The quiet infection of poultries
Good evening,
We are asking ourselves some questions on the other side of the Atlantic about the consequences of vaccinations on the poultries.
A very good article found by Ryback
The Minister for Health, Chow Yat-ngok held up the spectrum of "the quiet infection of poultries", whereas an aviary case of influenza was detected just on the other side of the border between SAR Hong-Kong and China, with Shenzhen.
As we indicated it to you in an article yesterday. A last report/ratio of the Chinese official Agency Xinhua, indicates that the man reached with Shenzhen is in a critical state, but that nobody in his family has for the moment developed similar symptoms. They are in observation.
Mr. Chow, indicated this Wednesday, that the victim, called Jiang, had not had a specific contact with chickens, contrary to what had been indicated, but that it had consumed a chicken brought back from the market of Longgang by his wife. "the risk of infection was not more important than for any citizen of Shenzhen..." T-it indicated.
"We start to think that there is a strong possibility that" a quiet "infection among the poultries is currently in hand in China. Perhaps it transports the virus without showing the symptoms of them. It is what worries us largely... ".
A representative of the town of Shenzhen, indicated that three initial tests carried out on Jiang by a local laboratory, appeared positive with the H5N1.
Tests of confirmation in Beijing are currently awaited.
The World Health Organization (WHO) indicated this Wednesday that these tests have great chances to be confirmed.
The authorities of Hong-Kong detect from now on the travellers systematically coming from Shenzhen by the grounds, in particular via the systematic taking of temperature, and from the medical inspections for the imported poultries of China will be installation.
Mr. Chow indicated that if suspicions are real, this news gives will pose serious problems. "If the human ones come into contact with these quiet carriers, they will be possibly contaminated without we not knowing the origin of this contamination...".
Medical experts indicated that the vaccines injected into the animals could possibly prevent them from falling sick, or to die, but lets the virus develop in them. This problem was already observed in Indonesia, where the H5N1 already killed at least 37 people.
Feng Shaomin, spokesman of the Ministry for the Health of Guangdong, indicated that the authorities had set up the inspection of the poultries entering on its territory.
In Hong-Kong, the hospital authorities increased their program of monitoring whereby the hospitals must bring back all the patients suffering from pneumonia.
At the same time, a team of six members including/understanding of the doctors, the veterinary surgeon and official of the safety food of Hong-Kong, visited Shenzhen this Wednesday and met the authorities in order to discuss this case. After the meeting, the spokesman of the Department of the Health of Hong-Kong indicated that since Jiang was in a critical state at the hospital, it could not provide any more information on his contamination, if as well is as it knows it itself.
In Beijing, the authorities try to calm the fears of the citizens. "It is an individual case and there are no signs of massive contamination in Shenzhen... We ask the citizens to remain calm... "indicated Mao Qunan, the spokesman of the Ministry for Chinese Health.
WHO indicated for its part to follow very close the information provided by Hong-Kong and Beijing, but that China did not have for the moment required assistance.
The H5N1 appeared for the first time in Hong-Kong in 1997 when it had killed six people. Had two million poultries then been cut down?
Thank you Bertrand for this source. source: http://taipeisoir.iw2c.com/ARCHIVES/... _frontiere.php
Note ryback: The communication seems to be reliable.
The information transmitted to the press is relatively worrying. The installation of control of the systematic temperatures of the people is a first (It seems to to me that it is the first time that I read that a country set up this measurement).
Situation out of control?
