Veterinary science on 13/8 warned that bird flu spreading in the Mekong Delta, after 47,000 quails destroyed because of the H5N1 flu virus.
The remarkable thing is that people are developing quail above the tens of millions, and Vietnam is no vaccine specifically for breeding birds such as quail or birds nest here each new outbreak.
Spread rapidly in men quail
In our interview, Dr. Van register, Head of the Department of Animal Health and Epidemiology Vietnam, said no adequate statistics on quail flock in the Mekong Delta, but only a province of Tien Giang with 1.5 million and the entire herd areas quail may be tens of millions of children.
Since the early 2000s, in the context of the avian flu outbreak, people were raising quail limited because there is no vaccine for the H5N1 bird feed. But recently people have very strong re-Forum for the economic benefits, the difficult stages of production.
For the risk of avian flu spreading from the outbreak of men quail in Cho Gao, Cai Be, Cai Lay and My Tho is the local province of Tien Giang. Dr. Van registration recorded an extraordinary details from the H5N1 flu outbreak on quail in this province:
" By the outbreak on quail but is first detected in quail and then spread to poultry, not from infecting poultry quail. shows that the method we have spread difference , not only on the duck and then spread to poultry from which the quails.
Clearly we have issues of interest, especially for livestock such as economic benefit birds nest, birds nest can not ban that must somehow overcome flu prevention so that people can increase in production. Raising quail is geared towards the people we are up survey data on the size of the amount raised for service or vaccines for livestock. "
Rushing to find solutions
TS Registered Office said the H5N1 avian influenza virus circulating in the old South Branch is likely to spread from poultry to humans. But the bird, pheasant and quail this is H5N1 virus infection 2.3.2.1C branch is branched only recently discovered in poultry in central and northern. Dr. Van Registration continues:
"This arm appeared from 2010 to now and there is no information about the infection to humans. 2012 four cases including two deaths. There are two cases in 2013 in Long An and Dong Thap and have a fatal virus 1.1 branch is the old branch. "
DAH 1 million doses of H5N1 vaccine to encircle the herd outbreak on quail in Tien Giang province to prevent the spread of poultry.
According to Dr. Van register, never in Vietnam bird flu vaccine and vaccines for quail Chinese imports are not indicated for injection quail. Dr. Van subscribe for more:
" Now we are testing the vaccine in China of RE 5, 6 and RE 1 RE is three vaccines can be used with viruses circulating in the southern provinces. therefore the vaccine for vaccination of poultry is all work. Yet for quail, we are testing whether or not the immune response and how to dose properly.
If there are results in the near future we will advise people, if, in addition to raising quail breeding problems biosecurity, regular disinfection, reducing the density, can be immunized to safety for men quail. "
Bird flu raging in Vietnam for more than a decade, has so far killed more than 60 people, tens of millions of poultry destroyed major damage to livestock economy.
The event was first bird flu outbreak on quail birds and spread to poultry in the Mekong River delta causing major concerns in the context of Vietnam is trying to control cross-border diseases such as flu risk Chinese H7N9 and H5N1 deadly bird flu from Cambodia.
