KRASNODAR, September 4 (RIA Novosti) - About 500 chickens in the south Russia's Krasnodar Territory have died of bird flu, a local official said Tuesday. The outbreak was detected at a poultry farm in the town of Razdolny Sunday.
A spokesman for the territorial veterinary service said a regional laboratory has identified the lethal H5N1 virus in the dead birds, and that measures are being taken to contain the spread.

"The decision has been made to destroy 22,000 birds at a farm where chickens died over the weekend," he said.

He did not say how many birds were on the farm in total. Tests are ongoing, and may take up to seven days to produce conclusive results.

A local prosecutor said criminal charges might be pressed against the farm's managers.

The Russian Ministry for Emergency Situations warned last month of a danger of bird flu outbreaks in the Chelyabinsk Region, in the south Urals.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), bird flu has killed 192 people around the world since late 2003.

Indonesia has been the worst hit by human bird flu cases, and has the highest mortality rate from infections with the deadly H5N1 viral strain, at about 80%. The virus has spread rapidly in the country, which has the world's fourth-largest population.

The second hardest-hit country is Vietnam, where 95 human bird flu cases have been registered, with 42 deaths.

All poultry to be culled at farm after bird flu outbreak

15:09 | 26/ 09/ 2007



KRASNODAR, September 26 (RIA Novosti) - About 250,000 birds are to be culled at a poultry farm in south Russia's Krasnodar Territory following an outbreak of bird flu earlier this month, Russia's agriculture watchdog said Wednesday.

A total of 170,600 birds have been slaughtered at the Lebyazh-Chepiginskoye farm and the remaining 77,500 are due to be culled in the near future, Alexander Skorikov, the head of the animal health department at Russia's agriculture watchdog said.

September 5 about 22,000 birds were culled at the farm after a regional laboratory identified the lethal H5N1 virus in dead birds at the farm.

In 2005 1.3 million birds were culled in Russia, in 2006 the figure stood at 1.04 million, but this year the figure had dropped to around 260,000.

Krasnodar Territory is on the route taken by migrating birds in winter and is subject to a higher risk of bird flu as a result, although, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), most of the spread is through poultry and the poultry trade.

Since late 2003, according to the World Health Organization, when the virus first hit Asia, the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu has killed at least 191 people out of 317 known cases.

No human deaths from bird flu have been recorded in Russia.
