On the detection of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in wild birds
Was recovered from the feces of ducks in Hokkaido Wakkanai Oonuma October 14, highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (H5N1 subtype) were detected and reported, today, because I was going to tests from Hokkaido let you know.
The birds at the moment of death has not been confirmed, the occurrence of highly pathogenic avian influenza has not been confirmed.
Avian influenza virus, except in special cases such as dense contact with infected birds, usually in a person is considered not infected. In daily life, after touching birds and you'll waste for washing and gargling Ito, excessive worry is not so cool thank you to action.
A history major so far
(1) The place of excrement collection
City of Wakkanai, Hokkaido Oonuma
(2) test results
Going to survey their own feces, Hokkaido, highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in two samples from 183 samples were collected in the city of Wakkanai on May 14, Onuma 10 (H5N1 subtype) were detected.
(3) The situation around
Wakkanai Oonuma in the vicinity, so far, probably due to bird mortality and bird flu has not been confirmed.
For two further responses
MOE is concerned agencies in cooperation with local governments and Hokkaido, for immediate attention below.
(1) Overall coordination <Ministry>
A collection of local information, including through professional hearing, conducted the overall course of management and coordination.
(2) survey found around the site <office environment Hokkaido, Hokkaido, Hokkaido>
[1]
Oonuma virus was detected in the vicinity of highly pathogenic avian influenza, conducted surveillance of wild birds for any abnormality.
[2]
Oonuma detected in the vicinity of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, due to collection of fecal analysis and Swans Anatidae, conduct additional research on the prevalence of the virus.
(3) restricted access around the site to find <Wakkanai>
From 10am today to enter limited Oonuma Wakkanai (No thoroughfare of approach road).
○ risk of this incident
Basically, all birds, avian influenza viruses can infect (and whether different symptoms appear.) Therefore, the avian influenza virus can be detected from the feces of wild duck, by no means uncommon. However, the virus was detected from the feces of highly pathogenic, is the first time in our country. So far, bird flu death since it has not been confirmed at this stage, the higher the risk of mortality as the birds do not think the bird flu.
[Request to the press;
○
Avian influenza viruses are spread through because there are concerns such as shoe soles or vehicles when they are interviewed at the scene, and interviews around the site Access to strictly refrain thank you discovered.
○
Will continue to strive to provide information on this matter so that consumers and producers and officials, it should not be confused by unfounded rumors, thank you for your cooperation.
