At Don again possible outbreak of avian influenza
Specialists advise to vaccinate
Irina losses - 16.10.2008
With the onset of autumn once again the question of the emergence of avian influenza and the repetition of last year's emergency.
Then had to be destroyed as soon as 511 thousand ryabushek poultry ?Guljaj-Borisov?. And then, to the dismay villagers - and all the chickens in the villages, sweet beams and highway Zernogradskogo area and in northern Tselinskogo area. Everywhere it was discovered the disease. Regional budget compensate for the losses, but the fear of zarazoy will not delsya, and the virus is not dormant.
- The forecast is unfavorable, the virus will not disappear - said Vladimir Ryzhkov, head of the division of surveillance Rospotrebnadzora to RO. - Therefore continues to work with operational headquarters office of the plenipotentiary representative of the President of Russia in YUFO that said the level at which solved the problem. Now - while we can undertake preventive work - vaccinated against influenza population - workers poultry farms and people who keep the household.
- It does not help the sick?
- The fact is that most likely sick with bird flu - those people whose body weakened by ordinary flu. We expect this year to provide 25% of the population.
- And yet, when once again to wait for the emergence of a dangerous virus? Your predictions?
- If before the emergence of virus linked to the Travel birds, we can not unequivocally assert that the disease manifests itself only in spring or autumn. This can happen at any time of year, because the bird of passage communicates with the home, and do not exclude the possibility of pockets where the disease somewhere in the steppes of the Rostov region.
- A shooting of wild birds is conducted? Identified the disease?
- It is now conducting regular monitoring.
I recall that infection with avian influenza viruses in poultry led to the development of the two main forms of disease. The so-called nizkopatogennaya form commonly causes only slight symptoms (disheveled feathers, reducing the number of delayed eggs) and can remain unrecognized. Highly form a much more dangerous.
It is spreading rapidly in poultry flocks and causes disease, resulting in the death of almost 100% of the cases, often - in 48 hours. But most importantly - epidemiologists fear that the virus mutates and is transmitted from person to person.
