After outbreak of the bird flu examination of approximately 60 enterprises in prohibited area - Massenkeulung of more than 200,000 ducks expects costs in six-digit height finally first summary ? AP 11.09.2007 17:31:07 - (live-pr.com) - swan village (AP) after the outbreak of the bird flu was locked in Bavaria on Tuesday the largest mass massentoetung by poultry in Germany.

In the meantime all dead animals are removed and disinfection and clearing up work in course, said the district speaker. The costs of the employment are not to be numbered yet, however in the high six-digit range would lie. The kostenaufteilung is to be clarified in the coming days. In the prohibited area give it about 60 poultry owners, under it also some small existence with ten to 20 animals, said the speaker. To these enterprises apply now the stable obligation, it will observed and there would have for samples to be taken. Results are to be expected however only in some days. In addition the authorities furnished an observation range of approximately ten kilometers and a control zone of approximately 13 kilometers. There poultry enterprises are subject to special monitorings. The goods traffic became closed. In the prohibited area give it however no direct contact contacts as both yards concerned by the bird flu, explained the speaker.

Even sustainable food is a element of a grocery chain.
And as we know ... free range poultry is more in danger through wild birds than
caged poultry, but the circulation of pathogens und dead rates are faster in mass production ...
 
Re: H5N1 in Domestic Ducks in Bavaria

After the outbreak of the bird flu on two yards in the district swan village 400,000 animals stand under observation. On the 60 poultry enterprises in the furnished restricted area in the next days samples are taken, communicated land advice Volker Liedtke. In the restricted area of three kilometers stable obligation does not apply and it may utilizable poultry be transported. Likewise may not leave meat products, feathers/springs and eggs the zone. Offences against these editions are punished with up to 25.000 euro penalty.

actually the danger from poultry-products movement seems larger than
the danger from wild birds.
Hobby-holders are usully at lower risk in these outbreaks.

The biggest danger is to the consumer defrosting the frozen ducks in the kitchen.

didn't you mention low-path earlier in Schwandorf ?

-------------------------
So, they both had contact wich Wachenroth, but in both farms Pfarrkirchen and Dingolfing
they found low-path H5N1 and the ducks are culled because they are afraid it could
mutate into high-path.

Re: H5N1 in Domestic Ducks in Bavaria

2nd new outbreak reported today

Further massculling because of bird flu suspicion in Bavaria


Pfarrkirchen/Dingolfing (AP) in Bavaria must be killed because of two new cases of bird flu suspicion again ten thousands ducks. In the down-Bavarian districts Rottal Inn and Dingolfing Landau were found on two duck fattening enterprises with altogether 67,000 animals referring to bird flu exciters. Also the variant H5N1 dangerous for humans can be excluded however, said Mathias Büttner, epidemic expert at the Bavarian national office for health and food security, the AP.


As the district administration office explained Rottal Inn on Wednesday, the Friedrich Loeffler institute on a mast enterprise with 41.000 ducks proved a H5-Komponente.

The authorities arranged the culling of the ducks for (tomorrow's) Thursday, since it could not be excluded that this H5-Komponente mutates to a dangerous type. The fattening enterprise arrived closed, from there no ducks into the trade, it was said.

A speaker of the district Dingolfing Landau explained, in the there enterprise with 26.000 ducks the culling was not yet arranged. The authorities stressed, the exciter are on both enterprises as “low pathogen” classified. The virus can mutate however to a high-grade disease-causing.

With both enterprises it acts according to data of the consumer protection Ministry around contact contacts to the duck mast in Wachenroth when attaining, where at the end of was already determined August the dangerous H5N1-Erreger.

There 166,000 animals were killed. On two further contact contacts to Wachenroth in the Bavarian district swan village had been determined on weekend the outbreak of the bird flu.

In the largest Keulungsaktion in history the Federal Republic within three days
205,000 ducks were killed.

New culling because of bird flu - nearly 70,000 ducks are killed

Pfarrkirchen/Dingolfing - the bird flu continues to reach into Bavaria ever around itself. After a Masaculling of 205,000 breed ducks few days ago in the district swan village starting from Thursday further 41,000 animals of a yard in the district Rottal Inn are killed. On Friday then 26,000 ducks in the district Dingolfing Landau are probably to be culled.

In investigations of samples of the enterprise in Dietersburg (district Rottal Inn) by the Friedrich L?ffler institute of the federation the Influenzavirus of the Subtypes H5 was found, communicated the district administration office on Wednesday in Pfarrkirchen.

With the exciter concern it a virus, which can mutate to dangerous, hochpathogenen viruses so mentioned. If the animals are exposed to stress for example during the stable change or also a weather reversal, a mutation is possible.

The speaker of the Bavarian consumer protection Ministry, Roland Eichhorn, said, the risk that in the case of the transport of the animals such occurs a change of the bird flu exciter, cannot not be received. ?A further spread of the epidemic may not happen. ?Therefore it the culling of the animal stock is necessary.

In the case of the second enterprise concerned however first still no answer had gone to the culling to the enterprise concerned.

The district administration office in the down-Bavarian Dingolfing wanted to therefore give no closer data the case.

The bird flu had broken out first in August with an enterprise in the Middle Franconian Wachenroth. There 160,000 ducks had been gekeult.

Subsequently, 20 enterprises were examined more exactly, which were located in close business contact after Wachenroth. The H5N1-Virus had been discovered also at subsidiary companies in Nittenau and Bruck (both district Schwandorf).

An enterprise is concerned in Dieter castle in the district rotting aluminum Inn and an enterprise in Simbach in the district Dingolfing Landau. According to medium reports the responsible Department of the Environment already arranged the Keulung that approximately 70,000 animals from the enterprises concerned. In an explanation a speaker of the district confirmed rotting aluminum Inn that in Dieter castle exciters of the type H5 pathogen, however with the classification low were found. Animals from the enterprise concerned did not arrive into the trade. In Dingolfing at present the crisis staff of the district administration office meets.

Re: H5N1 in Domestic Ducks in Bavaria

Landauer new one press of Thursday, 13 September 2007 bird flu: 26,000 ducks are killed Land advice Heinrich Trapp confirms positive test results - neighbour: "no understanding for the measure" of Stefanie drawer. Landau/Dingolfing. In Narnham (municipality Simbach) with a duck mast enterprise a bird flu exciter was found. Therefore on Friday all 26,000 animals are killed. Land advice Heinrich Trapp wants to avoid panic and says: "all measures are moved, so that the bird flu does not continue to spread. The found virus is not only small disease-causing, no ducks into the trade arrived and for the population exists a danger "the owner nothing wrong made. The chief of the veterinary centre, Dr. Petra Brandlmeier, explained with a press conference yesterday, why the animals are slaughtered despite the small infection danger. "the government of Bavaria decided to that clubs, because the found exciter H5 is inclined fast to mutations and can the dangerous H5N1 become. By stress with the animals, like wetterwechsel or transport, he can mutate " ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since two weeks already supervises ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For two weeks the enterprise is observed, because it has business relations with an enterprise in the Upper Palatinate. There in the district swan village took place in the last days the largest Massenkeulung in the history of the Federal Republic with 205,000 animals. Because of the contact 600 ducks from Simbach in Friedrich Loeffler Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut on the island Riems were examined. On Saturday the result was present: With an animal H5 was found. Whether the virus comes from the Upper Palatinate is uncertainly, because the found exciter in Simbach has another trunk. A further trace goes to Lower Saxony. There there is a Brueterei, which supplied an enterprise beside Simbach to Rottal Inn. Also in the neighboring country circle the same virus was found as in Simbach. There already today one gekeult. According to Trapp the enterprise is in Simbach the only one in the district, which stands under suspicion. After the positive test result for the first time the crisis team met with 40 people in the district administration office on Tuesday. They plan the Keulung for the Friday morning and all safety precautions are before seized. For clubs two mobile plantplant plants made of Bavaria and Saxonia are supplied. The employment of Hans-Peter Schmelber from Leiblfing is led. Schmelber of the THW in Straubing was already responsible for clubs in the Upper Palatinate. Specially journeys a troop becomes from Holland with 60 persons. Trapp counts on the fact that additionally 200 auxiliary workers will work on the weekend. To the aids the freiwillige fire-brigade rice brook belongs for example. A half day that clubs to last, assumes Brandlmeier. "it will give, said a zeltstadt beside the enterprise" Trapp. "we must block among other things the yard as well as to showers, WCs and tubs set up" spacious prohibited areas it because of the small infection risk will not give. Elizabeth Fischer, responsibly in the district administration office for public security and order, referred with the press date to the human fate: "the owner cannot do anything for it and stands nevertheless its whole existence on the play" he white not, which costs of clubs to him to come. Brandlmeier spoke of a model company. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Biological gas facility is missing the duck muck ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are the duck stables for two years.

Re: H5N1 in Domestic Ducks in Bavaria

has LP-H5N1 ever mutated to HP-H5N1 or vice versa ?

Being no expert, I thought LP, by continued spread among chickens could in the end mutate into HP by going through a lot of hosts?

Some snips from Dr. Gregers book:

Not only does increased poultry density enable the enhanced spread of bird flu, but Webster’s group considers it a “big factor” in the rise of highly pathogenic viruses in the first place.

The “more hosts in close confinements,” the more easily the virus can mutate into a form capable of infecting humans and eventually spreading throughout the human population.1711 The more animals there are to easily jump between, the more spins the virus may get at the roulette wheel gambling for the pandemic jackpot that may be hidden in the lining of the chickens’ lungs.

Research on the evolution of antibiotic resistance, for example, has shown that “intensive production” can “vastly increase the occurrence of very rare genetic events.”1712 Influenza viruses don’t just need to proliferate; they need to evolve.

When a pathogen passes into a new environment, species, or even host, it may start out with low pathogenicity. But, when it passes from animal to animal, it can learn to become a more proficient killer. 1714 Forget 25 hosts: broiler chicken sheds offer an average of 25,000 captive hosts, and some egg-laying hen sheds 250,000. 1715
