Bird flu virus spreads to Papua

Bird flu virus spreads to Papua
August 8, 2006

Nethy Dharma Somba and Apriadi Gunawan, The Jakarta Post, Jayapura/Medan

The bird flu virus has now reached easternmost Papua after attacking poultry populations in Java and Sumatra in the western section of the country.

About 174 chickens are believed to have died of the H5N1 virus in Mimika regency as of July 11, while 414 others were culled due to suspected infection.

Based on a lab analysis from the Bogor Veterinary Research Center conducted on July 19, three of 37 birds tested were positive for H5N1, an official said Monday.

"Test results showed that three of the chickens contain the H5N1 virus; one of them was from SP3 Timika Jaya and two were from the traditional market," head of the Papua Husbandry Office AR Pintadewa told The Jakarta Post in Jayapura.

According to Pintadewa, officers from the Mimika Husbandry Office received a report from a farmer in Sempan village, Timika, on July 11 that his chickens were sick.

They found 40 birds with H5N1 symptoms at the farm.

Inspections of the traditional market also found many chickens with symptoms of the disease.

"The place was immediately treated with disinfectant and chickens showing clinical symptoms of infection with the virus were culled to prevent an outbreak ..."

He said most vulnerable to the virus were the Indonesian Thai game variety, known locally as ayam Bangkok, that came from outside Timika. "We are still examining where they came from. The virus can be spread by air."

To prevent the spread of the virus to other areas, Pintadewa said the Mimika regent issued a circular banning transportation of chickens out of the regency.

In Medan, North Sumatra, three children from Karo regency admitted to Adam Malik Hospital in Medan after showing bird flu symptoms are believed to have been taken home by their parents.

Hospital director Nur Rasyid said the children were not in their beds when nurses made their afternoon rounds Sunday to administer medicine.

"We don't know where the patients and their families are now. They left without notifying hospital authorities."

Rasyid said the patients' families had requested their release since last Friday, after reports they tested negative for H5N1, but doctors refused because they had yet to receive the official results from the Health Ministry.

He said the medical team wanted to continue to monitor the children's progress and prevent a relapse in their condition.

"Medically, the patients' conditions have improved considerably, but one of them still needs serious attention due to a problem in his lungs."

The two female siblings and an 18-month-old male neighbor come from the same village of Sumbul, Kabanjahe district. They were admitted to the hospital on Aug. 1, after being referred from Kabanjahe Hospital.

Bird flu spreads to six districts in Bantul [earthquake-hit area]

Bird flu spreads to six districts in Bantul
August 09, 2006

Slamet Susanto, The Jakarta Post, Bantul

Bird flu has spread to six of the 17 districts in Bantul regency, according to preliminary tests, says the Bantul Livestock, Marine Resources and Fishery Office.

"The virus started attacking poultry populations well before July 13," said the head of the office, Sumartilah, referring to the day locals first started reporting sick or dead birds.

The six districts are Srandakan, Sanden, Pleret, Bantul, Sedayu and Jetis, Sumartilah said.

The country's bird flu death toll climbed to 44 Tuesday, making it the nation with the highest number of deaths from the virus.

Sumartilah said the majority of the infected chickens were free-range layers.

The tests were done soon after residents reported the sudden deaths of their chickens.

"The dead chickens had dark blue or purple combs, mucus around their beaks, diarrhea and white droppings," Sumartilah said.

She said the rapid spread of the virus might be connected to the wet weather in Bantul, the hardest-hit area in the May 27 earthquake.

The infected birds roamed about freely as their coops were destroyed in the quake, she said.

In order to help curb the spread of the deadly virus, the livestock office has been spraying disinfectant around the affected areas. "The disinfectant is to stop the virus from infecting humans," Sumartilah said.

The test results were reported to the Bantul Health Office, which says it will monitor any developments closely.

Up to 2,000 chickens had died in the six district as of early July. "In the evening our chickens still looked healthy, but in the morning they were all dead," said Darno, a resident of Trirenggo village in Bantul district.

Syamsudin, a resident of Segoroyoso hamlet, said the virus had been spreading fast over the last month. "But reports of dead chickens have steadily increased over the last two weeks."

Syamsudin and the other residents are worried the virus could spread to humans. Two months after the disaster many of them continue to live in semipermanent structures with poor sanitation.

Syamsudin said all dead chickens needed to be immediately buried. "How can we live without fear when we are still living among the ruins of our homes."
