H5N1 Confirmed in Three Cases of Bird Flu in Czech Republic 2006-04-11 01:27:37 Xinhua The virus H5N1 has been found in three out of the 10 cases of bird flu in the Czech Republic, Josef Duben, spokesman for the State Veterinary Authority said Monday. It has been obvious in four cases that it was the "highly infectious H5," while in another three cases the "virus H5" was detected. Tests are continuing. Duben said that the confirmation of H5N1 had changed nothing in the passed protective measures. All previous cases of bird flu have been detected in South Bohemia and all of them involved swans. Special veterinary measures have been in effect in the affected areas in south Bohemia for two weeks. The towns and villages situated in the zones of strict protection and supervision must make a count of all household poultry breeds and secure containers for the dead birds. Local breeders must not keep poultry in open-air enclosures. A ban has been imposed on the transfer of poultry, eggs and further material, and access to poultry farms has been limited. Steps have been taken to secure disinfection of the people and cars in contact with the farms. The measures are to last at least 21 days. http://en.chinabroadcast.cn/706/2006/04/11/198@75755.htm Edited by Rick - April 10 2006 at 12:26pm |
