      Egypt asks WHO for help to combat bird flu


      Egyptian Health Minister Hatem el- Gabali on Saturday met with visiting newly-elected World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Margaret Chan and asked for both technical and financial assistance to Egypt to combat bird flu.

      Egypt needed the international organization's help in case the bird flu mutated into a pandemic disease, Egyptian news agency MENA quoted the ministry's media adviser Abdelrahman Shahin as saying.

      During the meeting, Gabali and Chan discussed efforts to strengthen cooperation and WHO's five-year health development program for the Arab and African regions, the report said.

      Gabali stressed the need to improve African countries' health capabilities, while Chan hailed Egypt and Arab countries for backing her nomination as the organization's director-general.

      Chan, former health chief of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, was elected unopposed as the new WHO chief on Nov. 9 and is expected to take office in January 2007 for a five-year term.

      Egypt found the first bird flu case in dead poultry on Feb. 17, 2006 and then the virus spread to 20 of the country's 26 governorates. So far seven people have died of the fatal virus in the country.

          WHO warns Egypt could see second highest Avian Flu infection levels after Indonesia

          CAIRO: As Egyptians approach the one-year anniversary of the Avian Flu's appearance last February, a recent World Health Organization report predicted the country should expect another hard hit that could lead to infection rates second only to Indonesia this winter and devastation of it poultry industry just as it is starting to recover.

          At an Avian Flu conference Wednesday, Minister of Agriculture (MOA) Amin Abaza said the ministry is preparing to review a plan to sustain the revival of the poultry industry as a prelude to implementation. The government is trying to avoid destroying the industry, which employs about 1.5 million mostly private growers, as it did last year to combat the virus.

          "The live chicken industry must end," Kalyoubia Governor Adly Hussein told conference attendees. "We cannot continue to hold the interests of a sector in society over public health."

          In November Ministry of Health Spokesman Abdel Rahman Shaheen said the government is considering not placing a ban in the near term on private chicken farming as it is concerned the farmers would hide their chickens, as they did last year, concealing possibly infected fowl. The government rounded up as many as 30 million birds last winter from "backyard" farms around the country and placed a ban on domestic breeding that only expired with the beginning of summer.

          Later on in the month, Minister of Finance (MOF) Youssef Boutros Ghali said the government is preparing a new law to eliminate the sale of live poultry by 2010. The law is now being drafted for presentation to Parliament in its current session. Under the proposed legislation, MOF would enter as a partner with private poultry distributors to fund the establishment of MOA-monitored abattoirs. The facilities would then be used to produce chilled or frozen poultry, replacing "backyard" farms and the current practice of selling live poultry through private butchers.

                    <NYT_BYLINE version="1.0" type=" ">By DONALD G. McNEIL Jr.
                    </NYT_BYLINE><NYT_TEXT>Several cases of avian flu have spread from poultry to humans in the Nile Delta, Egyptian health authorities said this week as they worked to end the outbreak among chickens and ducks.

                    A 15-year-old girl died Monday, a day after the death of a woman in her 30s whose family members showed symptoms of infection.

                    Egypt has reported nine confirmed human deaths from H5N1 avian flu since it was first found in birds in February and in a person in March.

                    At that time, health and veterinary authorities canceled a duck-hunting season, banned imports of live birds and forbade city dwellers to raise birds at home.

                    Officials also began culling diseased flocks and vaccinating healthy ones. They ran into early problems like vaccine shortages and widespread disregard for the new regulations by poor rural people who could ill afford to lose birds raised for food and sale.

                    An Egyptian newspaper, The Daily Star, reported that 30 million birds had been slaughtered since then, mostly from the poultry industry, which suffered major losses.

                    Reports of the disease tapered off over the summer, but reappeared in September in the delta, an important stopover for migrating birds. Many move through in December, and even in hot countries the disease peaks in cooler months.

                    The Egyptian Health Ministry offered sketchy details on the deaths.
                    It sometimes takes the World Health Organization several days to confirm cases.

                    Local news media reports suggest that there have been about 20 suspected human cases in northern Egypt.

                    At least three were among 33 members of an extended family that lived in a compound in Hanut in Gharbiya Province. The woman, who died last weekend; her brother; and a niece were said to have fallen ill after slaughtering ducks for a cousin?s wedding.

                    Local reports said the authorities had declared an emergency and were trying to kill all the birds for a quarter-mile around the compound, but were frustrated by residents who hid birds under beds. Slaughtered birds were buried at a cemetery, streets were cleaned, and all 33 family members were tested.

                    As of the latest W.H.O. update on Nov. 29, avian flu had infected 258 people worldwide, killing 154 of them. Indonesia had the most deaths, followed by Vietnam and Thailand. But Indonesia, Egypt and possibly China appear to have the most active outbreaks at the moment.

                      Bird flu claims yet another victim

                      By Deena Douara
                      First Published: December 26, 2006


                      CAIRO: A 15-year-old girl was the ninth victim to die of the H5N1 avian flu virus in Egypt yesterday, following the death of her relative on Sunday.

                      Her brother is still undergoing treatment in a Cairo hospital. The three from Gharbeya province had contracted the disease after slaughtering infected ducks.

                      Many cases of avian flu in Egypt have not led to death. Hassan El-Bushra of the World Health Organization (WHO) explains that while there are a number of interrelated variables, such as health factors and dose of infection, the biggest determinant of death is time of treatment.

                      He explains: "Tamiflu is very strong if it is administered in the first 48 hours. After that it weakens.?

                      He says the problem is that the family denied for a week any contact with sick or dead poultry, as many others do. He says the victims could also harm the doctors and nurses with their denials.

                      El-Bushra insists the Ministry of Health and WHO are not at fault. "We have told them please don't touch infected birds?but still people do it."

                      People do deny having dead or infected poultry because it is the main source of food for many low-income families.


                      The government has overseen the culling of some 30 million birds over the past eight months, and has put into place tough restrictions on poultry keeping. So-called ?backyard birds?, which are chickens or ducks kept in small numbers in low-income homes for extra food or cash, have been outlawed.

                      Last year to cope with the onslaught of the illness, the government established a special committee to combat bird flu. The birds on numerous poultry farms were executed on the grounds that they were infected.

                      The poultry industry suffered major financial losses. A number of its professionals demonstrated, demanding compensation.

                      The government, however, won't change the procedure it adopted last year, according statements in the local press. It will keep in mind that the situation might turn into a pandemic.

                      Domestic poultry remains an issue. Most fatalities in Egypt were the result of direct contact between humans and domestic poultry.

                      Dr. Al Sayyed Al Abbasy, director of the media center at the Ministry of Health, says that international regulations recommend slaughtering all birds within one kilometer of the infected animal(s). The question of compensation still remains unclear.

                      While both Abbasy and El-Bushra blame farmers themselves for not listening to the message and clear instructions, El-Bushra says there will be no change in the strategy. The Ministry is renewing the message however on public radio and will continue giving free tests in the villages.

                      El-Bushra says: "If the ministry does its best, and everyone does their best and the rural person ignores the message, the whole thing will collapse."

                      Eighteen Egyptians have contracted the disease since its detection in Egypt in February.

                            The specter of avian influenza control of the government, Nazif
                            Jan 6, 2007

                            Report: Nasser Fayad: as usual. The Council of Ministers held in a lengthy session held before Eid Al-Adha holiday and spare time to discuss the return of avian flu and fall of three victims from the same family in the previous show for a return to the specter of the disease. The results of the cabinet meeting, but disillusioned by the statement issued after the meeting as recommendations, not decisions, and putting them under the plan the government is seeking to implement them. The recommendations in seven duplicate items, previously issued by the Council of Ministers itself in the same time, but in the past year. The seven items also.

                            Although the report presented by Dr. Hatim al-Jabali, minister of health to the Council headed by Dr. Ahmed Nazif explain the dimensions of infection that occurred in the house of a rural town in Western [Al Gharbiyah] and death cases in which the disease hit. However, he accused people, specifically poor rural families is responsible for the spread of the disease, including government land. He elaborated on that point to the extent that people accused of delaying the reporting and delayed the correct diagnosis of the injury and repeated the same story of the need for caution from education to domestic poultry and the need for health requirements announced by the Zarhalzrah including vaccination of household poultry and the Agriculture Ministry gave as an essential partner in the fight against the disease, and land and the ministry of any neglect or default. But the report Engineer Amin Abaza, and Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, reiterated the plan presented by also on the plan of his ministry for the advancement of the poultry industry, which is essentially aimed at the eradication of avian flu from Egypt.

                            Nazif and receive suggestions on the form of a plan, program or recommendation, issued by the Council of Ministers and included seven axes all distilled for a year and the most prominent. The need to develop the massacres in order to accommodate all poultry production, which up to two million chickens, as the current energy massacres did not exceed 25% of the production capacity in addition to the development of poultry shops to sell poultry refrigerated and frozen in the light of the circulation area.

                            * The development of the sectors forefathers and mothers feeding mothers and whiting, the development of the egg production, development of fodder sectors, providing the funding necessary for the restructuring and development of poultry industry, and training and development labs poultry industry, here to the end of those recommendations that emerged from the latest meeting of the full bench of the government. As we see the results in a talk-specific point which will implement those recommendations.

                            Inquired Dr. Magdi Radi, the spokesman for the Council of Ministers about the presence of a specific strategy of the government to reform the poultry industry or not, he replied: Statistics me prove that the signs of emerging from the crisis already been identified, and therefore plans to combat avian flu make progress and the Guide also says the poultry production ?Fattening? has risen from low rates as appearing first of the crisis early last year to more than 90% of the energy production before the emergence of the disease. Egg production has also increased from 25% to 65%.

                            Continues ?? Radi, he pointed out that emerge from the crisis requires change some behaviors, such as incorrect dealing directly with the birds and slaughter away from the massacres and the government is preparing a bill that prohibits the circulation of live birds gradually, and is currently the top specialist for the preparation of the draft law, which is a big leap in dealing properly with the various qualities of birds. Also being completed a large number of massacres nationwide to increase its production capacity to more than 25% of the current.

                            The spokesman said that the three cases, who died recently from the family is one reason, of course, education and domestic birds away from the health requirements. Also, most of the deaths attributed to the wrong household education, and not from large farms.

                            The reason of death in the last three cases to the late arrival of the wounded to a hospital to receive treatment, because it is known that early treatment and during the first three days of infection raises the percentage of full recovery.

                              BF confirmed in poultry in Zagazig city. Hat-tip to pugmom for finding this article!

                              The governorates besiege the bird flu
                              Jan 5, 2007

                              35 security points by the eastern [Ash Sharqiyah] .. And no commitment with the ban of circulation in the western [Al Gharbiyah] and Suhaj

                              Sharqiya Governorate institutions put 35 security points for the ban of an entrance and the exit of birds from the preservation and that after the appearance of a new focus to the bird flu disease in Zagazig city.

                              And in Gharbiya Governorate that be considered the most damaging governorates from the disease the fighting efforts suffer from the wandering sellers who wander the streets for selling the poultry away from the veterinary supervision.

                              And despite the official bodies efforts in Sohag Governate for the blockade of disease they nested the aviculture over the house roofs and is still the selling shops the exposure of birds in broad daylight.
