Though Health Minister Mafsiah Mboi determine if up to now, no human bird flu virus infected a new variant, but people are asked to remain vigilant because the H5N1 virus and its derivatives still remains a threat to humans.

In recent weeks, the H5N1 virus is no longer attacking the chicken, but duck into a new target, but at least 11 districts have been a bumpy Sentra duck breeding ducks must have lost thousands because of sudden unexpected death has attacked a new variant of the bird flu virus.

However, Menkes recalled a society to not panic, even though we should remain vigilant because it is not known whether the virus has mutated to a human or not.

Applicability of the bird flu virus mutates into a human body might remain a threat, let alone already many dead birds and simultaneously sharply in recent weeks this. In addition to the destruction done duck and bird flu vaccine, estimation of funds from the state budget through organized emergency response mechanism through legislation draws important.

Estimates of the emergency response is not only the case for natural disasters, but also important to restrict the spread of disease, outbreaks of disease and municipalities could happen at any time, as the previous duck flu also attack poultry.

Natural dynamics of the virus in the human environment and the animals who live together continue. Members inevitably Indonesia should continue to do a complete phylogenetic analysis of viruses continue circulating various variants.

Therefore, a very urgent need for the government with sufficient funds to conduct surveillance as a result sustained a broad informed through bilateral organizations or international interest of better management control on the spread of the virus and thus evolution.

H5N1 bird flu virus variant appears very violent 2.3.2 for ducks. Eleven provinces reported by infected within six months since the case of mass deaths of ducks in Brebes regency, Central Java, September 2012.

Members of the University of Airlangga Surabaya Biomolekuler Dr DRH CA Nidom MS to ANTARA in Surabaya (26/12) asserts that Tim Bird Flu Researchers Airlangga University (Unair) Surabaya find Bird Flu antiviral vaccines for animals, including ducks, chickens, and other birds.

"The government should not underestimate the duck, duck keberbahayaan due to high levels of bird flu virus due to the spread of water in the mass media," said Head of the Centre for Research in the Unair Bird Flu.

Now, the question is all of us, whether visitation was mainly a further episode of previous bird flu crisis, or as a new episode of a new virus which requires all parties, especially the competent authority from central to regional to more responsive and sipag in addressing and overcoming flu birds.

Variant of the bird flu virus with 2.3.2 which can be found in Indonesia as well viral gene regulation over intra or inter variant or diintroduksi from outside Indonesia through import live poultry or wild bird migration.

To inhibit the spread of the bird flu virus currently threatening duck populations, the number of the stricken area was already doing many of anticipation, one of which injects the H5N1 vaccine into a duck.

In fact, in Malang Regency H5N1 vaccine allocation Sentra Sentra-duck farming, such as ferns District, Singosari, Pakisaji, and the Occupation of 100 thousand more.

It's just, it's duck flu penganggulangan it enough just to inject the vaccine without any further action and kongkret from the government that the virus has not spread widely and mutate into a human body? Certainly not enough.

Continuous efforts and synergistically with various stakeholders, municipalities and ranchers would be done, as well there should be special budget memnag handling diseases, including bird flu that could disappear and reappear now late duck.
