After beforehand three subdistricts were stated alert I bird flu, currently one subdistrict still was determined was found by the similar case. Hundreds of tails of the chicken were forced to be destroyed to avoid the spreading in the scale wider.
The new territory that was stated was on the alert the bird flu actually the Gandusari Subdistrict. Results of the research of local Livestock Breeding of the official of the Service found, at least had 200 chickens the positive citizen terjangkit bird flu. Only his condition not yet until was as serious like that happened in the Subdistrict Suruh, Pule and Durenan.
"Our team localised the spreading of this virus so that increasingly did not spread." Results, as far as this is concerned was satisfactory enough, said the Section Head Livestock Breeding (Disnak) Trenggalek Agus Sudibyo explained.
The spread of the bird flu virus indeed was not yet found to humankind. But remembered the pattern of the spreading of the virus that currently more often spreads in traditional livestock breeding, then the community was asked for have an attitude extra were on the alert. If found had several chickens that died suddenly, then immediately was reported to the handling command post of bird flu that was formed by Disnak Trenggalek. The "monitoring of this bird flu was indeed more complicated because the virus more often spread in livestock breeding (the nonpedigreed chicken) the citizen. Because of that we really needed the co-operation of all the community," continued Agus gave the appeal.
Had a basis the data that was assembled disnak, apart from the Subdistrict Suruh, Pule, Durenan and Gandusari, at this time still were having three subdistricts more that it was identified the danger endemi bird flu. Namely Kampak [sub-district], Kecamatan Karangan and Kecamatan Trenggalek. Although not totalling in Durenan, Suruh and Pule, the discovery several of the citizen's poultries that tertular AI (Avian influenza) made the team of the control of Trenggalek regency bird flu have an attitude continued to be on the alert.
To be learnt, the chicken population in Trenggalek personally at this time reached more than 1 million tails. The population was spread in 14 subdistricts in Trenggalek with the most concentration in the Durenan Subdistrict, Gandusari, Pule, Suruh and Dongko. "So although eradication efforts of this bird flu were more concentrated in the Subdistrict Tell What To Do, Pule and Durenan, the status be careful or alert this bird flu continued to be put into effect by us for all the subdistricts and the village," obviously him increased.
To anticipate so that this deadly virus does not increasingly spread as happening in Kediri and Tulungagung, his side prepared the Rp fund 230 million. The fund as big as that was help from APBD East Java that will be allocated for the procurement of disinfectant, the vaccine for the poultry, the mask, spet to clothes antivirus for the official.
"That was carried out by us in dealing with the plague of this bird flu his characteristics were the first handling. The rest was returned by us to the community to be proaktif.

WHO, Indonesia disagree on bird flu diagnosis
Adisti Sukma Sawitri, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta
Sept 20, 2006
Although the Health Ministry has confirmed two new victims of bird flu under a new World Health Organization (WHO) case definition, it has yet to decide whether to adopt the new standard in the fight against the killer virus.
The head of the ministry's bird flu patient verification team, Santoso Soeroso, said the WHO definition is less restrictive, so that possible cases can be identified earlier.
Based on the new guidelines, patients can be considered possible bird flu victims when they are suffering from acute lower respiratory problems with fever and cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.
The Health Ministry, by contrast, has been using acute upper respiratory illness as the main symptom for declaring people to be suspected victims of the disease.
"It's like catching fish with big-holed nets. We may be able to identify possible cases when patients reach the stage that the flu is incurable," said Santoso, who is also the head of Jakarta's Sulianti Saroso hospital for infectious diseases.
He added that a quick response is important to bird flu patients due to the short effective period of oseltamivir, the only medicine available so far to treat the illness.
Oseltamivir, or Tamiflu, is most effective when patients take it on the first two days after the initial symptoms are detected. The medicine's effectiveness falls by 80 percent after that.
The WHO recently issued its first international case definition for avian flu to create a single standard for all countries across the globe.
The standard is expected to help the WHO do a multinational analysis of the data and classify the H5N1 infections reported by national and international health authorities.
Based on the new case definition, the WHO retroactively added two bird flu victims to Indonesia's case list last week.
The first was a five-year-old child from East Bekasi, West Java. He developed bird flu symptoms on March 5 and died two weeks later.
The second was a 27-year-old man from Solok, West Sumatra, who took care of his sister when she fell ill with bird flu. She died in May. The man survived.
The two retrospectively confirmed cases bring the total in Indonesia to 65. Of these cases, 49 were fatal.
The WHO representative for Indonesia, George Petersen, said that although it was a little late for his agency to promote the international standard, it would help make the global fight against bird flu more effective
"It is important to have one proper definition that every country uses, so we can compare the statistics," he told The Jakarta Post.
However, he said, the new standard would depend on the needs of each nation, and would only prove its effectiveness over time.

'Much more must be done to fight bird flu'
Sept 20, 2006
The UN special envoy for avian influenza, David Nabarro, met last week with senior government officials and discussed the problems fighting the disease in the country. He outlined the issues at hand in an interview with The Jakarta Post's Hera Diani.
Question: What was the core of your discussion with Coordinating Minister for the People's Welfare Aburizal Bakrie?
Answer: This is my fourth visit to Indonesia within a year and I have been working closely with your government to examine ways in which avian influenza in both birds and humans is being tackled. In each visit, I want to find out how the government's response is improving and I've been really very pleasantly satisfied with what I see as a real improvement in the last few weeks, particularly with the way in which the avian influenza is being tackled in poultry.
The discussions with the minister were about the plans for extending this animal health work to other districts, about the government finance, about the compensation payments and how the government is proposing to increase the compensation.
We also talked about the vaccination program for birds and the public information campaign. We agreed to create a detailed plan with an action checklist undertaken by different stakeholders in central government and also at the district level. We will look harder at the resources needed and we will try to make sure that the donor communities respond to the promised increase in government funding with an increase in donor funding as well.
Question: Indonesia's handling of bird flu has been widely criticized. Why do you say you were satisfied?
Answer: Well, first of all the changes that I'm describing have occurred quite recently. Secondly, the challenges faced by Indonesia are very big, and it takes time to put in place some of the planning and early development. And thirdly, I'm satisfied that there has been progress, but at the same time there's a lot to be done, particularly by the agriculture ministry. It is important for somebody in my position to speak out about good progress. At the same time, I must stress that there's a lot more that needs to be done to get good quality animal health services in all 444 districts in this country.
Question: Could you elaborate in which areas improvements should be made?
Answer: The following activities are necessary. First, it is vital that veterinary personnel in each district are looking out for bird flu cases and responding to them. That means the efficient killing of affected birds and those around them, and reliable vaccinations to try to reduce the spread the disease among birds. It also means compensating those who have lost their birds and making sure that the way the birds are cared for reduces the risk of infection in humans.
These are quite difficult activities to introduce, especially because the political system in Indonesia is very decentralized. We need to increase the level of activities at the provincial or district level. And we know that it is difficult work, so from outside we're expressing solidarity with the government and the people of Indonesia.
Question: The National Committee on Bird Flu Control and Pandemic Preparedness recently said it had not received a single cent from donors. What is your comment?
Answer: I think today we were able, in a careful way, to look at the government funding for avian flu and also the way in which the compensation and other activities can be funded. It is clear that there are ways to increase the funding provided by government. I won't go into detail because you have to ask the government about this.
There has also been a lot of funding for Indonesia. It has not all gone exactly where people might be expecting it, and so we have been discussing ways in which the funding will increase. Not as much as we want, but there are perhaps more than US$40 million of additional assistance that is going to be provided in the next few weeks and months.
We've been planning to make more efforts to mobilize even more money from the donors. I need to go to these donors and say "look, Indonesia's program has improved in the last few weeks, so you should put in more because the government is ready to use the money well." It is a continuous process of mobilizing money; you don't do it once and it requires the donors' understanding of what is happening in the country.
The government, on the other hand, has to demonstrate that the money it has is being used well, that there is a need for new money, and it has to have system to spend the money efficiently and without any losses. These things have to be in place to raise cash. You have to have good program and you have to demonstrate it's good, and then the cash will come.
Question: The donors are said to provide funding in the forms of goods and technical assistance instead of money. Is that deliberate?
Answer: The avian influenza problem in here is very complicated. And so one of the first requirements is for technical specialists, both Indonesian and international ones, who can study the nature of the problem, and then understand its severity in order to plan the control strategy.
You can't actively research a strategy without having technical people working on these issues. I'm very pleased that there has been a strong technical focus recently. I see that there is a lot more technical expertise here now than there was some months ago.
Question: Is bird flu here getting worse?
Answer: One of the things that happens when you improve the surveillance of the country is that you also likely to report more avian flu because you're finding more cases. So, at the moment we're certainly have information that tells us that avian flu is quite widespread in more than 290 districts out of 444.
You should not then say that the situation is getting worse. It's probably because now we know more about this situation. So, I can't tell you if the situation is getting better or worse, but I can tell you that it's a serious situation, which is a concern to me and to others.

The Slow Bird Flu diagnosis
Sept 19, 2006
Jakarta -- Director Rumah Sakit Penyakit Infeksi (RSPI) Sulianti Saroso, Santoso Suroso, diagnosing of the bird flu illness was in Indonesia considered to be slow if compared with Vietnam.
In this [that] country, said Santoso, the bird flu patient could be diagnosed in time a day. While Indonesia needed long spare time from that. Moreover the "diagnosis three days then were not yet accurate 100 percent, but just 70 percent him," he explained.
According to Santoso, this happened because of Indonesia did not yet have the implement the accurate test. In fact "if this implement was available, we could press the death rate resulting from bird flu," he said. Moreover, often the illness diagnosis resulting from the virus H5N1 this also was trapped with the other illness resulting from the same sign. As a result, often the patient came in days where their illness already in the serious stage.
In fact, said Santoso, the diagnosis very influential in the handling of the patient. In the city that has been equipped by facilities, he said, this matter possibly will not be too influential because just as the patient it was suspected was affected by bird flu, he will immediately be isolated. However, it is another matter with in the area where not all the patients suspect bird flu was at once isolated like the rule standard him. As a result, said Saroso, often the patient came in the condition to have been serious and big the possibility died resulting from late the handling.
