INDIA: ASSAM, POSSIBLE NEW H5N1 POULTRY EPIZOOTIC (11/26/2008) [RSOE EDIS]

More than 300 poultry birds have died in the past five days in some villages in Assam, fuelling fears of bird flu, officials said here Wednesday, adding that a general alert was sounded in the area.


A veterinary department official said up to 300 chicken and ducks died an unnatural death in some villages around Hajo, about 35 km west of Assam?s main city of Guwahati.

?We have sent samples for laboratory tests to Pune and Bangalore for confirmation. We don?t know for sure if the poultry deaths were due to bird flu,? a veterinary department official said requesting not to be named.

Authorities Wednesday imposed a ban on sale of poultry and have sounded a general alert in about 40 villages in a radius of five kilometers from the area where the deaths were reported.

?By Thursday we shall be getting the laboratory test reports and maybe we have to start the culling process as there has been large-scale reports of deaths coming in from nearby areas,? Kamrup district magistrate R.C. Jain said.

?We have imposed a ban on sale and purchase of poultry and have asked people in the area not to consume chicken or duck as a precautionary measure.?

A general health alert was also sounded in the area.

Teams of experts are now camping in the area and were contemplating culling birds as a precautionary measure.

Residents of the area said a large number of birds were falling sick.

?We saw normal birds dying almost instantly without any symptoms. Now we find some of the poultry in the area a little sick,? said Biswa Das, a villager.)

Days after India says it?s clean, bird flu strikes Assam block [Indian Express]

Days after India says it?s clean, bird flu strikes Assam block

Amitav Ranjan Posted: Nov 27, 2008 at 0027 hrs IST

New Delhi :

Almost a fortnight after India declared itself free of avian flu, preliminary reports have confirmed a fresh outbreak of the virus in Hajo block of Kamrup district in Assam where more than 200 poultry birds have died since last Saturday.


?Preliminary tests by the High Security Animal Disease Laboratory have indicated bird flu to be the reason behind the poultry deaths. The confirmatory test from the same lab is expected tomorrow. The outbreak will be declared once the report identifies the strain,? Government officials said today.

Once the outbreak of High Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H5N1) virus is notified, local health authorities would start culling within the five-km radius of the infected villages, numbered to be around 40.

However, the Department of Animal Husbandry in the Agriculture Ministry has issued instructions to set up a control room.

After the last outbreak reported in Darjeeling in West Bengal in May, there were no further reports prompting the Centre to declare the country free of avian flu.

Between January and May this year, 42 incidents of bird flu were reported from West Bengal and Tripura.

Though the last reported case in Darjeeling was disinfected on June 4, the Government couldn't declare itself flu-free due to a sporadic incident of outbreak in Manipur in July.

After three months elapsed without any incident, the Department on November 4 reported to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) that surveillance in the infected areas showed no signs of the flu and hence it was declaring the country free of bird flu.

The Department also informed the states of the new status but asked them not to be complacent in maintaining vigil against the disease.According to sources, the cause of the flu in Assam was unclear as the affected sites are far from Bangladesh that is frequently affected by the virus.

Moreover, the speed at which the birds were falling ill or dropping dead was a cause for concern, the sources said.

While the state government is claiming that 100 birds had died in the block area, unconfirmed reports put the number at 200, sources said.

H5N1 Returns to Assam India
Recombinomics Commentary 21:01
November 26, 2008

?Preliminary tests by the High Security Animal Disease Laboratory have indicated bird flu to be the reason behind the poultry deaths. The confirmatory test from the same lab is expected tomorrow. The outbreak will be declared once the report identifies the strain,? Government officials said today.

The above comments, coupled with reports of dead poultry including ducks, strongly suggests that the strain in Assam, India will be H5N1. Several weeks ago Bangladesh reported an H5N1 outbreak and major outbreaks were reported in both countries last December and suspect poultry deaths in Assam were reported in January.

Media reports suggest there have been recent outbreaks in multiple locations in Assam, which would also support a migratory bird introductions into India and Bangladesh.

KENDRAPARA: The Forest and Veterinary officials have sounded alert in Bhitarkanika after large numbers of migratory birds started arriving in the national park with the onset on winter.

The officials have also taken precautionary steps to detect any sick birds in the park and its nearby areas, said Dr Keshaba Chandra Mohanty, Chief District Veterinary Officer (CDVO).

Two years back, two scientists from Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) examined a few migratory and local birds to detect the presence of flu virus. But they could not find any trace of it, said the officer.

The forest officials have also sounded a flu alert in the heronry of the park where lakhs of migratory avian species have already arrived.

The Forest and Veterinary officials distributed leaflets and booklets among the villagers near the park to create awareness about the bird flu , said the forest officer.

Forest and veterinary officials are also keeping a watchful eye on migratory birds like bar-headed geese, Bramihin Duck, plovers and other migratory species as they were found carrying H5NI strain of avian influenza in past.

‘‘Last year we collected blood and stool samples of about 300 avian species and sent the samples to Animal Disease Research Institute (ADRI), Bhubaneswar. Later, the officials of ADRI sent the samples to High Security Animal Disease Laboratory (HSADL) in Bhopal. However, the scientists of HSADL could not find any flu affected birds in Bhitarkanika. This year we will also collect blood samples of 300 birds shortly. We have also trained 40 poultry farm owners to detect sick hens,’’ said Mohanty.

Only 300 samples from live birds are being collected, which will almost certainly produce 300 negatives. H5N1 in live wild birds is only detectable for a VERY brief time frame (24-48 hours) while birds are infected.

Bird flu detected at Hajo in State
Ajit patowary
GUWAHATI, Nov 27—Dreaded bird flue has struck the State. Official circles here said that the Bhopal-based High Security Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (HSADL) confirmed this evening the outbreak of the disease among the domesticated fowls of Thakuria Chuba of Rajabazar village under Hajo Revenue Circles of Kamrup district. This is the first case of outbreak of the dreaded disease in the State, said the sources.

Reports of unusual death of fowls in the area started coming since November 21. Meanwhile, reports of unusual death of fowls have also been received from parts of Sarpara village of Palasbari in the same district. The State Veterinary and Animal Husbandry Department has already sent samples collected from the Palasbari birds to the HSADL, said the sources.

Samples collected from the Hajo area were sent to the HSADL on November 23 for confirmation. The experts of the Northeast Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (NERDDL) here collected the samples on November 21 and 22. The NERDDL also conducted preliminary tests on the samples collected on November 21.

The Directorate of Veterinary and Animal Husbandry here received reports of unusual death of domesticated birds from Thakuria Chuba, a locality inhabited by 25 families, on November 21. In the locality 87 fowls were reported dead on November 21. Of the birds, 62 were adult ones.

The next day, 66 birds were reported dead (48 adults), followed by 92 (56 adults) on November 23, 20 (12 adults) on November 24, 27 (19 adults) on November 25 and 32 (17 adults) on November 26. It is believed that at present there are around 100 fowls left in the locality, said the sources.

Now, since the HSADL has confirmed occurrence of the disease in Thakuria Chuba, culling operations will be taken up in an area of 5-km radius around the locality to create a bird-free zone so as to prevent spread of the disease to other areas, the sources said.

On the steps taken so far by the Directorate to prevent spread of the disease to other areas, sources said that immediately after receiving the information of the unusual death of the birds in the locality, a team of experts from the NERDDL headed by the in-charge of the Laboratory, rushed to the spot and took preventive measures and collected bio specimen and tested them at the NERDDL.

The experts collected morbid and sera samples from the area on November 22 and communicated the report of the development to the authorities concerned in the State and the Central Governments that day. The samples collected from the Hajo area were sent to the HSADL, Bhopal by special messenger with intimation to the Joint Commissioner (LHS) of the Central Government on November 23.

This was followed by the despatching of six Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) to the spot and necessary instructions were issued. The Department, in close association with the civil authorities, has been closely monitoring the overall situation in the area. The local people have also been made aware of the safe practices of poultry handling and proper disposal of the last remains of the dead birds.

On November 25, the Joint Commissioner (LHS) of the Union Government arrived at the city and held discussions with the departmental officers, State’s Veterinary Commissioner and Deputy Commissioners of both the Kamrup (Metro) and Kamrup districts. The Joint Commissioner also reviewed the situation on ground.

As per the direction of the Joint Commissioner (LHS), bio specimens from high mortality area were sent to the Pune-based National Institute of Virology by a special messenger and poultry population in the 0-5 km and 5-10 area around Thakuria Chuba were also calculated, said the sources.

H5N1 Confirmed in Assam India

Official circles here said that the Bhopal-based High Security Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (HSADL) confirmed this evening the outbreak of the disease among the domesticated fowls of Thakuria Chuba of Rajabazar village under Hajo Revenue Circles of Kamrup district.

The above comments confirm H5N1 in the deaths of 297 birds near Hajo in the Kamrup district of Assam. Suspect H5N1 is also reported near Palasbari (see satellite map).

Assam has not confirmed H5N1 previously, although adjacent West Bengal and Bangladesh reported major outbreaks at the beginning of this year, when unusual poultry deaths were also reported in Assam. Recently Bangladesh reported confirmed H5N1 in Naogon, about 135 miles southwest of the outbreak in Hajo (see satellite map).

The death of 3/4 of the poultry near Hajo suggests additional outbreaks will be reported.

Centre?s aid sought to check H5N1 spread
Pranesh Sarkar
KOLKATA, Nov. 27: The state government sought the Centre's assistance to prevent the spread of the H5N1 virus in the state.
In the wake of a Bird Flu outbreak in the neighbouring Bangladesh, the state blamed its failure in carrying out surveillance of poultry in the Darjeeling Hill on the agitation of the Gorkha Jana Mukti Morcha. The state ARD officials could not carry out surveillance in Darjeeling due to the ongoing impasse.
Recently, the department of animal husbandry and dairying has asked the state to maintain strong surveillance on poultry in all districts following a Bird Flu outbreak in Bangladesh. But, a few senior officials of state animal resources development department said though all possible steps have been initiated in all districts, no such step could be initiated in Darjeeling.
Mr Anisur Rahman, state ARD minister, admitted that they were finding it difficult to carry out surveillance of poultry as directed by the Centre.
?We have informed the Centre about the situation. We have sought their assistance to maintain surveillance as our officials are facing trouble to carry out the programme which is needed to nip the H5N1 virus in the bud,? the minister said.
It may be recalled that the state suffered hugely after it failed to check the spread of the H5N1 virus in January last year.
The Centre has issued a caution notice after news of Bird Flu hitting Bangladesh spread. Last time also, it was found that the virus had entered the state through Bangladesh. As the state failed to react on time to the threat, the virus had spread to as many as 16 districts. The Centre had also held the lackadaisical attitude of the state responsible for the rapid spread of the virus.
?Though the Centre said that initial steps to control the virus were delayed, the entire containment process was carried out very efficiently especially if it is considered that the outbreak took place in backyard poultry. However, we are leaving no stone unturned this year. We have also asked the Centre to inform us if any Bird Flu case is confirmed in the earliest so that we can initiate proper steps to nip the problem in the bud,? the minister added.

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=articleheader>Test confirms Hajo bird flu
</TD></TR><TR><TD class=articleauthor>A STAFF REPORTER</TD></TR><TR><TD class=story align=left>
Guwahati, Nov. 27: The Kamrup district administration tonight ordered culling of poultry in Rajapara village near Hajo after tests for bird flu proved positive.
Deputy commissioner R.C. Jain said he was informed of the test results this evening and accordingly sent out orders to cull the birds.
?We have been ready since yesterday. But now the culling will start tomorrow,? Jain said.
The administration had sent samples of the dead birds to the High Security Laboratory in Bhopal on Monday after 324 poultry died last week.
Jain said Thakuriapara in Rajapara under Hajo police station had 59 families, of which 24 rear poultry in their backyard on a commercial scale.
The deputy commissioner said 20 teams had been formed to carry out the culling operations and all the associated paraphernalia were in place.
The movement of birds had earlier been restricted to a radius of 5km of Thaku- riapara to prevent the disease from spreading, though till this evening veterinarians only suspected it to be bird flu.
Asenior veterinary official from Delhi, A.B. Negi, arrived in Hajo yesterday for observation and supervision of the operations if the need arose.
Jain said nearly 30,000 birds would be culled. ?The entire operation is likely to take about three days,? he said.
For each small chicken culled, a cash compensation of Rs 20 would be paid to the owner, while Rs 50 is the rate for bigger birds.
For ducks, the compensation ranges from Rs 75 to Rs 160 depending on their size and breed.
Each egg that is destroyed, on the other hand, will fetch Rs 2 as compensation.
?We will pay the compensation on the spot,? Jain said.
The official said there was no need to ban the sale of poultry elsewhere in the state because of bird flu in one village.
Hajo, which is about 40km from here, meets a significant size of Guwahati?s poultry requirement.

The Avian Flu seems to spread.


Officials report outbreak of bird flu in northeast

Fri Nov 28, 2008

GUWAHATI, India (Reuters) - Authorities in Assam have ordered culling thousands of chicken and ducks after a fresh outbreak of bird flu in poultry was detected late on Thursday, a senior official said.

"We were informed that the samples sent to laboratories in Bhopal and Pune have been tested positive. So we have ordered for culling in the area, which will start today," R. C. Jain, a senior state government official said on Friday.

"It is H5N1 stain," he said in Guwahati, the region's biggest city.

More than 30,000 chickens and ducks would be slaughtered in next three days in 20 villages, after one of them was hit by bird flu, officials said.

Authorities started to worry about a new outbreak after hundreds of poultry died in Rajabazar village, just 35 km west of Guwahati.

India has not reported any human infections so far, though the first outbreak in poultry was reported in 2006 in the western state of Maharashtra.

Experts fear the H5N1 strain could mutate into a form easily transmitted from person to person, leading to a pandemic.

?About 30,000 poultry to be culled in Assam?
November 28th, 2008 - 6:53 pm ICT by IANS -

Guwahati, Nov 28 (IANS) About 30,000 chickens and ducks will be culled in Assam during the next four days as an outbreak of bird flu in poultry
has been reported in the state, an official said.?The entire culling process is expected to be completed in three to four days as our teams are visiting each and every household in the area. We estimate there could be some 30,000 poultry birds in the area where culling is currently underway,? said Manoranjan Choudhury, deputy director of the Assam veterinary department.

The Indian health ministry Thursday confirmed outbreak of bird flu after laboratory tests confirmed strains of the deadly H5N1 avian influenza. Sale and purchase of poultry has been banned in the state.

Choudhury said about 30,000 chickens and ducks would be slaughtered in about 40 villages of Thakurichuba village, about 40 km west of Guwahati. The veterinary personnel involved in the culling process were being administered the antiviral drug Tamiflu as a precautionary measure.

?The process of culling has already started involving about 20 Rapid Response Teams with seven members in each group led by a veterinarian,? he said.

More than 300 birds died in the past one week in the state. Assam?s veterinary and animal husbandry department sounded an alert and is maintaining a strict surveillance on farms in the state.
