By Rizan Ahmed

Nineveh, May 26 (AKnews) - In order to prevent the proliferation of bird flu in Nineveh province, the Director General of Health in Mosul, Salahaddin Thanon, banned the import of live birds from 19 countries on Thursday.

Salahaddin Thanon told AKnews that the states are Bangladesh, Bhutan, Laos, Cambodia, China, India, Hong Kong, Myanmar, Egypt, Palestine, Vietnam, Japan, Canada, Germany, Korea, Netherlands, South Africa, Indonesia, and Nepal.

"The decision was based on the recent report issued by the World Animal Health Organization and the report of the Department of Planning and Follow-up in the Ministry of Agriculture about the epidemiological situation of the influenza", Thanon said.

The Federal Health Ministry fears the spread of the disease in remote areas where health care is not as good as in the cities.

Nineveh recorded four cases of bird flu in Nineveh province in 2011. One person died, three others are still under intensive care.

A similar news report from the Voice of Iraq. This report is machine translated below. It contains more detail than the English language report above.

This Sotaliraq article again repeats the claim that the Ministry of Health confirmed one human H5N1 case in January 2011 in Baghdad, despite claims in January that this was a mistaken report (see this link). The fact that this article incorrectly enumerates the cumulative WHO summary of human H5N1 cases in various countries in either 2009 or 2010 does nothing to validate the claim of a human H5N1 infection in Baghdad in January 2011.
