INDONESIA - BF in PIGS in Bali

[Gert van der Hoek]

Denpasar (Antara News) - Tim the researcher from the Medical Faculty the Udayana University Animal, the Association of the Indonesian Veterinary Surgeon (PDHI), and the Balinese Livestock Breeding Service found

"Two cases were found in two regencies from eight regencies and one city in Bali (that was researched)," said Director Program Pengkajian as well as the Socialisation of Bird Flu and the FKH Unud influenza Pandemic, Drh.
I Gusti Ngurah Mahardika, in Mengwi, on Thursday.
He said, from results of the laboratory research, two positive pig livestock tertular the virus H5N1, but was not found by the new development or the consignment virus from outside the area.
"If the AI virus that fell on the pig livestock immediately was not anticipated, it was worried about could infect the pig livestock naturally in Bali," said Mahardika.
The AI virus apart from attacking the animal livestock, the raging virus in accordance with the official data through to eight in September 2006 attacked 63 people in Java and Sumatra, 48 people among them died.
"Until at this time the case of bird flu in Bali was not yet found was to humankind contagious," said Mahardika while expecting all the sides to increase vigilance to avoid the illness that was dangerous enough this.
Bali with the inhabitants around 3.2 million souls, had the poultry population that was solid enough namely approximately 12 million tails, one million tails among them the pig.
The AI virus to the pig livestock in Bali genetically one klaster with the virus from Sumatra, that is the place of attachments with the receptor in a molecular manner had preference of the poultry receptor.
That must receive serious attention from all the sides, considering the virus H5N1 spread to the poultry in most Indonesian territories, including Bali that kedapatan attacked the chicken livestock, the duck and entok (the goose kind berleher short).

The baby 8 months could be expected by Bird Flu
Sept 2, 2006

Denpasar (Bali Post) - RS Sanglah on last Friday (1/9) accepted the consignment patient from RS Tabanan that it was suspected was infected by the bird flu virus. The patient, mentioned GAA that still was eight months, according to his father, old has been feverish since six days (on Sunday (27/8)). When the first day the fever, he was at once brought to the community health centre took medicine. Until his medicine was finished, his fever did not descend also. Because of that on last Friday (1/9) GAA was at once brought to RS Tabanan. Berhubung the GAA environment close to the poultry, the side of RS Tabanan at once reconciled him to RS to get further help.

"Indeed his grandfather could buy the chicken from the Market Bringkit last Wednesday (23/8), for the Tilem need. One of the chickens died, afterwards following our three kept chickens," said the father. He admitted all the family could be [were] attacked by flu, but all of them have recovered except his youngest child.

As RS reconciliation, the side RS immediately responded to this case seriously. According to Dr. Ken Wirasandhi, Kasi Yadmed Treat Street RS, the medical side RS immediately held the inspection in accordance with the procedure. The patient was brought from RS Tabanan with the diagnosis was suspected by bird flu. The medical official checked and took the sample of blood by making use of the protective equipment and in the special room for the bird flu inspection, said Ken when being contacted Balinese Post, on last Friday (1/9).

After doing anticipation by analysing as well as putting forward standard questions to the family, the medical side RS stated that GAA was not affected by bird flu. This was 'supported from the physical inspection and the story of contact of the poultry did not happen, so this not bird flu', he said. :re: According to Ken someone was affected by bird flu if could experience contact with the poultry. "From the 'family's story, the baby never contact with the poultry'," he added.

His plan of GAA will be treated in Jempiring after the intensive inspection in IRD was finished was done, not in Nusa Beautiful that was prepared RS to treat the bird flu patient. The patient will be treated in the child's space Jempiring. [In other words, another suspected bf patient NOT being kept in isolation....]

A report about bf in Bali from August. Hat-tip, Dutchie!

Aug 12, 2006

(...)

In Bali, bird flu did not only shake the life of the breeder, but also damaged the sector of tourism in the Island of the Gods. If the other country dismissed travel warning in connection with this case, Balinese tourism that was developed was difficult tired after twice was bashed the bomb will come back was destroyed.

Although up to now was not yet found by humankind that was infected by bird flu in Bali, the area was stated as the alert area endemi bird flu.

For the length of October 2003 till June 2006, the Investigation Hall and the Testing of Veteriner Bali recorded poultries in 92 villages from 686 villages in the Balinese Island has tertular [been contaminated by] the virus AI. The Regency that most terjangkit [contaminated] was Bangli, Jembrana, and Tabanan.

To prevent this virus expansion, the Balinese Provincial Government carried out various preventive actions. Apart from the vaccination to millions of poultries in Bali, the Balinese Provincial Government also applied the ban on the entry of the poultry from Java and the West Nusa Tenggara since mid 2005.

Moreover, two villages in Gianyar also were planned to the village was responsive to bird flu. Two villages his plan will become the maintenance model village and the maintenance of the poultry in an integrated manner and hygienic.

Among the delay of the co-ordination centre-area, the regency/the city currently becomes the prop to control bird flu. If not preceptive, this Garuda birds country could become the source of the world misfortune. All of us was convinced that will not happen at this time if and only if we wanted to work hard to know this virus.

Are they saying their swine AI is idenitical to the Sumatra (?Karo) cluster?
And that it has a2,3 receptor preference? Or are they saying it doesn't yet have full RBS capability, i.e., only 227?

BTW - what swine flus currently reside in Balinese swine? Any 228 or 226 mutations?

Also - thanks and welcome to Dutchie.

Some more details from the same research on Bali

The Bird Flu virus was found to Babi (Babi = Pig)

on October 06 2006 | 12:59 WIB

The Interactive TIME, Denpasar: Tim the Medical Faculty the Udayana University Animal found proof that the virus avian influenza (AI) spread to the pig in Bali.
This bird flu virus was carried out by the research in the scale that wider to see the condition for the spread of this virus.

The AI findings to the starting pig from the student's research that diagnosed several pigs that were sick to May-June 2006.

From 20 pigs, two among them positive was infected by the virus H5N1.
"The pig livestock was in Gianyar and Tabanan," said I Gusti Ngurah Mahardika, the faculty's medical lecturer the university, on Friday.
The developing virus to the pig was sick and could not be cured by getting the series of medical treatment.

After being operated on had reddish signs in the network of the spleen.
By making use of technology imono histokimia was seen that the red sign was the virus that was in the network of the pig.
But the virus H5N1 was not found in the network of the animal body.
The "possibility of his virus only numpang lewat
or was acknowledged as the virus that oportunistik," said Mahardika.

The discovery was not yet published as the scientific study, but has been sent to the Balinese Livestock Breeding Service as the warning to be guarded against.

The spread of the virus, according to Mahardika, really dimungkinkan
because of the pattern of the poultry farm and the duck free entered the pigsty.

The possibility of the virus tertular through food or the waste of the animal.

In Bali was gotten by approximately 900 thousand pigs that the coexistence with other livestock.

It seems the study is from november and december 2005; article from the veterinairian journal of the Udayana University of Bali:

The STUDY of the MAPPING AND the dynamics of the FLU VIRUS of BURUNG

As part of the early-warning system to press the risk towards the possibility of the illness emergence avian influenza (AI) or bird flu, that damaged the health of the community and livestock breeding, the Medical Faculty the Udayana University Animal did surveilans and monitoring the AI illness in the Balinese province, the West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), and East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) since November 7 2005.An amount the lecturer's 40 staffs by being helped by 80 students, the staff of the livestock breeding service in respectively the regency as well as at least 40 field veterinary surgeons of the member the Association of the Indonesian Veterinary Surgeon (PDHI) investigated and took the example in 154 villages in 55 subdistricts in Bali, as well as 31 villages from 10 subdistricts in 5 regencies in NTB and NTT, to December 15 2005.The activity surveilans that officially is launched today, Jum?at on November 11 2005, in the Takmung village, the Regency Klungkung Bali, around 30 minutes from Denpasar, by the Rector Unud that was represented by the Chairman LPM, of Prof Nyoman Sadra Dharmawan.
The FKH Unud activity was part of the Program Surveilans National the Liberation of the Illness Avian the Department's influenza of Agriculture that involved FKH the University Airlangga Surabaya, Gajahmada Yogyakarta, the Bogor agricultural Institute, the Research Hall Veteriner Bogor, and the Big Veteriner Hall and the Investigation Hall and the Testing Veteriner Regional se Indonesia.
All this activity didanai through the Fund APBN of the Public's Reserve 2005.
?Dukungan the local livestock breeding service, village equipment, and the community really were needed so as this activity went with baik?, said the Dean FKH Unud, Drh A A the Superior Ruby MSi.
The aim of the activity was (1) the mapping of the territory became the area was infected, the suspect, and free AI in Bali, NTB, and NTT; and (2) detected the sub-type of the AI virus especially to the nonpedigreed chicken, the water poultry, various livestock, and wild birds.Sampling will also be carried out to the layer poultry farm that was vaccinated and the pig that was cut off in the government abattoir and traditional in Bali.
With the territory scope like above, as well as the surface co-ordination of the similar activity that was done by stakeholder other a fairy BPPV Denpasar, ?Dinamika the bird flu virus to various animals in Bali, NTB, and NTT can be known with lengkap?, said the team's co-ordinator surveilans FKH Unud, Dr Drh.G Ngurah Mahardika.This activity will directly increase the local capacity in dealing with bird flu, he added.
Results will become the important foundation in the control of the AI illness in Bali, NTB, and NTT to especially, and Indonesia generally.

H5N1 in swine in Indonesia have novel HA cleavage sites that have NOT been found in bird H5N1 isolates

Indonesian H5N1 Swine and Bird Sequences Are Similar

Recombinomics Commentary
July 4, 2006

The recent meeting on human H5N1 bird flu in Indonesia included phylogenetic trees of HA and M genes. The HA tree identified two separate groupings of the human isolated, color coded in green. The Karo cluster was related to avian isolates. This group is shaded in pink. Another human isolate, IDN/06/05 is the second confirmed Indonesian human case and it is located on a nearby branch. However, the remaining human cases formed a separate branch, located at the bottom of the tree. The only non-human isolate on this branch is an H5N1 isolate from a cat, feline/IDN.CDC1/06. Like the other isolates on the branch, it had a novel cleavage site, RESRRKKR.

The presence of the novel cleavage site in human and cat isolates raised the possibility that the source of the human infections was mammalian rater than human. This first human isolate in Indonesia was in Banten in July 2005. At the time H5N1 was found in swine in Banten and a recent presentation included two H5N1 swine isolates from Banten, as well as 19 chicken isolates from locations throughout Indonesia. These are listed in a phologenetic tree and show that the swine sequences are similar to bird sequences in Indonesia. Moreover, the swine sequences have the common HA cleavage site RERRRKKR, which is in all but two 2003 isolates on the phylogenetic tree. Similarly, most of the Indonesian bird isolates in Indonesia are RERRKKR.

These data indicate the H5N1 in the swine in Banten are not the source of the H5N1 in humans in and around the Jakarta area. In the past year, the human isolates continue to point away from an avian source. There are now over 50 avian isolates collected between 2003 and 2005 in Indonesia. There are a few isolates with novel cleavage sites of RERRRIKR, RERRRIKK, RERRRK_R, and GERRRKKR. However, the vast majority of the bird sequences are RERRRKKR. In contrast, other than the Karo cluster and the second human isolate in Indonesia, all other human isolates form a separate branch on the tree and virtually all have an RESRRKKR cleavage site.

The failure to find a matching source for these sequences, other than one cat isolate, is cause for concern. This failure raises serious surveillance issues in Indonesia and raises doubts concerning transparency in WHO updates, which continue to point toward bird interactions, but fail to identify H5N1 in contact poultry and fail to find matching sequences in a growing number of bird isolates.

The human sequences continue to evolve, yet the sequences of the isolates remain sequestered in a WHO private database. The only HA sequence made public is the sequence from the first human case confirmed in Indonesia. That sequence was placed in the WHO database on August 1, 2005. The phylogenetic tree lists human sequences from over 25 individuals.

The time for release of these data has passed.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Bird Flu Virus Infects Pigs in Bali[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Friday, 06 October, 2006 | 16:12 WIB [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta: The Team of Veterinary Faculty at Udayana University found evidence that avian influenze (AI) virus has infected pigs in Bali. Wider scale research is now in the process.

AI finding on pigs was due to some college students? research which diagnosed several ill pigs from May to June, 2006. Out of 20 pigs, two were positively infected by H5N1 virus. ?The pigs are in Gianyar and Tabanan,? said I Gusti Ngurah Mahardika, a professor at the faculty, Friday (6/10).

The virus grows in ill pigs and the pigs cannot be cured by a series of medical treatment. After surgery, there are red blotches on the spleen. By imono histokimia technology, the red blotches are viruses on the pig?s tissue.

However, H5N1 virus was not found in the animal?s tissue. ?Probably the virus only passed by, or is called an ?opportunistic? virus,? said Mahardika.

The finding has not yet been publicized as scientific study, but it has been conveyed to the Bali Breeding Service as a warning.

Virus contagion, according to Mahardika, is likely because with the pattern of chicken and duck breeding, the animals are free to enter pig stalls. In Bali, 900,000 pigs live side by side with other cattle.

[/FONT]

Brief explanation: They apparently did autopsies of these sick pigs and found "red blotches" on the spleen. This is one of the most common findings of autopsies of all mammals (including humans) with late-stage bird flu (or Spanish Flu for that matter). The "blotches" are actually petechiae caused by internal hemorrhaging due to very low platelet counts. They performed immunohistochemistry on the blotches and isolated the virus, which just simply means that the virus is present in the spleen and thus the bloodstream. The "blotches" are NOT "viruses", as they say--in fact that doesn't even make any sense. Anyway, I hope that helps.
