High risk of bird flu recurrence 30/10/2007 -- 8:31 PM
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top colSpan=2><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>Ha Noi (VNA) ?The Veterinary Department has warned localities nationwide that there is a high risk of bird flu recurrence, especially with flocks of unvaccinated ducks, saying that floods currently affecting central provinces and the Mekong delta and the cold weather in northern provinces create favourable conditions for the development and spread of the disease.
At a meeting of the National Steering Committee for Bird Flu Prevention and Control in Ha Noi on October 30, the Chairman of the Veterinary Department, Bui Quang Anh, confirmed another outbreak of bird flu in northern Nam Dinh province.
The outbreak occurred on October 26 in a flock of 400 one-month-old ducks. Samples taken from the ducks tested positive for H5N1.
The country has so far reported bird flu outbreaks in the three provinces of Cao Bang, Quang Tri and Nam Dinh, mainly in ducks kept by farmers.-:tiphat: http://www.vnanet.vn/Home/EN/tabid/119/itemid/220595/Default.aspx</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

It is forecast that colder weather in Viet Nam during the next five months will bring more risk to the country as low temperature provides more favorable conditions for the development of the dangerous H5N1 virus.
The Mekong Delta is one of the high-risk areas where local officials have neither paid proper attention to the implementation of epidemic preventive work nor controlled the increasing number of poultry in the area.
In the southern province of Kien Giang, illegal poultry sale, slaughter and transportation are getting out of hand. Meanwhile, more than 12,000 chickens have recently been transported to the other southern province of Bac Lieu but many of them were suspected not having been vaccinated.
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has urged all relevant officials to have tighter control over local poultry farms and closer inspection on hygiene conditions at registered poultry sales.
Local farmers have also been encouraged to take part in the preventive work and report any case of bird flu to relevant officials and agencies.
In related news, the animal health officials have officially announced another outbreak of bird flu in the northern province of Cao Bang after hundreds of chickens and ducks were killed by the disease.:tiphat:
