Turkeys in Poland test positive for bird flu in country's first reported domestic case

The Associated Press
Saturday, December 1, 2007

WARSAW, Poland: Two turkeys at a poultry farm in central Poland have tested positive for the H5N1 strain of bird flu, authorities said Saturday. It is the country's first reported case of the deadly virus in domestic livestock.
The outbreak occurred on a turkey farm near the city of Plock, some 100 kilometers (60 miles) northwest of Warsaw, said deputy chief state veterinarian Krzysztof Jazdzewski.
Initial tests indicate the H5N1 strain of the virus, and samples have been sent to the State Veterinary Institute in Pulawy for final confirmation, Jazdzewski added.
Authorities ordered farmers to keep poultry indoors and launched inspections of farms within three kilometers (2 miles) of the outbreak.
Speaking with reporters in Gdansk, Prime Minister Donald Tusk assured Poles there was "no reason to panic."
The H5N1 strain was first detected in Poland in wild swans last year.
The disease has ravaged poultry stocks in Asia, and scientists believe it spread to Europe and to Africa with migratory wild birds.
Though bird flu is difficult for people to catch, it has killed at least 206 people worldwide. Experts believe most victims were probably infected through direct contact with sick birds. In Europe, human cases have been recorded in Turkey and Azerbaijan.

Deadly H5N1 bird flu found on Polish turkey farm

Sat Dec 1, 2007 7:54am EST

WARSAW (Reuters) - The deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu has been found in turkeys at a Polish poultry farm northwest of Warsaw, a district crisis management official said on Saturday.
The cases were found at a farm in the village of Brudzen near the city of Plock, Hilary Januszczyk, a Plock crisis management official, said on television.
"Areas of contamination and danger have been marked off," Januszczyk said. "The area is being constantly monitored by veterinary officials and the police."
The virus has caused more than 200 deaths in humans globally since 2003, according to World Heath Organization data.
Most people who have caught bird flu have had direct or indirect contact with infected fowl but experts fear the constantly mutating virus could change into a form easily transmitted from person to person.
"There is no cause for alarm," Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on television. "I am in touch with the interior and health ministers as well as veterinary officials in charge. This is not the kind of threat we had several years ago."

Deadly H5N1 bird flu found on Polish turkey farm

WARSAW (Reuters) - Three poultry farms northwest of Warsaw were cordoned off after the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu was found in turkeys, officials said on Saturday.

There are plans to cull 4,000 birds. The cases were found at farms around the village of Brudzen near the city of Plock, Poland's chief veterinary officer Ewa Lech said on television.
Lech said the virus was most likely brought to Poland by migrating ducks, geese or swans and an area within a 3-km radius of the outbreak had been cordoned off.
"Areas of contamination and danger have been marked off," said Plock crisis management official Hilary Januszczyk. "The area is being constantly monitored by veterinary officials and the police."
The virus has caused more than 200 deaths in humans globally since 2003, according to World Heath Organization data.
Most people who have caught bird flu have had direct or indirect contact with infected fowl but experts fear the constantly mutating virus could change into a form easily transmitted from person to person.
Poland's efforts to contain the spread of the virus won the approval of the European Commission.
"The Polish authorities notified us in the middle of the night about a strong suspicion of bird flu," European Commission spokeswoman Barbara Helfferich told Reuters.
"We have been in contact with them since then, they are now taking the appropriate measures."
Bird flu was discovered in Poland in early 2006, in wild swans, near the city of Torun.
"There is no cause for alarm," Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on television. "I am in touch with the interior and health ministers as well as veterinary officials in charge. This is not the kind of threat we had several years ago."

Default Re: Bird Flu Found in Turkeys in Poland

Translated by Outtahere More info on the story Niman has posted. I bolded his translations Focal points of bird's flu under plotsk; poultry could hit discover for stores.

In the area of gmina under plotsk two focal points of bird's flu ( Mazovieckie ) Brudzeń it has informed from district group of crisis management in plotsk - Hilary Januszczyk. Polish radio has informed, that third focal point of bird's flu discover under plotsk. Could hit from farms infected for stores near 2000 arts of poultry bird's flu. (It points to 2 farms in the Mazovieckie region where H5N1 has been confirmed according to a local official Hilary Januszczyk. It hints that there may be a 3rd infected farm and I’ve seen that confirmed by TVN, the local CNN as it were. It also says (I believe) that 200 turkeys that have been sent to stores may also be infected.)

It discover certified two bird's focal points of flu in localities – on turkey farms Myśliborzyce (and) Uniejewo. There is most imminent change of virus H5N1. Zones indicated zapowietrzenia (airborne?) and threats. Field is monitored by veterinary services all the time and police it has said - Januszczyk. Poultry could hit for stores. ( This identifies the villages where the farms are located. The imminent change referral doesn’t mean that there have been changes to the virus. It means that this is confirmed as high path H5N1. The areas are under quarantine because of the threat of further contamination, possibly airborn).


(Poultry) from farms infected for stores 2000 arts (tails) of poultry bird's flu near can. It appoint ok. (approximately) 6000 Kg of meat, (stay) from it 1000 kg subjected thermal processing not has informed on press conference main physician of veterinary medicine Ewa Lech -. (Again reiterates the possibility of 2000 infected turkeys being sent to stores already and that of the 6000 kilos of possibly infected meat on the farms 1000 kilos have yet to be heat treated according to the Head of veterinary medicine Ewa Lech

It has hit for three from province - thousand kilogram meat wholesale firm < wholesale > warmińsko-mazurskiego.Sanitary inspection establishes details (particularities) it has said lech -.

It has assured (has provided) main physician of veterinary medicine, that has no threat for people, as then virus is dangerous at poultry for person causing bird's flu, when it subjects mutations. It has checked off (has noted), that epidemic of bird's flu will cause huge economic losses on these two (two) farms. It is on farms 4000 alive birds else, which (who) will be utilized. (Unless I’m missing something this is the usual nothing to see here approach. I believe she’s saying that it hasn’t mutated to a point where it’s dangerous to humans. I heard the same quotes on TVN. She then quickly explains how this will be an economic hardship to the region and that the 4000 birds still on the property will have to be destroyed. TVN reports that will happen Monday.)

Pawlak Focal points of bird's flu under control vice-premier, minister of economy has assured (has provided) Waldemar Pawlak, that services, for braving of threat related with bird's flu zobligowane, proper operations have taken. It has said to saturday in (to) Zabrzu Pawlak, that case is under control and does not have causes for fears. (More of the same deflection)

Mazovian inform to saturday of discovering two (two) bird's focal point of flu in gmina nearly ( ) Brudzeń Płocka. It most imminent change of virus, H5N1. (Repeat of previous info)

There is under control of proper service " it case, operations have been taken. Proper units function, which (who) react to this case " vice-premier has assured (has provided) during press conference -. ( All proper precautions have been taken and there is nothing to worry about.)

From it ", I was informed about that this morning, whole case is under control, does not have causes for fears. All practice and indispensable operations have been taken " it has added - Pawlak, in (to) in commemoration participating Zabrzu Barbórki miners - falling to 4 december holy < holiday >. (More reassurances that everything is under control.)
Police appeal to drivers appeal to drivers by localities police riding way Uniejów and under plotsk about for errands of patrol services ( mazovian ) application < applicable > Myśliborzyce. There two focal points of bird's flu confirm on farms indyczych. (There are patrols in the area of the farms.)
On ways in (to) - Uniejowie and they lead (drive) special patrols car movement (traffic) Myśliborzycach. We appeal to errands of officers about application < applicable > spokesman has said - police mariush płockiej Gierula. (Again about the quarantine patrols. FYI, Poland has the greatest number of traffic fatalities in the EU so these requests for people to be aware of road closures and patrolman are not unusual.)

On ways in closest neighborhood of place, where virus discover imminent for people H5N1, in the area of gmina under plotsk Brudzeń, veterinary services have distributed disinfecting soda maty nasączone. (Not at all sure what disinfecting soda is but apparently it’s what’s used in the EU.)

It appoint zone in radius (ray) 3 kilometers zapowietrzenia and greatest zone of threat. Among others, prohibition of trade has signed disposition with participation of (quota of) bird with participation of (quota of) bird minister of agriculture marek (mark) prohibition of organization of trade introducing Sawicki and from opened headers (tanks) poultry water pojenia director of department of veterinary safety has informed in department wojciech - Wojtyra.

(The immediate quarantine zone is 3 km. All poultry in the area are prohibited from being sold or moved for now. The turkeys will be destroyed on Minday and all the regulations that were applied in 2006 will be enforced this time as well.)

Another update from Outtahere ........A really long story from Poland's largest newspaper. I've cut most of the old info.




Has flu has has come under plotsk
2007-12-01 Gazeta.pl


First of all, it disease of bird -, but not people services of governors pacify. Were you (there)? Send rate or photos on 24 Alert.

Is there bird's flu? It read answers on frequently asked questions. It check, as escape this disease it has prepared special handbill - state inspection sanitary. We heard already 2 weeks ago, that on farm in Uniejewie bird begin sickening told (said) village administrator irena Matusiak. There is neighbor of owner of farm of poultry in Myśliborzycach. They said about it and they suspected, that it blame of pasture.

(snip)

As it inform Michał Boszko, foreman płocki, first informations of to friday bird service veterinary obtained padłych. Samples have been sent for state institute of veterinary medicine in pulavy. About 3 messages has has come to saturday morning everything it indicates it, that it most imminent change of virus H5N1. Crisis group has started (1.5) hours (later) in district inspectorate of veterinary medicine. It has reached ultimate confirmation of virus about 10 (AM) it H5N1.



Infection has come from top from rate from district starosty result Hilarego Januszczyka, (I believe this is indicting it came from above meaning North. These farms are on the Great Central European Plain.) that there was on one farm 3,2 thousand, but on second 1 thousand turkeys. It has fallen (died) on one over 300 (turkeys) arts, on second ok.(approximately) 100. Operation have to be started after afternoon remaining zagazowania. (Starting this afternoon the remaining birds will be gassed/euthanized)

Big Brudzeń and regions it field of gone up risk Jacek Gruszczyński evaluates , district physician of veterinary medicine. Inflows are Vistula (The river that flows through the heart of Poland) nearby and inflows , numerous lakes. It lives a lot water fowl here. So, it is possible to ascertain with big credibility, that there was source of contagion odchody (Migrated/flew in). It is enough, that slowly living bird penetrated even if on moment on field of farm only or they have flown by over it.

Fetching (coming down) was one of first decision of crisis staff mat dezynfekcyjnych. (The 1st thing we did was bring down disinfectants)

(snip)


Meat from under dirtying (getting dirty) in stores? Donald Tusk has concerned for this case on pomerania of prime minister at noon staying. I am informed from morning of cases of bird's flu under plotsk - permanently it answered on questions of journalists. I know, that group has emerged for monitoring situation, does not have causes for panics, does not have threat for human health. Sanitary problem is only some and veterinary. It added prime minister, that it contacted with vice-premier gregory Schetyną and minister of health with ewa Kopacz.

Ewa lech, main physician of veterinary medicine, during press conference in warsaw, it enumerated, that ok. Could hit from farms infected for stores 2 thousand of poultry bird's flu. It ok. 6 Thousand kg of meat, it has not been subjected thermal processing from which 1 thousand kg. At first meat was transported for three with ubojni woj (?). For in maximally Orneta, Then probably, for stores. Has no causes for fears , then virus is dangerous at poultry for person causing bird's flu, when it subjects mutations. Everything there is under our oversight. We check way exactly, meat has stayed that, we establish concrete stores ewa assured lech . (I would have to deconstruct this entire paragraph to fix it. She says the same thing she said in the previous article while adding even more reassurances. Can anyone say Suparski?)


Physicians Joseph Knap inspect farm pacify too, advisor of main sanitary inspector happens of course, virus is suspected about it potentially H5N1, that it is transmitted on person, but it happens in ultra (evtraordinary) conditions only. E.g. in south east asia, where people live on farms directly, they eat rigorous meat. It was case of displacement in no country of european union on person virus until now. It is necessary to remember, that virus disappears beyond organism of bird or during thermal processing.

(snip)




It (He) related, that it participated about 10.30 in ministry of interior in the meeting and administration. It implemented especially appear from several year it type focal point already. And also I desire to remember , that never it has come in europe for displacement of virus on person else until now. meat will enough to use basic principles of sanitation and subject thermal processing meat . (At least they're consistant ) I evaluate situation as crisis in economic categories, it can on growers of poultry reflections and plants processing of meat deal with.




We establish persons, who can be exposed to infection. It is in whole 40 malgozhata calculated - Czerniawska-Ankiersztejn, mazovian provincial sanitary inspector beguile. Among they 21 inhabitants of administrative districts płockiego and 19 of administrative district nidzickiego. It will stuff this last so called łapacze people, who for transport turkey next wyłapywali ubojni. We commute from morning for these all of families 40 persons, in order to evaluate condition of health and inform, that it belongs as most faster report in case of appearance for physician disease malgozhata said - Czerniawska-Ankiersztejn. We found, that it will be no patients, but on chill blowing, we check if infectious departments are prepared on their acceptance. (My best guess is that they’ve identified 40 people and their families to watch for signs of infection and have established contact with the local medicos in case anyone becomes ill.)
Jacek Olejnik, deputy commander police płockiej inform about appointing personal crisis staff too. Control of road traffic is task of his people, security of zone zapowietrzenia and threats. Behave responsibly inhabitant, with apprehension. (I think I have a new favorite phrase. ) It beguile will stuff, that there will be by all the time so it commented Olejnik.




Indemnifications will be marek Sawicki, minister of agriculture, it has banned organization with participation of bird " trade and from opened headers (tanks) poultry water " pojenia. Disposition will be published to monday. It has assured simultaneously Sawicki, that growers of poultry with from Uniejewa and indemnifications will receive Myśliborzyc (compensation). We want, in order to economic results were as least for producers painful too it has has noted. It has referred to cases of bird's groups in romania, germany and great britain. There did not have it on behavior of consumers influence income and tradesmen it commented. It has stated, that has hope, that similar there will be in poland.

(snip)



Appearance would be biggest danger of bird's flu for people in genetic structure of virus mutation unlikely Pandemia, which would allow it on transmitting from person for person. Person can be infected in present moment from animal only . Appearance is credible on way of mutation genetic structures from virus from person for person transmitting change enabling it, but it requires it adverse runaway of circumstance very. In order to animal has come for this unlikely situation person or animal ascertain ( e.g. pig must be infected simultaneously human virus ) and animal. Then, exchange of gene is among two due to distribution on segments on same cell possible viruses parasitizing. New able tribe can emerge in such situation for induction only completely pandemii. Till now one case of passage of virus ascertain from person on person without loss of acrimony. Father in indonesia on bird's flu 25 june 2006 zmarł, from 10 -years old son previously infecting. (I gave up. If I continued there'd be so many faces in this paragraph you wouldn't be able to read it.)

Ordinary flu is tribe of virus of bird's flu unsafest than bird's flu most imminent tribe presently H5N1. The first time, in hong kong in 1997 year ascertain it. However, genuine epidemic of domestic fowl has exploded in 2003 year only. At least world organization of health according to from 2003 year on 228 persons infected 130 virus deceased WHO. So, bird's flu is characterized enough big acrimony, that is factor decreasing risk pandemii. Meantime as statistics show large number of people dies about many after infecting ordinary virus of flu. Majority patient, who will fall on flu, it returns to fortnight to health within one. However, life loses people on result of flu each year 2 million world-wide. That is not main reason of death truth of flu, but complications after taking a stand it. It concerns majority in age patients 65 year over or youngest, but by other weaken than flu of disease. Flu can be too dangerous for infants and small children. In unsuitable case of treatment or patients can in power of age lack serious complication even. (Oy Vey!)

The paragraph is justb the party line on dual infections in swine followed by reassortment to create a pandemic strain. It is nonesense. 1918 didn't involve reassortment, and H5N1 hasn't picked up any human genes. H5N1 just needs to improve transmission, which can be done withn a few minor changes.

The paragraph is spoon fed nonsense for the media, but it is not clear if teh feeder knows it is nonsense.

Turkeys culled after Polish bird flu outbreak

Background


Bird flu
More



(adds denial of Lithuanian import ban)
WARSAW, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Poland's veterinary service has culled 4,200 turkeys following an outbreak of H5N1 bird flu on two poultry farms northwest of Warsaw, officials said on Sunday.
"The turkeys were gassed on Saturday night and the destruction of their carcasses is due to end on Sunday," PAP news agency reported district crisis-management chief Hilary Januszcyzk as saying.
He added that no new cases had been detected so far.
Two turkey farms in the Plock area, some 80 km (50 miles) northwest of Warsaw, were cordoned off after the outbreak was discovered and routine precautions were carried out.
Poland's chief veterinary officer said Lithuania had not banned Polish poultry imports.
"I was told by the head of Lithuania's Food and Veterinary Service, Kazimieras Lukauskas, that no such ban had been introduced," Ewa Lech told PAP news agency.
"They are waiting for a decision from the European Commission and will abide by the principles accepted in the EU."
Earlier, Polish Agriculture Minister Marek Sawicki expressed surprise at reports that Lithuania had banned poultry imports from Poland following Saturday's outbreak.
Poland and Lithuania have been EU members since May 2004.
Sawicki said the poultry-farm owners whose stocks had been destroyed would be compensated at current retail prices.
Migrating ducks, geese or swans most likely brought the bird flu virus to Poland, officials have said. Poland's previous bird flu outbreak was in wild swans in the northern city of Torun in 2006.
According to the World Health Organisation, the virus has caused more than 200 deaths in humans globally since 2003. None have been reported in Poland. (Reporting by Rob Strybel; editing by Elizabeth Piper)

Bird Flu virus found in meat in shops in north Poland



02.12.2007 16:57In the Pomorze region 480 kg of turkey meat has been found to contain the bird flu virus.

Also it has been announced due to the outbreak in Płock, central Poland, that information bulletins will be passed out in schools tomorrow, Monday December 3rd. Local priests have also stepped in to supply information to local residents.

Ongoing research is being carried out it infected areas in farms around the town of Płock. Vehicles passing through the area are also being disinfected.

Anna Obuchowska, spokeswoman for the Sanitary Inspectorate in the Pomorze region, has stated that the meat came from two warehouses, in Żukow and Sierakowice.

The Żukow plant supplied meat to shops in Gdańsk and Gdynia, with the Sierakowice source providing shops in Człuchów, Chojnice, Kościerzyna and Kartuzy.

Obuchowska has said that there is a search for remaining meat in the shops, but it is unlikely that any remains, as the turkey meat was delivered to the shops at the beginning of the previous week.

Shop employees are under surveillance by the Saniitory Inspectorate for their own safety.

Avian flu has the same effects as 'normal' flu, and can be treated with the same anti-viral treatment, including Tamiflu. (What? Fla1)


Specialists have stated that meat preparation at temperatures above 70 degrees Celsius should kill any viruses that were present in the meat before its preparation are safe to eat. (jb)

In stores 770 kg of corrupt (pollute) meat

Sunday, first international sanctions are after discovering bird's flu in poland 2 december ( ) already 09:00. Lithuania has introduced prohibition of import of alive poultry from our country.
