Some 3,500 chickens were slaughtered in four different poultry farms in Pokhara, Kaski, on Wednesday as bird flu (H5N1) virus was detected there. The Regional Directorate of Livestock Services in Pokhara confirmed an outbreak of the avian flu in the poultry farms at Batulechaur, Simpani, Birauta and Sedibagar in Pokhara.
Regional Director Banshi Sharma said the chickens were slaughtered as a test carried out in the Capital-based Central Veterinary Laboratory detected bird flu in those poultry farms. He said some samples of dead chickens were sent to the Capital two weeks ago. Four teams of experts led by six doctors culled the chickens and their feed. The teams culled 828 chickens at Kauseghari, 1,100 in Sarangkot, 110 in Batulechaur and 1,500 in Simpani. The teams asked the poultry farmers not to keep chickens in the farms for two months.
“We held a meeting yesterday (Tuesday) under the chairmanship of the Chief District Officer. After the necessary preparation, the culling has begun from Wednesday,” said Sharma. He said the bird flu has high risk in Pokhara as it is the country’s tourist hub and has many lakes.
The poultry farmers complained that authorities concerned acted irresponsibly and informed them about the flu very late. “The chickens died in numbers from December 31. But, the authorities at that time said there was no any serious disease. They came here yesterday for inspection and started culling from today. Had they informed us on time, we would not have spent thousands of rupees on feed,” said Bhishma Thakuri, a poultry farmer.
Since we were able to isolate viable virus from brain and lung of H7N1 low pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV) infected chickens, we here examined the distribution of different LPAIV strains in chickens by measuring the viral AI RNA load in multiple organs. Subtypes of H5 (H5N1, H5N2), H7 (H7N1, H7N7) and H9 (H9N2), of chicken (H5N2, H7N1, H7N7, H9N2), or mallard (H5N1) origin were tested.
The actual presence of viable virus was evaluated with virus isolation in organs of H7N7 inoculated chickens.FindingsViral RNA was found by PCR in lung, brain, intestine, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, heart, liver, kidney and spleen from chickens infected with chicken isolated LPAIV H5N2, H7N1, H7N7 or H9N2. H7N7 virus could be isolated from lung, ileum, heart, liver, kidney and spleen, but not from brain, which was in agreement with the data from the PCR.
Infection with mallard isolated H5N1 LPAIV resulted in viral RNA detection in lung and peripheral blood mononuclear cells only.
Conclusion: We speculate that chicken isolated LPAI viruses are spreading systemically in chicken, independently of the strain.

The terrifying hemorrhagic fever known as Ebola virus, or one of its relatives, seems to have made its way into Asia, specifically Bangladesh, a new report indicates. The new study, published in the February 2013 issue of the CDC journal Emerging Infectious Diseases and conduced by the EcoHealth Alliance, indicates that bats in Bangladesh could be an animal reservoir for the disease.
There haven't been any reported cases of Ebola in the country, but this means there is potential. Between April 2012 and March 2011, researchers tested several species of bats for antibodies to Ebola-related viruses (evidence the virus had infected the bats and caused an immune reaction).
They found anti-Ebola antibodies in 5 of the 276 bats (3.5 percent) they tested from the region. The antibodies they found were specifically a reaction to Ebola Zaire, the most dangerous of the viral strains. This is the first time they've seen antibodies to Ebola in the area, but it's also the first screen for them.
We don't know if they've always been in the area or if the virus is spreading. What the researchers can say, though, is that this evidence extends the known range of the Zaire Ebola virus to mainland Asia. This could have important consequences for human health, they write. Authorities in Asia should be on the lookout for hemorrhagic fevers that could be Ebola, or related to Ebola.
