Bird Flu in Egypt - National Committee for Combating Bird Flu: No human bird flue case detected in January, 1/2/2008
[http://birdflu.sis.gov.eg/html/flu01021114a.htm]



The Supreme National Committee for Combating Bird Flu reviewed in its meeting on 31/1/2008 chaired by Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation with the presence of Ministers of Health, Environment, Local Development and a number of Governors the latest developments of bird flu on the national and international levels during 2006, 2007 and 2008.

The Committee reviewed the directives made by the Supreme National Committee for Combating Bird Flu it its meeting chaired by Prime Minister Dr. Ahmed Nazif on 8/1/2008 concerning procedures to control the disease in all governorates whether in farms or house raising.

Spokesman for the Committee ambassador Ayman Kaffas said, at a press conference following the meeting, that all reports discussed by the Committee confirmed that no human bird flu case was spotted in January noting that since the killer virus was detected in Egypt in 2006, forty three infections had been reported, out of which 24 were cured and the rest (19) passed away.
He pointed out that non-appearance of human cases is attributed to the efforts exerted by the National Committee in cooperation with the local councils, bodies of Ministry of Health, veterinary and media.

Kaffas stressed that the intensified media campaigns have promoted the public awareness of the symptoms of avian flu virus.

This has led number of reports on the infections whether human or bird to increase to 10.000 reports during January 2008 against 213 during the second half of 2007.

Only 14 farms have been affected by the bird flu during January 2008, 20 farms during the second half of 2007 and 34 farms during the first half of 2007

Spokesman of the Committee said that the reports discussed by the Committee shown that house raising of poultry remains the first source of H5N1 virus infection due to non-adoption of sound regulations noting that infection increased during January to reach 42 epicenters as compared to 20 epicenters during December.

In January, 100 million birds were vaccinated against the virus compared to 76 million in December and 36 training courses were organized with participation of more than 883 physicians and veterinarians, Kaffas added.

Re: Internet disrupted in Egypt and India

Ships did not cut internet cables

Egypt: 3 hours, 32 minutes ago

Ships are not responsible for damaging undersea internet cables in the Mediterranean, Egypt's Government says, reported AFP.

Two cables were damaged earlier this week in the Mediterranean sea and another off the coast of Dubai, causing widespread disruption to internet and international telephone services in Egypt, Gulf Arab states and South Asia.

A fourth cable linking Qatar to the United Arab Emirates was damaged on Sunday causing yet more disruptions, telecommunication provider Qtel said.

Egypt's transport ministry said footage recorded by onshore video cameras of the location of the cables showed no maritime traffic in the area when the cables were damaged.

EGYPT: Bird flu infection rates down 40 percent since early 2008 -government

05 Feb 2008
Source: IRIN

Reuters and AlertNet are not responsible for the content of this article or for any external internet sites. The views expressed are the author's alone.

CAIRO, 5 February 2008 (IRIN) - Egypt's Supreme Committee to Combat Bird Flu - a government body - said on 2 February that infection rates among poultry in farms and in backyards had dropped by an average of 40 percent since the beginning of 2008, due to media campaigns and vaccination drives.

Ayman Kaffas, a spokesman for the Committee, said no new suspected human bird flu cases were confirmed in January, reflecting the positive steps taken by the national committee in cooperation with the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Agriculture, the World Health Organization (WHO), local councils, as well as veterinary officials and the media.

However, Patrick Crump, Save the Children country director for Egypt, said this success indicator was not significant when looking at the big picture: "The current trend in bird flu infection rates [in Egypt] may be downwards, but only temporary. With endemic diseases like bird flu, there are up and down fluctuations from week to week."

Several non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Egypt have stepped up their public awareness initiatives, especially in rural areas, to complement government measures at the community level and make contingency plans in the event of pandemic outbreaks.

The Egyptian office of Save the Children, for example, has recently started an "avian flu free villages" campaign which is part of a communication strategy for healthy living initiated by the USA's Johns Hopkins University in collaboration with the US Agency for International Development (USAID).

The campaign, which also involves other civil society organisations and local governors, focuses on how people can identify bird flu risk factors and detect infection symptoms.

Women, children at greatest risk

Saham Yassin, the Save the Children head of health in Qena Governorate, told IRIN that efforts are under way to train specific target groups of rural women who raise and slaughter poultry domestically, as well as school children in the villages of the most affected governorates (Qena, Minya, and Fayyoum).

Since the first detection of the H5N1 virus in humans in Egypt in February 2006, a disproportionate number of patients have been women and children. They are the ones who mostly come into contact with "backyard birds" raised at home and on rooftops.

However, Crump said the "village-to-village strategy is still not the best response, especially in Egypt which has approximately 5,000 villages".

He said the communication strategy needed to adopt better surveillance mechanisms and form special teams for rapid response in rural areas, instead of spending large amounts of money on national media campaigns.

"Such teams could be deployed to an outbreak site as soon as a new case is detected and immediately start awareness mobilisation about the bird flu virus in the affected zone," Crump said.

Need to change popular behaviour

But the successful implementation of new communication strategies and achieving a long-term decrease in infection rates depends on changing popular behaviour, such as slaughtering practices or improving hygiene standards.

Ibrahim Kerdany, WHO spokesman for the eastern Mediterranean region, said "changing the behaviour of people and persuading them to participate in the campaigns are not easy tasks, especially in a region where chickens are so important for livelihoods and the domestic economy."

According to Crump, there is widespread fear among the rural population that all chickens would have to be culled if there was a single suspected bird flu case. "People are still hiding their chickens under the bed. They fear their family's livelihood would be destroyed, so many still don't report the appearance of suspected cases to the authorities."

So far, the most important preventive measures to combat the spread of the avian flu virus have included banning the raising of birds in towns and the transportation of poultry without authorisation between provinces, and massive inoculation campaigns.

Vaccination drive

According to the Supreme Committee to Combat Bird Flu, 100 million birds were vaccinated against the virus in January, compared to 76 million in December 2007, and 36 training courses were organised by the government involving over 883 physicians and veterinarians to improve local capacity in preventing future outbreaks.

WHO said on 1 February 2008 that since the outbreak of the virus in Egypt in February 2006, 43 human bird flu cases had been confirmed, of which 19 had died.

According to Crump, there is still a need for better cooperation and information flows between the Egyptian government, international bodies and the NGO community in tackling the virus.

The statistics and studies that before February 17, 2006 was poultry production represents 40% of the total agricultural production and 35% of national income and the size of agricultural capital invested 18 billion pounds in the industry live from 4 to 5 million citizens and employ 2 million workers. <o></o>
The volume of exports of poultry amounted to 30 million dollars annually after achieving self-sufficiency in white meat. <o></o>
The Education household represent 20% of total production, which is 7.5 billion eggs annually and 850 million chickens ..Through these figures shown us the size of this sector to come before us this disease, and now two years after this disaster, we find that these figures had plummeted more frightening to reach less than half. <o></o>
The Youssef Ibrahim professor of poultry diseases that the repercussions of avian influenza left behind have been frightening to a halt as thousands of farm work and who works including Fberba capacity because of the severe losses suffered by poultry producers and the media panic that struck people after injuring many contacts for poultry rearing, whether domestic or in the farms and the death of some of them to become Egypt among the top three countries in the world in terms of the number of deaths and injuries.A Youssef Ibrahim Rift Valley fever which devastated Egypt in 1978, which was causing thousands 7 because of transmission of the disease from cattle to humans, the number of deaths and 200 cases did not do what it did not retreat from avian influenza livestock sector rates decline in the poultry sector . <o></o>
Khaled Nasr shows educators one that works in this area since the mid-nineties, said: graduated in the number of farms, which I rented for the exercise Nchati in poultry and white municipal small farm Bnbrin each ward includes five thousand chickens, only reached 150 thousand chickens per session represented Mothers in fattening, eggs and mix my mothers and mothers of my free, poultry and poultry fattening white mixture between free and municipal Alsaso and municipal glabrous azure known abroad. <o></o>
He added: All the conditions exist for success and achieve significant gains in feed prices were commensurate with the rates and prices of poultry chicks Stock Exchange prudent fodder at the time, specifically in the period from 1977 until in 2003 it ranged between 750 per ton apparent until calves 950 pounds homeland maize was

وكان سعر كيلو الدواجن في السوق وقتها أربعة جنيهات أو أقل وكان الجميع يحقق مكاسب والمواطن البسيط باستطاعته أن يشتري الدواجن ويعتمد علي لحومها البيضاء هرباً من ارتفاع أسعار اللحوم والآن وبعد اجتياح مرض انفلونزا الطيور تخطت خسائري مئات الألوف وأصبحت الآن لا أمتلك إلا مزرعة واحدة فقط تضم خمسة آلاف دجاجة فقط بعد إغلاق جميع المزارع الأخري وتسريح عشرات العمال والمهندسين، فسعر الكتكوت وصل الي 350 قرشاً نظراً لإعدام كثير من الأمهات إما بسبب المرض وإما بسبب عدم قدرة أصحابها علي إطعامها بسبب ارتفاع أسعار الأعلاف فسعر طن العلف التسمين قارب حوالي 2700 جنيه وسعر ​

The price of one kilo of poultry in the market and then four pounds or less Everyone was achieved gains and simple citizens able to buy poultry and rely on their meat white escape the high prices of meat, now and after the invasion of bird flu surpassed stop hundreds of thousands and now not only his farm only one of five Thousands of chickens only after the closure of all the other farms and the demobilization of tens of workers and engineers, Nestling price reached 350 2700 pounds and the Price of maize increased to 1900 pounds homeland to win soy concentrates and 3200 pounds to 4000 pounds and the price per ton of oil to 800 pounds at a time in which the price of a kilogram of live poultry to more than nine pounds and the absence of poultry farms and limited supply. <o></o>

ويضيف المهندس إسماعيل رياض صاحب مزارع لتسمين الدواجن: ان أسعار الأعلاف وحدها ليست هي السبب في إحجام كثير من المربين عن التربية، ولكن الخوف من الإصابة بمرض انفلونزا الطيور خصوصاً بعد ان رفضت الحكومة صرف أية تعويضات للمزارع التي أصيبت وارتفاع حجم المخاطرة الذي يتكبده التاجر الذي يذهب إلي المزرعة لشراء الدواجن في ساعات متأخرة من الليل خوفاً من كمائن الشرطة والتي تضم أطباء ومهندسين من البيئة والزراعة وتقوم بالمصادرة والإعدام أو لجوء البعض إلي دفع رشاوي لضعاف النفوس للهروب من عملية الإعدام وحرق الأقفاص واحتجاز السيارات عدة أسابيع.​

He adds, Ismail Riyadh's poultry farms for fattening: The prices of fodder alone is not the reason for the reluctance of many educators as education, but the fear of bird flu disease, especially after the government refused to exchange any compensation to farms that have been increases, the risk incurred by the trader that goes to the farm to buy chickens in the late hours of the night for fear of ambushes police, which includes doctors and engineers from the environment, agriculture and the forfeiture and penalty or resorting to some pay bribes for weaker souls to escape from the cages executions and the burning of cars and detain several weeks.<o></o>

أما القنبلة التي يفجرها المحاسب نعمان الجنولي - مربي - فهي اختفاء السلالات البلدية المشهورة من الأسواق بسبب إحجام معظم المربين عن التربية بسبب الهلع من انفلونزا الطيور من جهة وارتفاع أسعار الأعلاف من جهات أخري ولجوء كثير من مزارع الأمهات الي التخلص من إنتاجها هرباً من الخسائر المتتابعة وإغلاق مئات المعامل البلدية التي تعمل منذ مئات السنين بالطرق البدائية لنقف أمام كارثة اندثار سلالة مصرية تتوارثها الأجيال ونخشي أن يأتي علينا يوم نجد هذه السلالات مجرد تاريخ.​

The bomb, which triggered the accountant Numan Aljnoli - a ranch - it is the disappearance of the famous strains municipal markets because of the reluctance of most educators on education because of fear of avian influenza on one hand and rising prices of feed from others and harbouring many farms mothers to get rid of their production to escape from successive losses and the closure Hundreds of municipal laboratories operating since hundreds of years primitive ways to stand before the disaster extinction Dynasty Egyptian Ttwartha generations and fear that day comes, we find these breeds simply history.<o></o>

ويؤكد فوزي المصري أحد مستوردي الخامات ان أسعار الذرة الصفراء وصلت إلي ارتفاعات غير مسبوقة بسبب سوء الأحوال الجوية بالدول المصدرة واتجاه بعض الدول الي استخدام الذرة لاستخراج مصادر للطاقة وهذا الارتفاع يكبدنا خسائر لا تقل عن 100 جنيه خسارة في كل طن ذرة صفراء يصل إلي أصحاب المزارع بسبب التعاقدات معهم والتي تكبدنا خسائر كبيرة.​

The Fawzi one Egyptian importers of raw materials, the prices of maize arrived at altitudes unprecedented because of poor weather conditions in exporting countries and the tendency of some States to use corn to produce energy sources and this rise huge losses of not less than 100 pounds per ton loss in Maize up to the owners of farms because engagements with them, which suffered heavy losses.

ونأمل ان تنخفض الأسعار خلال الشهر القادم بعد تحسن الأحوال الجوية ليتسني للمتوقفين عن العمل العودة إلي التربية مرة أخري نظراً لأن تكلفة الإعلان وحدها أصبحت تمثل 75% من تكلفة التربية.​

We hope that prices fall during the next month after the weather improved so dependent on the work of the return to education again because the cost of declaration alone now represents 75% of the cost of education.

Egyptian girl tests positive for bird flu-MENA

Mon 25 Feb 2008, 22:52 GMT

[-] Text [+] CAIRO, Feb 25 (Reuters) - A 4-year-old Egyptian girl tested positive for bird flu on Monday, the 44th confirmed human case in the Arab world's most populous country, state news agency MENA said.

Ministry of Health spokesman Abdel Rahman Shaheen said the girl had been treated with the antiviral drug tamiflu and had been transferred from Minya province to a hospital in Cairo, the agency said.

The girl is suffering from a high fever and is having trouble breathing because she has inflammation of one of her lungs.

Four Egyptian women died from bird flu in December. Their deaths broke a 5-month pause in human cases in Egypt and brought to 19 the number of Egyptians who have died of the H5N1 bird flu virus since it emerged in Egypt in early 2006.

It is the third winter the virus has struck after lying low during Egypt's hot summers, when it is much less likely to spread from one carrier to another.

Around 5 million households in Egypt depend on poultry as a main source of food and income, and the government has said this makes it unlikely the disease can be eradicated despite a large-scale poultry vaccination programme.

WHO officials have said the bird flu virus was now considered endemic in Egypt.

Deaths from bird flu total more than 230 worldwide since 2003 and have been reported in several African and Asian countries, as well as in Turkey and Azerbaijan. Egypt has been the hardest-hit country outside of Asia.

Health experts fear the virus could mutate into a form that spreads easily from one person to another, possibly triggering a pandemic that could kill millions.
