Comment - It seems that this story is about dead swifts &/or swallows rather than poultry. Salangane are swifts & swallows that make edible nests. - Ro

Professor Trinh Quan Huan said people can still use salagane products with clear origin and expiring date.

Two questions if anyone has the answers:-

1. Is Ninh Thuan Province anywhere on a migratory route out of Eastern China or vice versa?

2. NS1 or other genetics experts. How can the risks of recombination/ reassortment of H5N1 with H7N9 be assessed?

Ministry tells province to declare H5N1 epidemic

In an urgent dispatch issued Thursday, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has requested south central Ninh Thuan province authorities to declare an H5N1 avian flu epidemic and destroy all the infected birds.

H5N1 avian flu has broken out among swallows bred in two centers in Ninh Thuan from March 28 and has developed into an epidemic that can spread to other localities, the dispatch said.

Therefore, the provincial People?s Committee should declare the epidemic, send samples of the dead birds for testing, and pray chemicals to disinfect all affected areas, the ministry said in the dispatch.

The Veterinary Office for Zone 6 also said it has asked the provincial Veterinary Sub-department to seal the entire swallow nests weighing 20 kg at two breeding centers, where more than 5,000 swallows have died since late March and a number of the dead bird samples have been teased positive with H5N1.
