Bird flu one the comeback???

The veterinary authority sent an Immediate Notification dated 8 March to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). The report says that the virus was found on a farm at Fuglebjerg on the island of East on 5 March. The affected population was a breeding farm with 190 mallards and five hens. The suspicion arose on 5 March 2010 due to positive samples taken in connection with the surveillance programme for avian influenza. All the birds have been destroyed. The virus appears to be an H7 sub-type but serology results are pending. The last outbreak of avian flu in Denmark
was in May 2008.

The deaths of 75 starlings which appeared to fall from the sky and crash land on to a driveway in Somerset has mystified the RSPCA animal charity.

The birds were spotted falling onto the entrance of a house in Coxley in Somerset on Sunday 7 March.

Animal welfare officer Alison Sparkes, who was called by police, said: "It was a remarkable sight, I've never seen anything like it."

There is no evidence the birds were ill or poisoned before they hit the ground.

Bird flu has been found in different Village Development Committees (VDCs) of Nawalparasi district. Samples were sent to Britain for laboratory examination after ducks and fowls started dying in Deurali, Deubadi and Tamsariya VDCs in the district a few days ago. The District Livestock Service Office, Nawalparasi said birdflu virus has been found in the samples sent to Britain for tests. It had sent the samples for tests out of suspicion. It is suspected that the poultry disease might have spread as the dead ducks and fowls have been disposed of openly. A large number of poultry at Jhyalbas, Guheri, Beluwa, Dihi and Rumsi have died. Similarly, poultry in the neighbouring Deubadi Tamasariya VDC have also started dying. Chief District Officer of Nawalparasi district, Balkrishna Panthi said a technical team will be dispatched to the affected area for taking preventive measures.

The Bac Ninh provincial People’s Committee on March 14 announced the occurrence of bird flu in Nam Son commune, Bac Ninh city. Previously, the poultry of a farmer family in Da Cau hamlet of this commune died in mass numbers. The provincial animal health department said farmer Dam Thi Chinh raised 400 heads of fowl, which had been vaccinated for four months but died massively on the night of March 11. They first showed signs of sickness on March 10. The veterinary agency inspected the family’s farm on March 12 and concluded that Ms Chinh’s poultry had signs of being infected with avian flu. It later destroyed all the birds and sent two samples of the disease to a central veterinary diagnosis centre for further testing. The agency also had the entire Da Cau hamlet disinfected with lime and cloramin B. The Bac Ninh Animal Health Department has set up two temporary checkpoints at the hamlet, suspended all activities involving poultry in markets within Nam Son commune, vaccinated all the fowl in the commune and is closely monitoring the slaughter of poultry in an effort to prevent the epidemic from spreading.
