National Steering Committee for bird flu announced a virulent H5N1 bird flu virus, appear and spread quickly in the north and central regions, which may cause death. This information caused public panic, especially when its spreading mechanism remains unclear.
Purchasing habits, such slaughter is easily made A/H5N1 flu spreads.
"There can spread because smuggled chicken"
Talking with PV , Hoang Van Nam, Director of Animal Health (MARD) said the new H5N1 virus appears but still attached branches 2.3.2.1 but there are differences with the virus 2.3.2.1 (both groups A, B) to cause disease in Vietnam in 2011. This group of viruses capable of causing bird flu continues to spread in the future is very high.
The Central Veterinary Diagnostic Center adds new virus group appear from May 7 to May 8, spread rapidly and widely throughout all the provinces from the North Central Region. However, this new virus is relatively close to the group A. Therefore, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has asked scientists directly under the rapid implementation of the experiment, testing to see if vaccine avian influenza are being used effectively with team new virus or not to have a plan processing.
According to Nguyen Thanh Son (Deputy Director of Animal Husbandry), the more likely this virus comes from China, spreading from waste chicken smuggled sugar in Vietnam. Mr. Son commented: "Until now, smuggled chickens go to where the virus in poultry go there. This is incalculable dangers for people and animals."
Before this situation, the Market Management Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade) was planned, organized reconnaissance routes for birds smuggled from the border, the recruiter, to the place of consumption. Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Diep Kinh Tan also asked DLP closely examine the same chicken smuggled from China, because of the possibility of spread of chickens is much larger compared to broilers. "New bird flu virus is spreading fast, highly lethal, this is what the Government was worried" Qin deputy said.
Very high risk of transmission to humans
Talking with PV who reported , Duc Trong Nguyen (Deputy Director of Animal Husbandry), said the risk of a new avian influenza virus spread to humans is very high, though no one now confirm 100% it will infect humans.
According to him, not simply to be able to identify the mechanisms spread of the H5N1 virus, especially in the type varieties. In many cases, patients infected with influenza A/H5N1 may be due to multiple infections, which means that the body has with a number of other diseases that decrease the immune system, and then infected with the H5N1 virus should quickly lead to death. In the case of multiple infections, due to our long-standing focus and attributed the cause of death due to bird flu virus should not only plausible "culprit".
"In our country, the people exposed to poultry as a matter of course. Therefore, to hear of new avian influenza viruses are highly toxic, the public is confused, worried. Farmers fear of exposure with poultry likely infected should affect the livestock industry, "Mr Key said. Also according to weight, more notably, the type H5N1 virus has appeared in our country is most similar to the type virus present in China.
Meanwhile, the smuggled birds, especially chickens and chicken waste from China still occur every day, times the number of smuggled poultry on our country up to a few hundred thousand per week should risk epidemics is very high. Moreover, when this virus in Vietnam, it can be combined with other strains produce other varieties, and this process takes place constantly, making it difficult for disease prevention.
As recommended by the Department of Livestock, to prevent possible epidemics, people need to make the process of biosafety at the stages as: Just clean, food, sanitation, industry, veterinary and vaccination vaccine . http://www.xaluan.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=467224
