AOMORI/NIIGATA ? A highly contagious avian flu outbreak has been confirmed at poultry farms in Niigata and Aomori prefectures, forcing local governments to cull more than 300,000 chickens and ducks on Tuesday.The cases are the first of a highly pathogenic H5 strain of the virus in domestic poultry since January 2015 when it was detected in Okayama and Saga prefectures.

South Korea experienced an outbreak of bird flu earlier this month, possibly transmitted by migratory birds. Experts warned that the outbreak could spread nationwide as infected wild birds have been found in many parts of the country.

Tests have confirmed the presence of the H5 strain at the poultry farm in the village of Sekikawa, Niigata Prefecture, while Aomori Prefecture is trying to confirm whether the virus at a local duck farm is also H5.

A local official found about 40 dead chickens at the Niigata farm Monday. Five of the birds tested positive. The Niigata Prefectural Government began culling the estimated 310,000 chickens at the farm.

In Aomori, where 10 ducks were found dead Monday, the prefectural government is culling about 16,500 birds at a farm where ducks tested positive for the H5 bird flu strain in preliminary testing.

The samples will undergo further analysis as officials suspect the virus is likely to be highly pathogenic.

On the same day, the Centre started RT-PCR and RRT-PCR tests and confirmed that the subtype was H5. Outbreak 2 (Niigata): On 28 November 2016, the local veterinary service in Niigata Prefecture received a notification from a domestic hen farm on an increase in the number of dead birds (60 birds on the same day). The samples were sent to the laboratory of local veterinary service (Niigata Livestock Hygiene Service Centre) and the samples from dead birds were confirmed to be influenza A virus positive by antigen-capture kits. On the same day, the Centre started RT-PCR and RRT-PCR tests and confirmed that the subtype was H5. For both outbreaks: Stamping-out policy was applied to the affected farms. Destruction of all the susceptible birds in the affected farms is being implemented. Movement restrictions are imposed on the farms within a radius of 3km of the affected farms. Shipment restrictions are imposed on the farms within a radius of 3-10km of the affected farms. The N-type has not yet been identified.[/TD]

Another outbreak of bird flu suspected in Niigata Prefecture


National Nov. 30, 2016 - NIIGATA

Another outbreak of bird flu is suspected to have been discovered at a Niigata Prefecture farm, the local government said Wednesday, following the recent discovery of avian flu in a separate area in the prefecture.

In the latest case, some 100 chickens died between Tuesday and Wednesday morning at a farm in Joetsu on the Sea of Japan coast, and six of those birds tested positive after preliminary analysis, it said.

The prefectural government is also in the process of culling approximately 310,000 chickens at a poultry farm in Sekikawa after announcing Tuesday that tests have confirmed the presence of the highly virulent H5 strain of virus.

The move signals that Japan may see a spread in the avian influenza, which has also affected ducks on a farm in Aomori Prefecture in northeastern Japan. Some 18,000 ducks there have already been culled.

Farm minister Yuji Yamamoto called for further steps to prevent the bird flu from spreading, saying in a government meeting Wednesday that “the initial response is important.”

The Niigata prefectural government said further tests have been carried out to check whether the chickens on the farm in Joetsu were infected by the highly pathogenic bird flu virus. Some 230,000 chickens are kept on the farm at any one time.

These are the first cases of infection with the virus in domestic poultry since January 2015 when it was detected in Okayama and Saga prefectures.
 
Niigata records another bird flu outbreak; 230,000 chickens culled

december 1 2016

NIIGATA ? An outbreak of bird flu is suspected in a coastal area of Niigata Prefecture, the local government said Wednesday, following the recent discovery of highly pathogenic avian flu in an inland area.

The announcement came as the country is trying to stem the spread of avian influenza, which has also affected ducks on a farm in Aomori Prefecture.
In the latest case in Niigata Prefecture, around 100 chickens died between Tuesday and Wednesday morning at a farm in Joetsu on the Sea of Japan coast, and six of those birds tested positive after preliminary analysis.

Fourth outbreak of avian flu is confirmed in northern Japan

dec 3 2016

AOMORI &#150; An outbreak of highly pathogenic bird flu has been confirmed at another duck farm in the city of Aomori, the prefectural government said Friday. The Aomori Prefectural Government started work to cull all the 4,800 ducks at the farm.


Five ducks were found dead on Friday morning. A simple test was conducted on four of the birds, and all of them tested positive for avian flu.

On Monday, an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian flu was confirmed at a separate duck farm in the city of Aomori.

The two duck farms are 350 meters away from each other and are owned by the same company, which runs four more poultry farms in Aomori Prefecture. The same feed is used at the two affected farms.

Bird flu infections now have been confirmed at four poultry farms in Japan. The other two cases happened at chicken farms in the village of Sekikawa and the city of Joetsu, both in the central prefecture of Niigata.

In the latest case at the Aomori farm, a highly pathogenic H5 flu virus was detected in the dead ducks, as was the case at the three other farms.
 
Bird flu, same type as Korea Niigata ? Sekikawa and Aomori


The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries said on January 1 that the virus detected in Sekigawa village in Niigata prefecture and Aomori city in Korea, is a problem that two highly chicken farms in Niigata prefecture and farms in Aomori city detected a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus. Announced that it was found to be the "H5N6 type" of the same type spreading to birds kept for education and wild birds in Japan. We will further analyze genes and rush to identify the infection route.
Niigata Prefecture continued killing about 540,000 chickens in total at two poultry farms in Sekikawa village and Joetsu city on the same day. Securing equipment and materials was a challenge, but with the arrival of Niigata Prefecture as a result of protective clothing arriving from 7 prefectures, we are aiming for completion of the work until 4th. A veterinarian was dispatched from Ibaraki Prefecture. :tiphat:http://www.kahoku.co.jp/naigainews/201612/2016120101001523.html
 
Avian flu> 24 hour posture Aomori prefecture staff exhaustion

On the 2nd day on the poultry farm of Aomori City, the second highly pathogenic avian influenza was developed. Prefectural officials who are in charge of killing and burying work in the 24 hour posture from the occurrence of the first case are darkening the color of fatigue and impatience.
"We are gathering materials from the people, this time (because it was judged before the genetic test) there is no preparation time," said Koaki Takaya, deputy director of the prefectural agriculture, forestry and fisheries department. The culpability work was added without leaving a gap from the first case in which a total of 339 prefectural officials were mobilized. This time we will introduce 472 people, but we need a material such as bucket and carbon dioxide to work.
The burying work of the first case which was halfway was expected to complete the burial of the feed inside the barn that it wanted to finish within 72 hours, Feng, within two days. Sawdust etc. of used liner piled outside the barn was postponed.
There was a trouble that cranes and disinfection equipment stopped due to power outage due to windstorms from the early morning of the 2nd. Regarding officials in harsh work, the prefectural person in charge seems to be in a state that "I feel a lot of stress while I am working in the cold, day and night."
It is said that the deceased ducks are also buried. The prefecture is struggling to consult and coordinate with the city, with the buried groove already lacking. :tiphat:http://www.kahoku.co.jp/tohokunews/201612/20161203_23032.html
 
<Avian flu> Detection also from snowy owl

Akita prefecture announced on 30th that it detected H5N6 type highly pathogenic avian influenza virus from two Snowy Owls died on 23rd November at Omoriyama Zoo in Akita City. I was conducting a definitive examination at Tottori University.
Two birds were raised in an animal hospital in the same park as three birds whose viruses of the same type were detected by confirmed examination. The garden sent a total of 6 specimens, including one squirrel who had been killed on November 23 in the same hospital and one cranberry crane in the hospital, and is conducting a definitive examination.
