Netherlands - Low Path Bird Flu in Chickens Confirmed - H7N4

Gert van der Hoek

In Memoriam - Editor, Senior Moderator
Press release Ministry of Agriculture:

Low Path H7 bird flu confirmed on a chicken farm in Deurne, Noord Brabant province.

20 other poultryfarms in the 3 km zone will be screened.


Very recently a presentation from Spain was published, showing LP can turn into HP at the same premise.

In Holland we know what can happen with HP H7N7: many millions of chickens culled, 1000+ human infections, 1 death. (2003)

For now it still is LP, let's hope it will stay that way.



Milde variant vogelgriep aangetroffen in Deurne

Persbericht | 16-05-2010

Op een pluimveebedrijf met zo’n 28.000 kippen in Deurne is laagpathogene vogelgriep geconstateerd. Deze milde variant maakt vogels nauwelijks ziek en is niet gevaarlijk voor mensen. Het gaat om een variant van H7, en niet om de voor mensen gevaarlijke H5N1 die vooral in Azië heerst. Het bedrijf wordt voor de zekerheid vandaag geruimd.

Om elk risico te vermijden is een gebied van circa drie kilometer rond het besmette bedrijf ingesteld, waarbinnen per direct maatregelen van kracht worden.

Elk vervoer van pluimvee en levende vogels, broed- en consumptie-eieren, gebruikt strooisel en mest vanuit, naar en binnen het gebied is verboden. Per direct gaat de afschermplicht in. Al het pluimvee moet naar binnen of mag alleen onder een afdak naar buiten.

Het vervoer van zoogdieren (waaronder runderen, varkens, schapen, geiten en paarden) is verboden voor zover deze dieren afkomstig zijn van of naar bedrijven gaan waar pluimvee aanwezig is. Ook het rijden met vervoermiddelen die geschikt zijn voor het vervoer van bovengenoemde dieren, producten of mest is niet toegestaan.

Jaarbeurzen, markten, tentoonstellingen en andere evenementen waarbij pluimvee of andere in gevangenschap levende vogels bijeengebracht worden zijn verboden in dat gebied. Bij commerciële bedrijven wordt de bezoekersregeling van kracht.

Er liggen nog 20 andere pluimveebedrijven in deze zone. Deze bedrijven worden de komende dagen gescreend. Er komt ook onderzoek bij bedrijven die in de afgelopen tijd contact hebben gehad met het besmette pluimveebedrijf.

Commentaar: "niet gevaarlijk voor mensen" moet je ruim zien. Zeer recent werd in Spanje nog eens aangetoond dat laag pathogeen H7N7 binnen hetzelfde bedrijf hoog pathogeen kan worden. En dan is het wel -potentieel - gevaarlijk voor mensen. Dat weten we nog uit 2003, met meer dan 1000 humane besmettingen en 1 dode.

Laten we hopen dat het laag pathogeen blijft.

Geen vogelgriep aangetroffen na aanvullend onderzoek in Deurne

Persbericht | 21-05-2010

De vogelgriep zet zich niet voort. Nadat vorige week op een bedrijf in Deurne vogelgriep werd vastgesteld, zijn alle bedrijven in een straal van 3 kilometer rond dat bedrijf gescreend. Bij geen van de bedrijven is vogelgriep aangetroffen. Minister Gerda Verburg van Landbouw, Natuur en Voedselkwaliteit heeft vanmiddag dan ook besloten de maatregelen te versoepelen. Zo wordt de ophokplicht afgeschaft.

De maatregelen die genomen zijn, golden voor een zone van drie kilometer rond het besmette bedrijf. De Europese regels schrijven minimaal 1 kilometer voor. Vandaar dat nu besloten is dat de maatregelen van vorige week alleen van kracht blijven in een zone van 1 kilometer rond het besmette bedrijf. Dat gaat om 7 bedrijven.

De maatregelen die binnen die zone gelden, worden versoepeld. De ophokplicht wordt afgeschaft. Dit geldt ook voor het vervoersverbod ten aanzien van gebruikt strooisel en zoogdieren, zoals runderen en varkens. Ook de zogenaamde bezoekersregeling is niet langer van kracht. Deze en de verdere versoepelingen staan in de bijgevoegde regeling vermeld.

De versoepeling van de maatregelen gaat in op vrijdag 21 mei, 19.00u.

Re: Netherlands - Low Path Bird Flu in Chickens Confirmed - H7

where did it come from, where will it go ?
will they show us the sequences, what's the Dutch policy here ?
I didn't find anything about the sequences, don't they consider
this important ? What say Osterhaus + Co.

You might peculate that 2003 H7N7 never died and that this
is a descendent ?!? (unlikely, IMO)

It's a bit late this year, 2003 was some months earlier AFAIR,
so weather might clear this


in German:

Deurne , between Venlo and Eindhoven


> offenbar bei Routine-Blutuntersuchungen -

apparantly by routine blood-sampling

so, they have just erology, no sequences.
There is some rection with some H7-antigens. What antigens are they
using in Netherlands ? Presumably the 2003 H7

H7N4

http://www.agriholland.nl/nieuws/artikel.html?id=115147

bird influenza in Deurne concerned the virus type of H7N4 The lower-pathogenic variant bird influenza
which has been last week determined on a bird company in Deurne appeared of the virus type of H7N4.
That has food and authority had been communicated. In 1979, there was a breakout of highpathogenic
bird influenza of the same type in Germany. Furthermore H7N4 the virus was also determined at a
breakout of bird influenza in Australia in 1997.

--------------------------------

unlikely to be related to those, IMO. Flu reassorts.
 
Re: Netherlands - Low Path Bird Flu in Chickens Confirmed - H7N4

present the sequences ... Dutch secrecy
(not that Germany were better)

where did it come from, where will it go
