New type of bird flu virus found in Indonesia

Updated on 10 December 2012

Hundreds of thousands of birds in some regions ducks died from bird flu strain recently discovered in Indonesia.

Director of Animal Health, Ministry of Agriculture, told Radio Australia Pujiatmoko explaining Ministry have detected the presence of a new type derived from bird flu since last September.

Certainty new type of bird flu virus in the world known as Avian Influenza after passing through a series of tests in a laboratory involving researchers.

The Ministry of Agriculture said the bird flu virus newly discovered variant of the H5N1 strain.

"Sub her type 2.3.2 which is a new finding in Indonesia different from AI virus that has been there, of 2.1," said Pujiatmoko.

He continued finding new types of bird flu in Indonesia is expected because of the bird flu virus mutation that still do detailed research.

Another possibility that is due to the introduction of bird flu virus outside of migratory birds such as wild ducks and poultry imports from abroad.

For the prevention of the spread, the Ministry has been instructed to do persiapaan genocide and Local Government advised not maintain ducks unite with other types of birds to the farmers.

"We will also coordinate with the Ministry of Health about the findings of a new type of AI that the findings in humans," said Pujiatmoko.

So far there have been no reports of a new type strain of bird flu in humans in Indonesia.

[This] type of bird flu virus has previously been found in India, Vietnam and China.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian Entrepreneurs Association of Local Poultry has reported more than 300 thousand ducks died last week.

Death ducks recently discovered in four provinces of the island of Java, West Java, Central Java, East Java and Yogyakarta.

"We are asking the Government to stop the import ban breeding ducks and duck mixing seeds with less local and offshore," said Ade Zulkarnaen Businessmen's Association Local Poultry Indonesia.

Researchers Avian Influenza from Airlangga University, Surabaya, CA. Nidom states government needs to do a thorough research related to these new findings, especially related problems that usually survive death duck and Cuma is a carrier of the virus alone.

Indonesia says it has found more virulent bird flu strain

Indonesia says it has found more virulent bird flu strain

Jakarta. Indonesia has identified the bird flu virus that killed hundreds of thousands of ducks in recent weeks as a more virulent type which is new to the country, according to a letter seen Tuesday, AFP reported.
"We found a highly pathogenic avian influenza sub-type H5N1 (virus) with clade 2.3..." the agriculture ministry's veterinary chief Syukur Iwantoro said in the letter obtained by AFP.
"This clade is a new clade found for the first time in Indonesia, that is very different to the avian influenza found before, which is clade 2.1."
A clade is a group of organisms, usually species, with a common ancestor.
A poultry breeders' association had reported the death of more than 300,000 ducks in several provinces on Java island since November to the ministry.
The veterinary office found the H5N1 virus involved was a different clade to that usually found in Indonesia, said Iwantoro's letter to local government offices and the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Iwantoro called for further research into whether there had been a genetic shift in the virus previously found in the country, or whether the new strain originated overseas.

Residents: Beware Latest Bird Flu Mutation

Tuesday, December 11, 2012

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, SURABAYA - The head of the team of doctors handling the bird flu virus from Hospital (Hospital) Dr Soetomo urge residents in East Java (East Java) to be alert to the latest bird flu virus mutation.

Vice Chairman of the doctors handling the bird flu Dr RS. Soetomo, Dr. Laksmi Wulandari says latest bird flu virus mutation that might happen. It was, he explained, because of the uniqueness of the bird flu virus than other flu. "This virus can survive in bird feces up to 35 days in water temperatures from 0 to 30 degrees and the nature of any RNA virus where it is easy to mutate," he said, Tuesday (11/12).

Thus, according to him, only natural that the bird flu virus had disappeared and then came back with a new mutation. In fact, in 2011, a researcher in the area of Sidoarjo bird flu, Dr. Ricardo, had found some sparrow bird flu from dirt studied . This means that the mode of transmission of the virus that mutates this is still happening. Given the findings of the deaths of hundreds of ducks in Central Java and East Java yesterday, it is the natural cycle of the bird flu virus. The findings of a sparrow that had infected it shows that the dynamic mutation of the virus. Fortunately, finding mutations in virus transmission is still in birds.

"The hope is that the findings are still ducks transmission among birds," explained researcher Tropical Diseases Faculty of Medicine, University of Airlangga. However, he also did not dismiss if the mutation of this virus continues to happen then it does not close the possibility of transmission from poultry to humans. To that end, he appealed to the people to keep doing the safety instructions when found suddenly dead birds, especially in large quantities. Among the burning carcasses of poultry and other birds checked, when infected immediately destroyed by burning.

Hospital Dr. Soetomo last treat patients with suspected bird flu in 2010. However, since the emergence of bird flu patient in 2006, at least five patients who indicated positive bird flu. Of the five patients, three of whom died and two of which were successfully treated.

Dr. Alan Hampson Interview On Indonesia?s New Bird Flu Clade

Photo Credit ? FAO

# 6775

On Monday we began to see reports that a previously unseen clade of the H5N1 virus had recently turned up in Indonesia, causing the deaths of tens of thousands of ducks (see Report: Clade 2.3.2 H5N1 Detected In Indonesia) in and around central Java.

Today, Radio Australia has an excellent interview (audio & transcript available) with Dr. Alan Hampson about this recent news.

Dr. Hampson, who is chair of Australia?s Influenza Specialist Group (ISG), is the former Deputy Director of the Australian World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research on Influenza.
​

Dr. Hampson assesses the risks, discusses how the virus may have arrived in Indonesia, and defines the difficulties in controlling H5N1 in that country.

He also warns that the H5N1 strains currently circulating in the Middle East appear to be the ones moving quickest towards `being able to become a human influenza virus.?

Indonesia identifies new strain of bird flu: report

Updated 12 December 2012, 17:36 AEST
The Indonesian Agriculture Ministry has reportedly identified a new, more virulent type of bird flu that's killed hundreds of thousands of ducks in recent weeks.

There are suspicions the virus entered Indonesia from other countries - like Vietnam or Thailand.

To determine this, the agriculture ministry's veterinary chief has reportedly written a letter to local government offices and the World Health Organisation calling for further research into the origins of the virus.

Dr Nidom says not a mutation, but imports

The entry of Avian Influenza Virus Attack Duck For Deliberate
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The entry of the H5N1 bird flu virus that destroyed most recent subclade over 320,000 ducks in Java due to the element of intent. Pretext to gene mutations irrational because it occurred in a short time leap subclade.
Chairman Avian Research Center, Airlangga University Chairil A Nidom said on Saturday (15/12) when contacted in East Java. According to Nidom, if a gene mutation, is not possible in a too short a change subclade.
In Indonesia, said Nidom, three subclade bird flu virus that subclade 2.1.1; 2.1.2 and 2.1.3. "If a gene mutation is most likely to be 2.1.1.1 or 2.1.2.1 subcladenya or 2.1.3.1. Become subclade 2.3.2 If this has happened leaps and highly unlikely," he said.
Therefore, Nidom can ensure that the entry of bird flu virus subclade 2.3.2 due to deliberate. "Could be in the form of imports of duck and duck products are contaminated with the virus, or the inclusion and use of the H5N1 virus vaccination with existing subclade in Indonesia but subclade 2.3.2 contaminated," he explained.

Efforts DG PP and PL In response to News Death Ducks and Bird Flu Virus Mutations In Bird
2012-12-12 01:43:27

Jakarta, December 11, 2012, in connection with the death of ducks and mutation of the bird flu virus in poultry, the Director General of Disease Control and Environmental Health, Prof. dr. Tjandra Yoga Aditama SPP (K), MARS, DTM & H, DTCE, said that a mutation in the influenza virus can indeed occur, and it is always the case in many countries. Moreover, what is now happening is the mutation of the H5N1 bird flu virus into a clade (kind of) new, namely clade 2.3.2. Mutations to clade 2.3.2 now in birds, except in Indonesia also reported to have occurred in Vietnam, Cambodia, Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Japan, Korea and Hong Kong.

So far, there is no man in Indonesia who contracted the bird flu virus H5N1 clade that recently. Transmission clade in humans have been reported in China, Hong Kong and Bangladesh, said Prof. Tjandra.

Efforts that have been made ​​of PP and PL Directorate General, Ministry of Health of Indonesia for vigilance and anticipation among others Make Director General Circular No. PP and PL; PM.01.01/D/II.1/1709/2012, the Department of Health in the area, so be wary if there is a large amount of poultry deaths, prevent and control the possibility of human contact with poultry deaths in large numbers, that if only there was a close contact of human with bird deaths in large numbers, then do the procedure well and check handling logistics, coordination and monitoring and reporting when there have been developments to watch.

In addition, the Director General of PP and PL also have talked about this in a meeting with the officer's urveilans various provinces, and called for increased vigilance / Alertness , on December 9, 2012 meeting. Coordinate with the Ministry of Agriculture as well as with experts and relevant international organizations to monitor developments, as any existing development, scientific materials will always be propagated to the affected areas, said Prof. Tjandra,

Poultry Trade Supervision Prevent Bird Flu
Tuesday, December 18, 2012 - 9:55:46 PM

BOGOR - Bogor Institute of Agriculture poultry expert said the spread of H5N1 bird flu in some parts of Indonesia should be aware, one of the prevention efforts with traffic control and to monitor the poultry trade.

"Control and supervision of trade is very important, this is an effort to prevent the spread of this virus," said IPB Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Prof. Dr. I Wayan drh, Teguh Authority, in Bogor, Tuesday (18/12).

Wayan said the spread of the H5N1 virus or clade 2.3.2 new type very fast and attack in large numbers, so the Government are encouraged to act quickly to prevent its spread.

According to Wayan who is also the Chairman of the Department of Agriculture Animal Health Commission, a new type of the H5N1 virus is the same strain of bird flu had attacked in 2007.

However, the virus that used fingerprint clade 2.1.2.2 virus is now attacking the new type with the clade 2.3.2.

Wayan explained that the origin of these changes occur, according to the nature of the virus Avian influenza (AI) is volatile, without any mutated into a new form.

"The presence of a new clade 2.1.2 to 2.3.2 small possibility of mutation results. According to the observations, it is because there is the introduction of a new virus that comes in," he said.

Furthermore Wayan explained that there are several causes facto introduction of a new virus that occurred may have been taken by migrating waterfowl. Through trading poultry (ducks, chickens and ducks), either in the form of frozen meat, eggs or DOD (dead old duck) duck or dead duck day life.

"This new type, judging from the biological properties of this virus can attack a duck in high enough amounts to 40 percent. While viruses that had only 10 percent of it," he said.

Wayan said it was likely the virus can infect humans as the previous year. Because of the potential is still there.

Therefore, further Wayan government must swiftly so that the virus is not found in humans and spread to all regions.

"The sooner the better, because if it passes from one week it will spread very quickly. Controls trade is very important, because the virus is not visible by naked eye, but it is in the body of poultry. Communities that do not sell duck for fear of being attacked by a virus, but this is where the potential for the spread of the case, "he said.

Wayan added, in addition to trade traffic control necessary to vaccinate poultry against bird but with a different treatment from the treatment of viruses before. "Given the virus is not from mutations but likely the result of the migration of birds and the circulation in the market," he said.

Bird flu alert: Steer clear of the Dead Poultry

DECEMBER 20, 2012

Minister of Health, dr. Nafsiah Mboi, SP.A, MPH asking the public to increase awareness of and attention to correct if there are a lot of dead birds, to stay away. Especially in children with weak immune from touching and holding. If there are children or elderly people who hold and become hot poultry especially cough, immediately report to health officials. Health workers will be brought to the hospital and give tamiflu.

This was stated by Minister of Health, told reporters on Wednesday (19/12) following a bird flu case in the IT (male, 4 years), a resident of Bogor regency. On occasion, the Minister also explained that the new variant of bird flu that clade 2.3.2 in Central Java, East Java and West Java in ducks not only to humans.

Mutation of the bird flu virus occurred from clade 2.1 to 2.3.2. Previously, classified as resistant duck, but clade it is deadly for birds. Incidence of AI in humans, Ministry of Health noted that during 2012 there has been nine positive cases of bird flu in humans and the rest of the sufferer dies. The number is actually far lower than in previous years, namely 55 cases in 2006; 42 cases in 2007; 24 cases in 2008; 21 cases in 2009; 9 cases in 2010 and 12 cases in 2011.

Furthermore Minister said, the current Ministry of Health has distributed a circular letter to the Department of Health in Indonesia related to increased vigilance. If there is a lot more poultry deaths than usual to immediately act upon the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) applies that has been prepared.
"Besides, we also train the Health Officer so that if there is a suspicious incident in the AI ​​center or village, to immediately send to the referral hospital," continued the Minister.

Officials on alert for mutant strain of avian flu

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Archipelago | Fri, December 21 2012

Health authorities in cities across the nation are on the alert after a slew poultry deaths from a new strain of avian influenza.

The West Java Husbandry Agency, for instance, has intensified its supervision of poultry traffic after the deaths of 300,000 ducks in Central Java, East Java and West Java due to the rainy season and the suspected avian flu outbreak.

?We issued a circular on Dec. 10, 2012, to supervise and inspect poultry traffic and distribution, as well as to anticipate the bird flu virus,? Husbandry Agency chief T. Koesmayadi said as quoted by Antara news agency in Bandung, West Java.

?The agency has formed a special team to be on the alert around the clock,? he added.

Koesmayadi said that the agency was currently investigating reports of suspicious poultry deaths in the regencies of Bekasi and Indramayu. Inspectors have taken blood samples from 150 chickens and ducks for analysis, he added.

According to officials, 292 ducks have died in December in Tukdana in Indramayu, 615 ducks have died in Cangkol in Cirebon, Central Java, and more than 1,300 deaths were reported in Pakandangan, East Java.

Koesmayadi told residents and poultry farmers to wash their hands properly and apply appropriate bio-security measures, especially after directly handling poultry.

Meanwhile, the Tulungagung Husbandry Office in East Java has announced on Thursday that lab samples of mucus, blood and feces taken from dead ducks in the regency tested positive for the avian flu virus.

?We have obtained the lab test results from the animal health lab in Malang. It showed that the cause of death for the thousands of ducks in Gondang district and the surrounding areas, including Trenggalek, was due to the bird flu virus,? Tulungagung Husbandry Office head Sujono said.

Sujono said that the bird flu virus has mutated from the H5N1 clade 2.1 to a new strain, identified as H5N1 clade 2.3, that only attacks ducks.

He claimed that the new strain could not be transmitted to humans , echoed Koesmayadi comments for residents to tend to their personal hygiene when handling ducks and to raise bio-security measures to prevent the outbreak from escalating.

The current duck population of Tulungagung has been estimated at 423,000. The H5N1 clade 2.3 virus has been recorded in five of the regency?s 19 districts

The Central Java Health Agency previously received a report of a suspected case of bird flu. The victim, a 54-year-old resident of Sambiroto subdistrict, is currently under treatment at St. Elisabeth Hospital in Semarang, the provincial capital.

Central Java Animal Husbandry Agency reported that more than 62,000 ducks may have died from the H5N1 virus in 21 regencies and cities in the province.

The Central Java Agriculture Agency has distributed 9,300 liters of disinfectant, calling on farmers to report any ducks who have recently died to the agency.

Bird flu has also caused the death of thousands of chickens in Bantul, Yogyakarta, over the past two months. Since 2005, a total of 192 cases of bird flu have been recorded in Indonesia, causing 160 deaths.

Indonesia Stops Import of Processed Poultry Products from China

Thursday, 20 December, 2012

- snip -

Director General of Livestock and Animal Health, Agriculture Ministry, Syukur Irwanto acknowledged that Indonesia imported quite a lot of derivative poultry products for animal feeding.

“We cannot produce on our own yet,” he said.

Imported derivative poultry products are poultry meal (PMM), feather meal, and blood meal.

Syukur said that the ban of imports from China and Australia did not mean no more ducks in Indonesia from those countries. The ban is applied only to prevent new types of avian influenza virus from other countries from entering Indonesia. Imported animal feeding can still be obtained from countries such as New Zealand, the United States, and Canada.

Chairman of Indonesian Animal Feeding Businesses Association, Sudirman, is worried the ban on processed poultry products will increase the price of animal feed by up to 40 percent.

YOGYAKARTA - case of avian influenza viruses (H5N1) that occurred during December 2012 is considered an expert veterinary UGM as a virus belonging baru.Virus found as the cause of death was identified thousands of ducks have different clade (grouping chromosome virus) with the bird flu virus known so far.

"The virus is a new virus subtype H5N1 clade 2.3.2.1 A1, while the virus during this year and we also used to be an epidemic in Indonesia is virus subtype H5N1 clade A1 2.1.Kendati Thus, the new virus is not a mutation of the virus before, "said Professor of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (FKH) drh Widya Asmara, Prof. SU PhD in Yogyakarta yesterday. Widya said, the rate of malignancy, with clade 2.3.2.1 viruses including the virulent virus.

For events in the world, the virus has attacked the poultry farms in Nepal in 2010 and had entered Indonesia in recent years ini. Kemungkinan spread of bird flu virus in Indonesia recently because of two things namely the migration of wild birds from the northern part of the earth to the south and trade ducks from Asian countries to Indonesia.

New strain of avian flu kills thousands of ducks across Java

Slamet Susanto and Arya Dipa, The Jakarta Post, Yogyakarta/Bandung | Archipelago | Thu, December 27 2012

A research and laboratory test conducted by the Veterinary Center (BBVet) Yogyakarta has found that the avian flu that killed thousands of ducks in Yogyakarta, Central Java and East Java was a new strain of the H5N1 virus.

BBVet epidemiologist Putut Djoko Purnomo said that there were suspicions that the new avian flu strain was also attacking other species of birds including thousands of chickens in Yogyakarta.

?There have been reports on sudden chicken deaths, but we are still examining if they were caused by the new virus,? Putut said in Yogyakarta on Wednesday.

The new strain, the expert said, was identified as H5N1 clade 2.3, which reportedly only attacks ducks. It is described as more malignant than H5N1 clade 2.1, which had been killing chickens. The initial attack of this new virus in three provinces was noted in September 2012.

So far, 113,700 ducks have reportedly died because of the virus in the three provinces ? Yogyakarta, Central Java and East Java ? over the last four months. Some 64,000 were in Central Java, 45,000 in East Java and 4,700 in Yogyakarta.

As preventive measures, Putut suggested that farmers used disinfectant, culled infected birds and monitored bird traffic. Fumigation, he said, would not have significant results.

Indonesia, according to Putut, does not yet have the vaccine for the new virus, which was first found in Nepal in 2010 and was later spread by migratory birds to India, China and Japan. It spread throughout Asia and finally reached Indonesia by the end of this year.

The chairman of the Association of Local Poultry Breeders Yogyakarta, Ismartoyo, said most of the dead birds were found along river banks or coastal areas.

The virus outbreak has sharply affected duck farmers in Yogyakarta, especially as concerns have arisen that the eggs they source from Blitar and Kediri in East Java may have been infected.

Separately, the head of the West Java Animal Husbandry Agency, Koesmayadie Tatang Padmadinata said that up to mid December, 2,907 ducks had died after being infected with the new strain of the avian flu.

?The cases in Bekasi and Indramayu were positively caused by the new strain. The case in Subang is still waiting for examination results,? Koesmayadie said in Bandung on Wednesday, adding that the infected ducks in Indramayu had come from Brebes, Central Java.

West Java, he said, was home to some 9 million ducks, 38 million chickens bred for eggs and 87 millions of chickens bred for meat.

In anticipation of the possible spread of the new strain, the animal husbandry office distributed disinfectant all across the province, especially in regions where confirmed cases had been found.

Other precautionary programs included examining the new virus strain at the animal drug examination and certification center. ?We are now testing [to determine] if the old vaccine is also effective against the new virus. We expect to have the results in about six weeks,? he said.

Koesmayadie also said that monitoring of the new virus strain had been conducted by 222 officers of the disease surveillance response division. They are tasked with providing details of virus outbreaks within 24 hours.

The transfer of ducks from regions with confirmed outbreaks of avian flu has been prohibited as a further precaution.

Meanwhile, the manager of the chicken breeding company CV Missouri, Charly Latif, said that he did not worry about the new virus strain, arguing that all the chickens at his company have received complete vaccinations.

?Beside, the virus so far is only attacking ducks, mostly bred by residents,? he said.
