Russia confirms H5N1 bird flu strain at poultry farm

Re: Russia confirms H5N1 bird flu strain at poultry farm

The same report, translated by Google:

In the avian influenza outbreak vaccinated 342 people (Kuban)

(...)

http://translate.google.com/transla...&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=/language_tools

I get 'innoculate' or 'vaccinate' or 'immunized' for the Russian word 'привит' [привиты].

Sounds to me like they've actually vaccinated 342 people in the village of Razdolny -- perhaps poultry workers, etc?

Re: Russia confirms H5N1 bird flu strain at poultry farm

There is also the town of Razdolny, which is also in Krasnodar, but to the west, near the Sea of Azov in the Black Sea.

Hmmmm! I'll try to figure out exactly where we're talking about later today if I have the time.

This is almost certainly vaccination for seasonal flu.

H5N1 Re-emerges in Krasnodar
Recombinomics Commentary
September 4, 2007
http://precedings.nature.com/documents/553/version/1
Russia on Tuesday reported its third outbreak this year of the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu after 410 birds died on a poultry farm in the country's south.

Lebyazhye-Chepiginskoye farm, in the same region where the virus was detected in dead domestic birds in January.

Russia's second outbreak of 2007 occurred in February, when several cases in towns around Moscow were traced to the capital's best-known pet market.

The re-emergence of H5N1 in Krasnodar is not a surprise. As noted above, infections in Krasnordar were reported in early 2007 as well as 2006. The 2007 sequences had some similarity with the outbreaks near Moscow, but were distinct. Included in the differences was NA G743A, which was present in the Moscow isolates, as well as multiple 2007 isolates in Egypt in Ghana, but absent in the Krasnodar isolates.

H5N1 has become endemic in the region, as seen in the widespread outbreaks in wild birds in Germany, France, and the Czech Republic, leading to more frequent detections. Wild bird migration from Siberia increases likelihood of more H5N1 infections at this time of the year in Krasnodar. In 2005, H5N1 was reported in the Volga Delta as early as August.

No new bird deaths on Krasnodar territory - Onishchenko

MOSCOW. Sept 6 (Interfax) - There have been no new bird deaths in
the Krasnodar territory and there are no limits on the consumption of
poultry, Federal Consumer Rights and Human Well Being Service Gennady
Onishchenko said on Thursday.

"There are no new outbreaks [of bird flu]. Hence we are not
imposing any limits on the consumption of poultry," he said.

Meanwhile, the bird flu hazard is mounting, he said, referring to
the situation in Europe.

"The autumnal migration of birds is still ahead. It will start in
late September," Onishchenko said.

The bird flu outbreak in the Bryukhovetskaya district of the
Krasnodar territory has been localized, he said.

infections in Russia mentioned, without specifying the past, or
adding specifics.

just trying to defend the chicken economy?

Swan dies of bird flu in southern Russia
10/ 09/ 2007

KRASNODAR, September 10 (RIA Novosti) - Laboratory tests have confirmed that a dead swan found in the Krasnodar Territory was infected with H5 bird flu virus, but not with the N1 strain, a source in the local administration said Monday.

This is the only case of bird flu detected in the territory since 410 chickens died from the virus and 22,000 birds were culled at a local poultry farm in southern Russia.

A regional laboratory identified the lethal H5N1 virus in the dead chickens, and took steps to contain the spread.

The losses from the outbreak are estimated at 20 million rubles ($702,000).
