Laos finds first bird flu case since 2004
Wed 17 May 2006 6:06 AM ET

BANGKOK, May 17 (Reuters) - The H5N1 bird flu strain has been found in a duck in Laos, but there is no sign that the virus is spreading, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said on Wednesday.

The isolated case in a backyard farm 20 km (12 miles) south of Vientiane is the first since the Southeast Asian nation reported an outbreak among poultry in early 2004.

"We are doing surveillance and so far everything is negative," Ricarda Mondry, the FAO's chief technical adviser on avian influenza in Laos, told Reuters.

The duck was discovered in February by researchers on a surveillance project in the area. The case was reported recently to the Paris-based World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).

Ducks can be carriers of the disease without showing symptoms.

Only a 2-3 month lag time from the duck being found to it being reported.

You have to love timely reporting.

Re: H5N1 died duck in Laos

From an FAO report - HPAI Situation Update May 10, 2006:

Lao PDR: Government of Lao (02/05/06): From July 2005 up to January 2006 there was no detection of avian influenza. In February 2006, 21 sera samples collected from apparently healthy ducks in the vicinity of Vientiane were positive for H5 in the hemagglutination test. Subsequent virological testing resulted in the isolation of one H5N1 virus. The virus was characterized at the University of Hong Kong, and is most closely related to a duck virus from Fuijan, China (A/DK/Fuijan/1734/05 (H5N1).
