Nidom says duck death case due to the fact the AI ​​virus that surfaced today is an accumulation of duck deaths started late last January 2014. However, due to the lack of virus treatment, the mortality rate of up to thousands of ducks each tail.
"In fact, cases of bird flu occurred in 2009 and still not dead. Then appeared again a new virus that is now attacking the ducks," said Nidom told Reuters on Sunday (9/2).

The key, he added, the slower the AI ​​virus handling the more complex case. But she was not sure exactly what type of AI virus that attacks the ducks in Sragen, whether old or new virus virus. But he guessed, 3,455 ducks died suddenly in Sragen the result of marriage or a combination of old and new viruses virus AI.


If so, he mentions the handling of the virus is much more complicated because the virus is a combination virus. "I was worried if the AI ​​virus is left and uncontrolled handling can harm humans because it jumped into the human body," he said.

Moreover, the media increasingly widespread transmission of AI virus. If only the old type of AI virus spread through the air, while the new AI virus can be transmitted through air and water.
