deaths in Assam and West Bengal are not due to H5N1. Almost exactly one year ago birds began dying in Birbhum, but H5N1 was not confirmed until mid-January, when over 100 villages in Birbhum were H5N1 infected (see 2008 map) and H5N1 in West Bengal and Bangladesh rose to record levels.

The latest news from India suggests a significant increase in H5N1 outbreaks in the near term.

Re: Bangladesh - Fresh bird flu scare grips poultry sector

Translation from Arabic

Officials said Wednesday that the authorities in Bangladesh has strengthened surveillance after the outbreak of a strain found (H 1 to 5) of the avian influenza virus again.

He said Salah al-Din Khan, Director of the Department of Livestock of the government (so far executed ten thousands of birds in a number of affected farms and surrounding areas in five provinces).

The strain (H5 that 1) of the avian influenza virus has emerged the first time, near the capital Dhaka in March 2007 and extended to 47 districts out of 64 districts in Bangladesh, forcing authorities to slaughter of more than 1.65 million birds.
Officials said the poultry industry that about 40 percent of more than 150 thousand farms in the country were closed, making half a million people unemployed.

The UN World Health Organization last May, the first human case of bird flu in Bangladesh, while the baby was not up to the age of 16 months in January, the disease in January, however, recovered.
The organization says that since the re-emergence of the virus in Asia in late 2003 because of 247 people died of avian flu in 12 countries.

Re: Bangladesh - Fresh bird flu scare grips poultry sector

H5N1 is cmmonly called "birds and beasts" in translations of Chinese. I have not seen any reports on H5N1 in swine in Bangladesh (or unusual swine deaths).

I would also be surpised if these reports on Balgaldesh in other languages are anything more than translations/compilations of English wire service reports.

Re: Bangladesh - Fresh bird flu scare grips poultry sector

I'm bettin if any pigs are around birds falling out the sky, a few will get sick. That is the only report of pigs I have seen. China will report on anything dying, as long as it is is not in their own country. :D

Anti-smuggling drive stepped
up amid bird flu scare
Obaidul Ghani
The government has strengthened the anti-smuggling drive in the border areas adjoining neighbouring India fearing fresh bird flu outbreak in the country, a top official of the fisheries and livestock ministry said on Thursday.
The stepped-up drive is aimed at stopping entry of any poultry birds from India as the avian flu has already broken out in its two states of Assam and West Bengal, said Syed Ataur Rahman, secretary of the ministry.
?The government has directed the Bangladesh Rifles to step up anti-smuggling drive in the border areas and also asked the deputy commissioners of 64 districts to reinforce the activities of the respective anti-smuggling committees?, he said.
Meanwhile, the department of livestock services has culled some 945 poultry birds including 128 backyard poultry on December 23 as fresh bird flu virus has been detected in backyard poultry at sadar upazila in Kurigram and a commercial poultry farm in Gaibandha.
The government has also decided to step up surveillance at all the poultry farms across the country to properly monitor infection of deadly viral disease (H5N1) in poultry birds.
The ministry concerned has formed a 16-member monitoring committee headed by fisheries and livestock secretary incorporating the health and family welfare ministry, city corporation, livestock services department and different private sector organisations in it.
The committee will sit in a regular meeting every week and discuss the bird flu situation in the country, the official said.
Besides, a two-member committee will be formed at every union parishad to be headed by its chairman as convenor and member as the member secretary, said the ministry official.
The committee will inform the surveillance team of information on any kind of diseases contaminating the poultry farm in their respective areas.
The government also has a plan to provide training to 2,000 poultry traders at some 300 kitchen markets in the Dhaka city to create awareness among them of handling of chickens.
The convenor of the Bangladesh Poultry Co-ordination Committee, a platform of five poultry-related organisations, Moshiur Rahman, told New Age that although bird flu situation in the country is not so grave as that of India, the government should immediately introduce an action plan to fight bird flu.
He also stressed the action plan must be designed by a co-ordination committee involving all the quarters including the donor agencies.
The prices of poultry and poultry products in the country have already declined due to bird flu scare.
