As of January 22, 2009, WHO has confirmed 141 cases in Indonesia with 115 fatalities as indicated in the last WHO update for Indonesia. http://www.who.int/csr/don/2009_01_22/en/index.html

A breakdown of these confirmed cases by province is presented in this post. http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/sho...2&postcount=95

The announcement above indicates that at least four other people in Indonesia have been locally confirmed with bird flu. All four of these "locally confirmed cases" have died. These deaths would have occurred after Jan 2, the last reported death in a WHO update.

There have been a number suspected cases since Jan 2, but the three listed below died and are likely to be officially confirmed in the future. Perhaps someone else has other suspected individuals that may have died from bird flu.

Explanation how special plastic coated with alu foil was used. So contamination can't be from Ruslan.

A moment, please.

When a corpse is buried - at least not in water itself - some time is needed (few days) to decompose. I wonder whether the decomposition process could also cause inactivation of H5N1.

Further, the liquid portion of decomposed materials need to be filtered by soil bed, before to reach water...

It is possible that h5 may pass natural filtration process through soil and survive to this environment rich for minerals and other chemicals?

Air di Cilendek Tercemar Virus Flu Burung

Jumat, 13 Februari 2009 15:20 Redaksi




TAK hanya unggas di Kelurahan Cilendek Timur Bogor Barat yang positif flu burung. Sumber air di kolam pembuangan RT 02/03 juga positif mengandung virus H5NI. Hal tersebut berdasarkan hasil tes laboratorium Badan Penelitian Veteriner Bogor. Warga sempat panik ketika mengetahui kondisi tersebut. Apalagi sebelumnya jenazah Ruslan, penderita suspect flu burung 29 Desember 2008, dimakamkan di lokasi itu. Jadi, beberapa warga meminta penjelasan Dinas Kesehatan dan Dinas Pertanian Kota Bogor untuk memberikan jaminan keamanan dan kesehatan.
Kemarin, Dinkes dan Distan mengadakan penyuluhan di Majelis Taklim Al Istiqomah RW 04 Kelurahan Cilendek Timur. Hadir dalam kesempatan itu DSO Flu Burung dari Dinas Kesehatan Kota Bogor Dwi Susanto. Dia menjelaskan, pencemaran sumber air itu dipastikan bukan dari makam Ruslan. Sebab, prosedur penanganan jenazah suspect flu burung mengikuti standar WHO. Pertama dibungkus menggunakan plastik khusus antikuman lalu dilapisi aluminium foil. Ditambah pelapis khusus yang terbuat dari seng dan terakhir dimasukkan dalam peti kayu. Empat lapisan tersebut dijamin tidak akan menularkan virus keluar.
Sementara Kasi Kesehatan Hewan dan Produksi Dinas Pertanian Kota Bogor drh A Maolana menuturkan, pencemaran terjadi bukan di kolam penampungan yang biasa digunakan untuk keperluan warga. "Sampel air yang positif diambil dari kolam pembuangan warga. Diduga karena banyak unggas air yang berkeliaran di lokasi tersebut. Sedangkan kolam penampungan air milik warga masih negatif dan relatif aman digunakan sehari - hari," terangnya. Karena itu, Dinas Pertanian mengimbau kepada warga mengkandangkan unggasnya. Terutama unggas air yang diketahui lebih kuat menahan virus dalam tubuh, sehingga tidak mati. Meski terjangkit, itu bisa menjadi pengantar penularan virus.
Dari hasil pemeriksaan Dinas Pertanian, di sekitar lokasi tersebut belum ditemukan unggas mati akibat virus flu burung. Sementara Kepala Dinas Kesehatan Kota Bogor dr Triwanda Elan mengungkapkan, meski telah ada korban suspect flu burung hingga dua orang, pihaknya belum berani mengeluarkan status siaga flu Burung untuk Kota Bogor. "Sekarang kita terus waspada dan masih memonitor semua orang yang sakit dan ada kontak dengan unggas mati," ucapnya saat dihubungi Radar Bogor, tadi malam. Ini karena berdasarkan data, baru dua kecamatan yang terindikasi ada kasus flu burung, yakni Tanahsareal dan Cilendek Barat. Sehingga upaya paling efektif adalah menjaga jangan sampai terjadi penularan terhadap manusia.
Kepala Dinas Pertanian drh Herlien Krisnaningsih mengatakan, saat ini yang harus dilakukan masyarakat adalah meningkatkan kewaspadaan dengan membangkitkan niat hidup bersih, juga melakukan bio security terhadap lingkungan. "Penentuan status siaga dilakukan terhadap korban manusia, sementara unggas kita baru melakukan dengan penanggulangan, salah satunya sosialisasi kepada warga," ujarnya. Sosialisasi ini kian intensif dilakukan di daerah rawan. Ke depan sosialisasi akan menggandeng pelajar dari pramuka dan mahasiswa IPB agar kewaspadaan masyarakat meningkat serta menumbuhkan perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat termasuk cara memperlakukan binatang

Sorry, I did not make myself clear:

"this" strongly indicates etc. means: the special treatment of the body of the victim strongly indicates etc.

At the same time the Indonesian authorities argue that this special treatment would prevent possible spreading of a virus.

Water in Cilendek Tercemar Virus Flu Burung on Friday, February 13 2009 15:20 Redaksi E-mail Cetak PDF NOT ONLY the poultry in the District of Cilendek Timur Bogor Barat that was positive bird flu. The source of water in the disposal pond of RT 02/03 also positive contained the virus H5NI. this Matter was based on results of the test of the laboratory of the Research Body of Veteriner Bogor. The resident could panic when knowing this condition. Moreover beforehand the Ruslan body, the sufferer suspect bird flu on December 29 2008, was buried in the location. So, several residents asked the explanation of the Health and the Service of Pertanian Kota Bogor of the Service to give the security guarantee and the health.

Yesterday, Dinkes and Distan held counselling in the Council of Taklim Al Istiqomah RW 04 Cilendek Timur districts. Be present in the opportunity of DSO Flu Burung from the Kesehatan Service of the City Bogor Dwi Susanto. He explained, pollution of the source of the water was ascertained not from the Ruslan grave. Because, the handling procedure of the body suspect bird flu followed the standard of WHO. Pertama was wrapped used special plastic antikuman then was covered aluminium foil. Increased the special layer that was made from zinc and finally was put in the case of wood. Four layers it was guaranteed will not spread the virus went out.

Now Kasi Kesehatan of the Animal and the Dinas Production of Agriculture of Kota Bogor drh A Maolana said, pollution happened not in the normal reception pond was used for the need of the resident. The "sample" of "positive water was taken from the disposal pond" of the "resident." Expected because of many water poultries that roamed about in this location. Whereas the pond of the water reception belonging to the resident was still negative and relatively safe was used a day - the day, obviously him. Therefore, the Pertanian Service made a plea to the resident mengkandangkan his poultry. Especially the water poultry that was known stronger kept the virus in the body, so as to not die. Although terjangkit, that could become the spread escort of the virus.

From results of the Pertanian Service inspection, around this location was not yet found the poultry died as a result of the bird flu virus. Now Section Head Kesehatan of the Bogor City Dr Triwanda Elan said, although having casualties suspect bird flu as far as two people, his side did not yet dare to dismiss the alert status of bird flu for the Bogor City. "Now we continue to be on the alert and still monitored everyone who was sick and had contact with the poultry died," he said when being contacted the Bogor Radar, last night. This because of being based on the data, just two subdistricts that terindikasi had the case of bird flu, namely Tanahsareal and Cilendek Barat. So as efforts were most effective was to take care to do not the spread happen against humankind.

Pertanian drh Herlien Krisnaningsih Section Head said, at this time that must be carried out by the community was to increase vigilance by generating the intention to the clean life, also did bio security towards the environment. The "determination" of the "alert status was carried out against human casualties, now our poultry just did with the control, one of them the socialisation to the resident," he said.

This socialisation increasingly intensive was carried out in the area of the danger. In the future the socialisation will take the student from the scout and the student IPB so that the community's vigilance increases as well as cultivates the behaviour of the clean and healthy life including the method of treating the animal by the hand

INDONESIA: Steps taken to confront bird flu but danger remains

[This is the first reference I have seen that the Bali patient has been hospitalized. It could be an error]

JAKARTA, 12 February 2009 (IRIN) - Indonesia is making progress in its fight against avian influenza but the danger posed by the H5N1 virus to humans remains high, specialists said.

Last month, the Indonesian Health Ministry announced that two more people had died of the disease, bringing the death toll to 115, the highest in the world.

Investigations indicated that both victims visited wet markets before contracting the disease.

On 8 February, a 20-year-old man on the resort island of Bali was hospitalised for suspected bird flu after dozens of chickens in his village tested positive for the virus. Tests were being carried out to determine whether he had contracted bird flu.

However, Bayu Krisnamurthi, executive director of Indonesia's National Committee for Bird Flu Control and Pandemic Preparedness, said there was no evidence the virus had mutated into a form that could make it easier for humans to be infected.

"Bird flu has now become like other infectious diseases spread by animals. The virus is around us, but there's no clinical evidence that it is any more dangerous than before," Krisnamurthi told IRIN.

Progress

James McGrane, team leader of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization's Influenza Control Programme in Indonesia, said the government had made substantial progress in bringing avian influenza under control, but more needed to be done.


Photo: Brennon Jones/IRIN A specially-trained nurse at the East Java Provincial Hospital, Indonesia needs to work harder to tackle the disease, particularly on Java, where most of the deaths have occurred

"The disease appears to have been contained, with data appearing to indicate that both overall incidence and geographic spread are decreasing, although the disease remains entrenched in some areas," McGrane told IRIN.

"These advances have been made despite the unprecedented challenges presented to avian influenza control given Indonesia's massive and diverse poultry population," he said.

But McGrane said Indonesia needed to work harder to tackle the disease, particularly on Java, where most of the deaths have occurred.

Twelve of Indonesia's 33 provinces have recorded human cases of bird flu while only two provinces have had no avian flu in poultry, the national bird flu committee said.

Chairul Anwar Nidom, a virologist with the Tropical Disease Centre at Airlangga University in Surabaya, said a common policy on bird flu was lacking among government agencies, making controlling the disease more difficult.

"By and large the government has done a good job and people are aware of the danger of bird flu," Nidom said.

But Nidom criticised the government's policy of vaccinating poultry rather than culling, believing that it masks the virus, and ultimately contributes to its mutation.

"There's still no common agreement on this issue among government agencies. The agriculture and farming sector sees the need for vaccinations to save the economy. We are at a crossroads, having to choose between saving poultry and protecting human beings," said Nidom.

Nidom, who first revealed the outbreak of bird flu in Indonesia, said the threat of a pandemic remained high given the unpredictable nature of the H5N1 virus.

"Frankly, we still don't know exactly the virus's pattern of infection and its predispositions. As long as it remains so, it will remain a threat to humans," he said.


Photo: Brennon Jones/IRIN Bird sellers at a market in East Java say they are unconcerned about the risk of avian flu or a pandemic

Krisnamurthi said despite the progress, there was no room for complacency and the government continued its campaign to warn the public about the danger of bird flu.

Last month, the Indonesian National Committee for Bird Flu Control and Pandemic Preparedness, supported by the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), launched workshops on pandemic preparedness in 10 cities across the country, he said.

Since last year Indonesia has adopted a policy of only publicly reporting human infections from time to time rather than as they occur.

In addition, the country has been locked in a dispute with the World Health Organization over sharing virus samples for the past two years. Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari has insisted Indonesia will not share virus samples unless it receives assurances it will be given any vaccine made from the viruses.

Hat Tip to Mike Over at Avian Flu Diary and The Bird Flu Information Corner

Bali Suspect Stated Negative But 4 More Suspect Cases In West Java


# 2792





The Bird Flu Information Corner, a joint project between Kobe University, Japan and and the Institute of Tropical Disease, Airlangga University, Indonesia has two updates on their site today.



The first appears to clear the Bali suspect of having the H5N1 virus, although additional blood tests will be conducted.


The second comes from Metro News TV, and it relays information about 4 people who have come down with fevers after consuming possibly infected poultry in Bekasi, which is about 15 miles east of Jakarta.









The four are being treated at home with Tamiflu, pending medical tests. Apparently, their conditions are not serious at this time.



These are, of course, only suspect cases.



As always, we owe a big debt of thanks to Ida and the team at Bird Flu Information Corner for doing these translations, and posting them for us.
