SKorea probes another suspected bird flu outbreak

South Korea has reported a new suspected bird flu outbreak, as officials confirm two more cases of the virus despite a big poultry cull.

The agriculture ministry says experts have travelled to the southern port city of Busan following a report of chickens dying suddenly.

It says two outbreaks reported earlier in North Kyeongsang province have been confirmed as the virulent H5N1 strain of the virus.

More than five million chickens and ducks have been slaughtered since the latest outbreak was reported on April 5.

South Korea reported seven cases of H5N1 infection between November 2006 and March last year, resulting in the temporary suspension of poultry exports to Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and elsewhere.

H5N1 Spread in Eastern South Korea

Recombinomics Commentary 13:30
May 1, 2008

The government said Wednesday that it will temporarily halt the sale of ducks and chickens in traditional open markets to prevent the further spread of bird flu in the country.

A suspected bird flu case has been reported in Busan while two more outbreaks in the southeastern region of South Korea have been confirmed as virulent strains of the avian influenza, the government said Thursday.

The above comments describe the record spread of H5N1 in South Korea, including new outbreaks in the southeast (see satellite map). Over 6 million birds have been culled and the sale of birds at open markets has been suspended.

The outbreaks are likely linked to wild bird migration. Whooper swans have tested positive in Japan this week The affected regions in southern Korea are under a whooper swan flyway from Mongolia. Last season, the H5N1 in South Korea and presumably Japan, were closely related to clade 2.2 H5N1 from a summer of 2006 outbreak at the largest lake in Mongolia, Uvs Lake. The clade 2.2.3 strain linked to Uvs Lake has also spread throughout Europe and the Middle East.

Japan has recently announced the activation of a pre-pandemic vaccine plan that begins with first responders and may include 10-20 million citizens. Similarly, the United States has ordered up to 38.5 million doses of a vaccine targeting clade 2.2 isolate from a bar-headed goose. Clade 2.2 is linked to migratory birds and reported in over 50 countries west of China, including those in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

Whooper Swans have been known to inhabit the outer Aleutian Islands of Attu, Atka, Amchitka, Kanaga, & St. Paul in the late fall, winter, and early spring.

In late May and June, these islands act as magnets for Asian species that make their first North American appearance on the islands.

Highly pathogenic bird flu strain killed chickens in Daegu: quarantine service

혻 혻 DAEGU, May 3 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's quarantine service said Saturday that a highly pathogenic strain of the bird flu virus was responsible for the sudden death of chickens at a private home in Daegu.

혻 혻 The National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service (NVRQS) said the H5N1 strain of the bird flu killed the five birds at the private home in the industrial city 302 kilometers southeast of Seoul.

혻혻 It said to prevent further spreading of the avian influenza, 260 chickens raised in three small-scale farms within a three kilometer radius of the home have been culled and buried.

혻혻 Quarantine officials said the five chickens were purchased at a local open air market and are tracking where the birds came from.

혻혻 Earlier in the week, the government said it would ban the sale of all poultry sold at traditional markets that are open at regular intervals. The measures were taken after experts said the recent outbreaks in the southeastern Gyeongsang region were caused by people buying birds from such markets, which have largely escaped government oversight owing to their relatively small size.

혻혻 Authorities meanwhile said that decontamination efforts were underway within 10 kilometers of the Daegu home with close observation being carried out on homes and small-time poultry farms within this zone.

혻혻 The government has been catching considerable flak for failing to contain the outbreaks, which have generally been centered around the Jeolla region in southwestern South Korea.

The cases came one day after two new cases were confirmed Thursday in Ulsan, 69 kilometers (43 miles) from Busan and Yeongcheon, 35 kilometers from Daegu, officials said yesterday.
Four chickens died at the Gijang farm in Busan and five chickens died in Suseong District in Daegu this week due to the avian influenza virus. All remaining 370 chickens at the infected sites were slaughtered.
The National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service is conducting more tests to determine if the virus that killed the chickens is the H5N1 strain, which is highly contagious to birds and can infect humans.
Government authorities had confirmed two cases of bird flu in the cities of Ulsan and Yeongcheon, Gyeongsang provinces, that led to culling of about 50,000 poultry within a 3-kilometer-radius of the infected farms.
Authorities also ordered a ban on the movement of about 600,000 fowls within a 10-kilometer-radius of the infected farms.
??We just finished slaughtering chickens at the bird flu-infected farms,?? said a Yeongcheon county official, declining to be named. ??We are very busy trying to stop the spread of bird flu outbreak in our region.??
The most recent confirmed outbreaks mean the bird flu that started at a Gimje farm in southwestern Korea at the beginning of April is now spreading southeast.
Since the first confirmed case of the H5N1 strain of avian influenza was found at a Gimje farm in North Jeolla in early April, 31 confirmed cases have been found in Jeolla, Gyeonggi, Chungcheong, and Gyeongsang provinces, prompting the slaughter of more than 6.4 million chickens and ducks. That exceeds the culling of 5 million poultry in the 2003 bird flu outbreak.
