Zhejiang Online Hangzhou April 17 hearing (Chief Reporter Tong Chun ) on the current avian influenza situation in our province, 17 afternoon, the Zhejiang Provincial Institute for Communicable Disease Control and Prevention deputy director CHEN En-fu, director of physician accepted including Ben number of media group visit. Carry the virus in poultry larger base CHEN En-fu said yesterday Zhejiang informed patients, these days are increasing every day, indicating that some time ago, especially in early April, the measures we have taken particular, there are still infected personnel control some problems, as the key link, or control of avian influenza control of infection staff. According to Ministry of Agriculture released on the 10th, the National Avian Influenza Reference Laboratory 2099 from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui censorship farms, live bird markets, and environmental samples detected the 14 poultry H7N9 avian influenza etiology positive samples, and isolate the virus. The positive rate of about 0.7%. Look this figure is relatively low, but because of the relatively large base of birds, Zhejiang, particularly in northern Zhejiang Province, at least tens of millions of feather birds. In accordance with the operator of this proportion, the birds carry the virus or more. Therefore, in such a situation, relying solely on personal protection, is not optimistic. Slaughter of live poultry trading market can control the source of infection CHEN En-fu said that Shanghai from the live animal markets are closed on April 6, the epidemic seems to have some control. In this regard, the culling of live poultry, to close the trading market on this matter, our government, farmers have to make a difficult choice. Culling on and off the market, will certainly be a loss, but if you do not culling and to close the transaction, the source of infection is difficult to control. The beginning of this week, the main city of Hangzhou has closed the live poultry market was extended to Xiaoshan, Yuhang. Huzhou is also the case. For infection control staff or effect. Avian influenza to go northward trend of cases of bird flu have been found in one third of the cases, the route of infection is unclear. Warmer weather, higher temperatures, the virus will decline in the vitality of the air, water, and external environment, but the virus did not affect the poultry body. With the Beijing and Henan cases, been found that avian influenza is a northward trend? CHEN En-fu said that as a result of the bird flu virus is caused by migratory birds, poultry virus recombinant, from the path of migratory birds, in March and April, migratory birds moved from the south to the north, migratory birds re-infection to poultry . Another possibility is that the birds of the Yangtze River Delta through the long-distance transport infected poultry in the north. Virus variation is generally not a major outbreak for now, the next step in the prevention and control situation is very grim, if the source of infection continue to exist, or the possibility of proliferation. Since there is currently no cases of human-to-human transmission of the H7N9 avian influenza Council. If there is no virus mutates, by reducing exposure to the culling poultry market disinfection, can be controlled. Pre found in patients with treatment is not timely, the fever did not pay attention, just something for eat. Major hospitals now have a fever outpatient treatment, testing to diagnosis is about one and a half. In this regard, CHEN En-fu also suggested that cases have occurred in the region, need to be careful not to contact with poultry or birds, and enhance personal protection, such as hand-washing, wearing masks. In addition, the elderly high-risk groups, to strengthen their resistance to rest, to enhance nutrition and physical exercise. The best rural backyard poultry culling of backyard poultry in rural areas, it is quite common, CHEN En-fu frankly even monitoring are too late. The same time, the cost of detection than the cost of a chicken to be much higher if each bird to detect, is not realistic. He therefore suggested that raising poultry in rural areas more than the best culling.
