H5N1 bird flu found in dead wild bird in Germany

Re: H5N1 bird flu found in dead wild bird in Germany

Two new cases of high-sticking on form of the bird flu in Saxonia In Saxonia there are two new cases of bird flu with game animals. On Thursday in the Macherner close-calibrate (hollow talc rice) dead found hood diver and on Friday a dead swan discovered in gate gau were infected with the hochpathogenen variant of the H5N1-Virus, as the Ministry of Health communicated on Monday in Dresden. Investigations of the Friedrich Loeffler institute on the island Riems would have resulted in this. In both cases a restricted area in the periphery by three kilometers and an observation area were furnished. Machern/Torgau (strip packing lsc).

Re: H5N1 bird flu found in dead wild bird in Germany

Monday, 9 July 2007 bad fears bird flu expands In East Germany the fear of further spreading also of the bird flu dangerous for humans grows. On Monday in Saxonia two further cases had been proven. Friedrich Loeffler Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut found, communicated the virus H5N1 with a dead hood diver from Machern with Leipzig and a swan made of gate gau the Saxonian Ministry of Health. In both cases around the discovery site a restricted area with a radius was proven by three kilometers. It applies absolute stable obligation to utilizable poultry. Thus the virus at three places in things was discovered. The bird flu had emerged for the first time Germany far in this year well two weeks ago in Nuernberg. Further cases followed in Thuringia and Saxonia-Anhalt. The veterinary centre one field south resin appealed to the poultry owners to absolutely keep because of the very high infection risk for utilizable poultry existence the arranged measures. "concerns in particular: no contact with game water birds!" Referring to the occurrence of the bird flu are Mattigkeit and lack of appetite with the animals, breath way illnesses as well as lodgements of water (edemas) or bleedings at head, neck or legs.

Re: H5N1 bird flu found in dead wild bird in Germany

Further cases of bird flu proven In Saxonia further cases were proven by bird flu. Friedrich Loeffler Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut has the virus H5N1 with a dead hood diver from close-calibrates Machern (hollow talc rice) as well as a swan from gate gau (circle Torgau Oschatz) found, the Saxonian Ministry of Health communicated on Monday. In both cases around the discovery site a restricted area with a radius was proven by three kilometers. It applies absolute stable obligation to utilizable poultry. Thus the virus was discovered in the meantime at three places in Saxonia. According to data of the office for land advice hollow talc rice after the find in Machern as a precaution scarcely 50 existence with approximately 500 animals are examined. It concerns house poultry of private keepers of an animal, said a spokeswoman. The bird flu had been determined two weeks ago ago for the first time again in Saxonia in a protected area in glad castle (Leipziger country). At that time three dead peak swans infected with H5N1 had been found. Since then there the stable obligation applies to feather/spring cattle in a three kilometers large radius. The hollow talc rice already past year had been afflicted by the bird flu. In April 2006 the hochpathogene virus had penetrated into a poultry breeding enterprise in Wermsdorf east of Leipzig and in Germany a utilizable animal existence had for the first time infected. At that time approximately 22,000 animals had been killed. The current finds occupy in opinion of the Ministry that the H5N1-Virus is far common further in the game bird population. They joined besides the happening in the region. On weekend it had given new proofs for bird flu in Saxonia-Anhalt as well as Bavaria and France. At the border to Thuringia at artificial lake the Kelbra so far scarcely 250 dead game birds were in-collected. The type of virus H5N1 was determined so far with 153 animals. In Thuringia meanwhile 1200 chickens, geese and ducks were killed. With it the authorities reacted to that country widely first occurrence of the H5N1-Virus with utilizable poultry since the past year (dpa)

Re: H5N1 bird flu found in dead wild bird in Germany

09. July 2007 already 43 of cases of bird flu in Germany Sangerhausen - the bird flu continues to spread: In Saxonia with a swan in Torgau Oschatz and with a hood diver in the hollow talc rice potenziell also the virus H5N1 Asia dangerous for humans was confirmed, how the Saxonian Social Department said on Monday in Dresden on AP inquiry. In the bird flu area at artificial lake the Kelbra at the border of Saxonia-Anhalt and Thuringia were found further 28 dead game birds. In this year Friedrich Loeffler Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (FLI) confirmed altogether 43 cases of bird flu in Germany. The epidemic had been determined first at the end of of June in Nuernberg. Why the virus is active now straight in the Federal Republic, in Tschechien and in France, one could clarify not yet finally, said FLI spokeswoman Elke Reinking on request. Generally one always assumed the virus is present still in game birds. Particularly under the water birds give it to kinds, which infected themselves, but ended not at the illness. These animals would continue to give the virus to empfaenglichere kinds such as peak swans or hood divers. "we cannot measure yet whether a larger epidemic disease becomes", stressed Reinking. Poultry owners were urgently referred to it, their utilizable poultry against contact with game birds to protect. The Lands of the Federal Republic should look at and examine very exactly their risk areas existing at present whether if necessary here and there another evaluation must be met. For the population in Germany exist however absolutely no increased risk. Humans should be watchful, but purge in no case into panic. Generally apply: Dead game animals with bare hands do not touch. At artificial lake the Kelbra rose the number of the dead game birds to 218, as the veterinary centre communicated one field south resin. It concerns black neck and hood divers. With 38 in the past week H5N1 one had determined. Standing waters were constantly searched for dead animals. After the outbreak of the bird flu with a house goose in the Thuringian Wickersdorf intensive protection devices were met. The district administration office of the circle concerned Saalfeld Rudolstadt called the poultry owners, their existence, to announce in addition, dead animals to the responsible veterinary centre. It would be better, if in the country all owners would announce themselves, whose animals were not yet registered, said the speaker of the Thuringian Ministry of Health, Thomas Schulz. Approximately around Wickersdorf approximately 1,200 animals had been killed. The inhabitants of an obstruction mechanism, that had close contact for therapeutic purposes to the animals, were brought immediately into a hospital. So far all test results are negative. Also the first findings with the examined animals are negative.

Re: H5N1 bird flu found in dead wild bird in Germany

Bird flu: FLI changes for evaluation (kig) the finds of infected game birds in now four Lands of the Federal Republic causes Friedrich Loeffler Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (FLI), to evaluate the risk evaluation of a bringing in of hochpathogenem aviaerem Influenzavirus H5N1 ("bird flu") into utilizable poultry existence in Germany again as "highly". Infections of game birds with the bird flu virus of the type H5N1 were announced also from the Czech republic and from France. The exact geographical propagation of the virus can not be measured at present, is called it on the part of the institute. The scientists proceed from a local epidemic happening with game birds at artificial lake the Kelbra at the border from Thuringia to Saxonia-Anhalt. On the Saxonia anhaltinischen side over 100 dead game birds were found, the national investigation laboratory tightened so far with 39 black and hood divers an infection with H5N1-Virus. Of it 13 samples went to the reference laboratory for aviaere influenza at the FLI, which confirmed in the meantime an infection with hochpathogenem H5N1. The large number at infected animals refers to an accordingly high infection pressure in the game bird population locally. Although momentarily no classical migratory bird activities take place, the virus can be quite spread over shorter distances by game birds. Some kinds of game bird accomplish for example Mauserzuege so mentioned, with which the animals in certain areas collect themselves, which offer protection from Fressfeinden to them. The complete risk evaluation and the current report on the situation are available in the InterNet shortly under http://www.fli.bund.de

The above indicates only a small subset of the dead birds have been tested locally (38 were reported last week), and al smaller subset have been sent to FLI (13 were also confirmed last week). It is not clear how many more will be in the update (last weels report had 31 confirmed positives from various locations in Germany). The number confirmed could go much higher, it the additional dead birds are tested (last week 153 had been sent in locally),
 
Re: H5N1 bird flu found in dead wild bird in Germany

Still no further H5N1-Fall confirms district (TZ/fk). In the process of the daily of yesterday coworkers of the food monitoring and veterinary centre (LUEVA) of the district Torgau Oschatz collected two further dead game birds in. It concerns a Blesshuhn with Belgern and a pigeon in gate gau. The latter was sent in only as a precaution however for investigation, since the discovery site lies in the restricted area. "pigeons are resistant to the H5N1-Virus, can it however transfer", like that Dr. Gabriele knight from the LUEVA. However it warns, in the reference to the diagnosed poultry plague find (H5N1 type Asia) with the swan on past Friday at the large pond, before panic in the population.

Pigeons were resistant to HK/220 infection, lacking gross and histologic lesions, viral antigen, and reisolation of virus. These results imply that emus and geese are susceptible to i.n. inoculation with the HK/220 virus, whereas ducks and pigeons are more resistant. These latter two species probably played a minimal epidemiologic role in the perpetuation of the H5N1 Hong Kong?origin influenza viruses.

In reality, research by the United States Department of Agriculture has shown that pigeons are resistant or minimally susceptible to infection with the H5N1

The pigeons inoculated with HP CK/PA H5N2 or HP CK/Australia H7N7 remained apparently healthy throughout the 21-day observation period, did not shed viruses on 3, 7, 14, and 21 days postinoculation (DPI), and had no demonstrable levels of antibodies on 21 DPI.

Re: H5N1 bird flu found in dead wild bird in Germany

The cat's owner volunteered the information that the cat had eaten a pigeon (Columba levia) carcass 5 days before illness onset. The owner reported that the cat had a temperature of 41?C, was panting, and appeared to be depressed. Furthermore, the cat had convulsions and ataxia and died 2 days after onset of illness. The cat was given a single dose of 75 mg aspirin 1 day before it died; however, its body temperature remained elevated. Many dead pigeons were found in the area where the cat lived. Necropsy of the cat showed cerebral congestion, conjunctivitis, pulmonary edema, severe pneumonia, renal congestion, and hemorrhage in the intestinal serosa............

The HPAI H5N1 isolate recovered from the infected cat's lung was labeled A/Cat/Thailand/KU-02/04. In addition, an isolate of HPAI H5N1 from an infected pigeon in the area where the cat lived was included in the study and labeled A/Pigeon/Thailand/KU-03/04.

Leipzig. In the entire city of Leipzig a stable obligation applies to poultry for Tuesday. Besides poultry markets are and look up to further forbidden, communicated the veterinarian and food supervisory board. On Monday after the find one had been furnished with the virus H5N1 of infected hood diver in Machern (hollow talc rice) an observation area, in-handed into the city Leipzig. In Saxonia the virus was discovered so far at three places. In the cities concerned glad castle (Leipziger country), Machern and gate gau (circle Torgau Oschatz) were proven restricted areas with a radius by three kilometers. Meanwhile in the hollow talc rice further animals - under it ducks, a singing bird a chicken and a sea gull - were tested. With all eight animals from the range of the infected hood diver 'all-clear' signal could be given, communicated the district administration office.
