China: Jiangsu, new avian influenza h5n1 poultry epizootics

Re: China: Jiangsu, new avian influenza h5n1 poultry epizootics

Sic.

Optimistic evaluation of this latest China H5N1 poultry epizootic seems to me a bit premature at this point.
 
Re: China: Jiangsu, new avian influenza h5n1 poultry epizootics

Quelling panic is always the first order of business of any governmental agency. I am interested in the audience the WHO is targeting here. Is there panic somewhere? If so, it has to be inside China as the rest of the world appears, as ever, oblivious to the threat. Or, is this just a 'reach into the bag of standard operating procedure' kind of announcement. Or, do we actually see some people behaving unwisely?

Commentary

Is Novel H5N1 Migrating Through China Clade 0 or 7?
Recombinomics Commentary 03:12
December 17, 2008

For the problems of the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Agriculture and Forestry animal husbandry and veterinary department of the Ministry of Agriculture immediately sent to sample the professional sector detection testing, the results of a surprise: The emergence of the virus in the past and the south of different avian influenza virus.

When a reporter asked led to the emergence of this new virus causes, Chunxi said that the movement of migratory birds suspected to be caused by the source of the virus - the year before in such a situation occurred in Shanxi Province.

The above translation offers a few additional clues on the novel H5N1 in Jiangsu province. This translation and other reports suggest the sequence is from the past and the above mentions an outbreak in Shanxi.

The Shanxi reference likely refers to a 2005 outbreak, which involved a novel H5N1 that was vaccine resistant. OIE reports indicated three different vaccines were used to try to control the massive spread. Media reports of an outbreak in Vietnam suggest it was clade 7, which would have been related to the H5N1 isolated from the 2005 outbreak in Shanxi. The HA sequence also had many changes near the receptor binding domain.

Alternatively, the reference to the past may be linked to the clade 0 H5N1 isolate at Qinghai Lake in June of this year. The isolate was closely related to 2003 Hubei/Shandong sequences, which were related to 1997 sequences from Hubei, which were close to the clade 0 Guangdong goose, the first H5N1 isolated in China in 1996.

Thus, the above translation suggests the H5N1 in Jiangsu is either clade 0 or clade 7. Both clades have cause human infections in the past. Clade 0 caused the 1997 outbreak in Hong Kong and clade 7 killed the first confirmed H5N1 fatality in China (Beijing 2003).

Thus, both possibilities represent the re-emergence of older H5N1 isolates that would be poorly unrecognized by current vaccines.

The OIE report may define the clade, but both are cause for concern. The possibility that the same clade is in India and Bangladesh also remains open.

Took place after the dead chickens have been a more than 10,000,000 chickens flow of foreign markets, many of them, "there is a problem."

Local people who raise chickens, "the live chickens 3-5 yuan money to a dead of a money a classification processed also sell your point, it was dedicated to the acquisition, they are usually hidden in the city Freezer. "

Avian influenza virus has not changed Hong Kong and China have no chicken Winter Solstice
2008-12-18 2008-12-18

【大公網訊】香港大學完成爆發禽流感農場病毒的基因排序,並無大轉變。 【The Hong Kong University to complete the outbreak of the avian influenza virus gene sequencing farms, there is no big change. 不過,由于上周元朗雞場爆發禽流感,隨即令全城禁售活雞二十一天,令市民在即將來臨的傳統節日──冬至,沒有活雞可吃。 However, Yuen Long chicken farm last week due to the outbreak of bird flu, after the city banned live chicken to 21 days so that the public in the coming winter ─ ─ traditional festivals, did not live to eat.

香港漁護署近日在農場取走樣本,發現這次感染的禽流感病毒,基因型有輕微轉變,但不算變種。 Hong Kong Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department has recently taken samples on the farm and found that the infection of the avian influenza virus, a slight change in genotype, but not a variant. 病毒也與香港街市最近爆發的禽流感,以及野鳥發現的病毒相近。 Virus and the Hong Kong market was also the recent outbreak of bird flu, as well as a similar virus found in wild birds. 不過,與內地最近發現的品種不同,相信病毒是來自本土或者附近區域,例如由野鳥帶入農場等,不過目前仍不能排除「走私雞」出問題的可能性,港府表示還要作進一步調查。 However, with the mainland recently discovered species is different, I think the virus came from local or nearby regions, such as farms into the wild, and so on, but still can not rule out the "smuggling of chicken," the possibility of problems, the Government also said that further investigation .


此外,香港立法會一個委員會十八日討論近日元朗農場雞只感染禽流感事件。 In addition, a committee of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong on the 18th to discuss the recent Yuen Long farm chickens infected with avian flu. 食物及衛生局副局長梁卓偉表示,按一般情況,零售點可在本月三十日恢復銷售活雞,但該局仍然密切留意周邊地區和內地有沒有禽流感風險等問題,以及專家小組的研究結果,以確保市民的食雞安全。 Food and Health Bureau deputy director of the Gabriel Leung said, according to the general situation in retail outlets on the 30th of this month to resume sales of live chickens, but its still keep a close watch on the mainland and the surrounding areas have the risk of bird flu and other issues, as well as the findings of the Panel of Experts To ensure the safety of the public that eating chicken.

香港人過節,可以說是無雞不歡,全城禁售活雞讓港人要過一個無活雞吃的冬至。 Hong Kong people for the holidays, it can be said that no chicken is not Huan, the city banned live chickens to Hong Kong people had a live chicken to eat the winter solstice. 近日記者在街市所見,近日冰鮮雞銷量明顯上升,不過零售價則維持正常。 Reporters have seen recently in the market, the recent marked increase in sales of chilled chickens, but the retail price remains normal.

香港冰鮮禽畜業商會表示,估計冬至前后,冰鮮雞會倍增至每日二十二萬至二十三萬只。 Hong Kong Livestock Industry Association said that the chilled, it is estimated that before and after the winter solstice, chilled chickens would be doubled to a daily 220000-230000. 市民蕭太對本社記者表示,沒有活雞吃,冰鮮雞也要吃,因為家人習慣了過節要吃雞,所以她準備在周末的冬至買兩只冰鮮雞,一只要來煲湯,一只要來做鹽焗雞,相信一樣好好味,而且更安全。 Xiao people too told the reporters that there was no live chickens to eat, and also chilled chickens to eat, because their families for the holidays to get used to eating chicken, so she plans to buy two weekends of the winter solstice chilled chickens, as long as a soup to a As long as the salt baked chicken, I believe, like a good flavor, and more secure.

元朗一個農場爆發禽流感后,香港食物及衛生局宣布成立兩個禽流感調查小組。 A farm in Yuen Long after the outbreak of bird flu, the Hong Kong Food and Health Bureau announced the formation of two bird flu-finding team. 食衛局局長周一岳表示,這兩個小組會全力調查元朗農場發現雞只感染禽流感事故,更會在搜集有關科學數據及資料進行研究的同時,為預防禽流感制定更有效的措施及方向。 The Guardian Food Secretary York Chow said that the two groups will spare no effort in Yuen Long farm found chickens infected with bird flu incidents, but also to collect scientific data and information studies at the same time, in order to prevent bird flu, the development of more effective measures and Direction. 他說,現時並沒有任何證據顯示,禽流感病毒有變種或人傳人的跡象。 He said that at present there is no evidence that the avian flu virus variants, or signs of human to human.

"We lost about 40,000 or 50,000," a poultry farmer near Dongtai city said. "Now, even the chicks are getting infected. We are having to deal with this ourselves. We are burying them in pits."
Dongtai is home to an estimated 10 million farmed poultry.
"They haven't managed to come up with a vaccine yet, and we have had no help from officials. If, as you say, this disease could be a danger to human life, then we didn't know about it. The government should send people down here to take care of it," she added.
Lack of information

Another farmer in the area, surnamed Li, said he didn't know about the outbreak, or what caused it, despite announcements by the Agriculture Ministry in Beijing.
"Chickens die as a normal part of running a poultry business," he said.

"I'm not sure when this took place. There are so many poultry farmers in this region. I haven't heard anything locally about whether this was in fact bird flu. It is only one of the diseases that can affect poultry, after all," Li added.
The first farmer partially confirmed a report by the Hong Kong-based Information Center on Human Rights and Democratic Movement in China, which said some sick chickens had been taken to Shanghai, Shandong, or Guangdong and sold in the wake of the oubreak.
"All of the farms did this. A few would die every day, and then we would just sell them anyway."
She said the poultry merchants then realized there was a problem and started to drop the prices they would give for the chickens.
Local media silence

She said she had heard no announcement from the Agriculture Ministry and had no idea where the chicken carcasses ended up.

She had no idea that the central government was offering compensation of 10 yuan per chicken to farmers who slaughtered sick birds.
In the absence of any new vaccine, she said, she would be forced out of business.
Local news outlets said they hadn't reported the story.
"We haven't heard anything about this," a duty editor in the newsroom of the Dongtai Daily News said.
"Our reporters haven't said anything about it ... I don't know [if there is a reporting ban on this]. That's all I can tell you. I can't say if this is true or if it isn't. How many chickens actually died? What was the disease?"
An employee on duty at the Dongtai television station said they hadn't reported the story either, although he had heard the news.
"No, no. This is provincial-level news. I saw the report, but I don't know the actual details. No, [we didn't report it]."
Roadside checks

But local police said strict controls were being imposed on the movement of any poultry in the area.
An employee who answered the phone at the Sancang township police station, where a large number of poultry farms are concentrated, said the area had been placed under quarantine to ensure that no sick poultry was taken elsewhere.
"The government has dispatched people to every intersection in this area, and they are carrying out roadside checks to prevent infected chickens from being moved around. The checks are continuing [Wednesday]. They have been going on for some time now, although I don't know the details."
The deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu, which has killed more than 200 people and ravaged poultry flocks worldwide since 2003, was found on a chicken farm in Dongtai city and in another farm in Hai'an county, China's Agriculture Ministry said in a statement on its Web site Tuesday.
The virus hasn't been reported in any other locations, and UN Food and Agriculture adviser Vincent Martin sought to play down fears of an outbreak of bird flu in China, which has already seen three confirmed human deaths from bird flu this year.
Martin said the FAO had been notified by Chinese authorities on Tuesday about the outbreak, which could have been triggered by migratory birds.

Re: China: Jiangsu, new avian influenza h5n1 poultry epizootics

Official: tide of poultry death not from bird flu in east China province

www.chinaview.cn 2008-12-20 00:55:57
BEIJING, Dec. 19 (Xinhua) --

The recent tide of poultry death in two cites in east China's Jiangsu Province was not from the infection of bird flu, said an agricultural official here on Friday.


The provincial agriculture and forest bureau held a press conference on Friday to clarify wrong reports by some media saying sample chickens, which were tested positive of mutant H5N1 virus from Dongtai City and its neighboring Hai'an County were among the dead chickens.

"The sample chickens for the test were living ones, which did not show symptoms of sickness," said Wu Peiliang, head of the bureau.

He said the provincial animal disease prevention and control center has found the tide of chicken death was resulted from a respiratory syndrome, which was mainly caused by low temperature.

The bureau did not give the figure on dead chickens.

Wu said that the mutant H5N1 virus found in the two cities were similar to the one found on sample chickens in north China's Shanxi Province in 2006.

China has developed effective vaccines to fight the virus.

"The vaccine has been sent to poultry farmers for free. The vaccination work will be finished by Saturday," he said.

A total of 377,000 birds have been killed after the bird flu virus was found in the province, the agriculture ministry said on Tuesday.

But no outbreak of the bird flu was reported in the two areas and their nearby regions, the ministry said.

Vaccine Resistant H5N1 In Jiangsu China is Clade 7
Recombinomics Commentary 18:54
December 19, 2008

Wu said that the mutant H5N1 virus found in the two cities were similar to the one found on sample chickens in north China's Shanxi Province in 2006.

China has developed effective vaccines to fight the virus.

"The vaccine has been sent to poultry farmers for free. The vaccination work will be finished by Saturday," he said.

The above comments indicate the vaccine-resistant H5N1in Jiangsu province (see updated map) is clade 7 and closely related to A/chicken/Shangxi/02/2006 which was from an outbreak that began in 2005 but was not controlled until 2006 even though OIE reports described three different vaccines used to try to bring outbreaks under control.

The sequence for that outbreak has been released and it had a large number of non-synonymous changes, including multiple changes in or near the receptor binding domain. Moreover, clade 7 had been isolated from the first confirmed case in China, A/Beijing/1/2003, and appears to be circulating in Vietnam also.

Although the recent OIE report indicated the H5N1 was isolated from asymptomatic poultry, the outbreaks in 2005/2006 were lethal (in the 2006 outbreak 20% of the birds had died prior to culling – most of the birds had died in 2005).

Release of sequence data from the Jiangsu outbreak would be useful.
