But the technology has proven unpopular with state agencies and Mr Sombat is still searching to find out why
The battle against bird flu - new tactics, effective strategy
Officials in Suphan Buri are confident of containing any future bird flu outbreaks thanks to an ingenious computer programme Bangkok Post backgrounder Since bird flu was first confirmed in Suphan Buri three years ago, measures to combat the deadly virus have included culling about 60 million fowls and stockpiling millions of doses of influenza vaccine. But Suphan Buri livestock officials are now concentrating their efforts on the use of a Geographic Information System (GIS), which gives them instant access to geographically collated data. And with the country now in the peak season for bird flu, they are confident they can handle a fresh outbreak far more effectively than before, and with just a few clicks on their computers. "If this system had been in use here before the first outbreak, we would have been able to contain the disease much faster and better," said Wannee Santanmanas, chief of the provincial livestock office. Suphan Buri was one of the first provinces where bird flu was found in November 2003, making the province a "culprit" in the subsequent spread of the virus. "I believe Suphan Buri's bird flu surveillance and response system is one of the best in the country now," said Dr Wannee. "The GIS helps us assess the scale of damage and come up with the best plan to combat the virus." The GIS is a computer programme capable of integrating, storing, analysing, sharing, and displaying geographically-referenced information in a map format. The same technology can be used in various fields of work, such as resource and asset management, and urban and healthcare planning. It enables officials to pinpoint disaster-hit areas and respond appropriately. The core part of the system is the database, which is stored in "layers". By combining layers, users get differing displays of data to assist their decision making. Livestock officials Kwanchai Netnoi and Chatchai Wongsa are in charge of updating the bird flu-related data. This includes details of bird flu-hit farms, changes in the fowl population, the location of poultry farms and the owner's name, and details of each outbreak in each district. Although they have had to work harder since the GIS was installed, when the province was struck by the third round of bird flu in July 2005 they had reason to be proud of their work. "We have to update the information every day and learn how to use this complicated programme," said Mr Chatchai. "It's a tough job, but we are glad that our work helps strengthen bird flu surveillance and control operations." When the livestock office is alerted to unusual deaths of fowls, the "GIS guys" immediately create a GIS map with details of farm locations and history of past outbreaks in the area. The provincial livestock chief will evaluate the situation based on the GIS information and dispatch a bird flu surveillance unit to investigate and disinfect the farms and nearby areas. If the infection is confirmed, the GIS system can display the position of all farms in the five-kilometre radius where all poultry will be culled and a 10-kilometre zone where poultry movements will be banned. "We are no longer clumsily plotting out the working area on a 1:4,000 topographic map," said Dr Wannee. "With the GIS high-resolution map and the integrated data we can identify the infected area and set up a surveillance zone rapidly and precisely." The system also helps with the planning of a bird flu prevention scheme, focusing on high-risk areas. "Instead of blanketing the entire province, we now know where to focus our work. This helps us save money and manpower," said Dr Wannee. Suphan Buri livestock office's GIS system is more advanced than in other provinces mainly because of the strong support it has received from provincial governor Somsak Pureesrisak. And the use of the GIS system in the province is not limited to bird flu. Suphan Buri's education statistics and health records, details of natural disaster-prone areas, land use and forest cover are also in the database. "A picture is worth a thousand words, but a map is worth a thousand reports," said Ueamduang Uthaikul, chief of Suphan Buri's GIS Operation Unit. "That's why we invest so much of our budget and manpower on the system." Last year the province spent almost 70 million baht on information technology, including the establishment of the GIS Centre at the provincial hall. "Considering the budget saving resulting from proper policy making and implementation, it's worth the investment," Ms Ueamduang said. Sombat Yumuang, chief of the Geo-Informatics Centre for Thailand, providing data and training for government agencies and private clients, said what really makes the GIS so useful is not the advanced computer software and hardware, but the reliable and updated information. A good GIS database, however, is not enough to guarantee that users will come up with a sound policy. "Smart policy makers who can make the right decision using the GIS material are the most important factor," said Mr Sombat. The agency has held several GIS training courses for officials from various agencies, including livestock officials from 10 pilot provinces, where the bird flu GIS systems were installed. It produced samples of GIS material to show how this "little helper" can help state officials tackle national problems, such as the southern violence, education planning, disaster warning and emergency response. But the technology has proven unpopular with state agencies and Mr Sombat is still searching to find out why. Maybe it was because most state agencies had poor information management and collection system, he said. It was almost impossible to set up a GIS system from a poor database. "Or maybe it's simply because state officials prefer not to see things too clearly because then they will have to work harder. That's why they always come up with vague policies," he said

Faulty Towers ...........................
The transfers of hundreds of Finnish tourists have begun from a hotel in Phuket to other accommodation, following an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease in the popular beach resort hotel. Two Finns, one Norwegian, and two Swedish tourists have fallen ill with pneumonia caused by Legionella bacteria, after having stayed at the Phuket Grand Tropicana Hotel in Patong Beach, Phuket. All had been resident at the hotel in the period since November 20th. Legionnaires' disease does not necessarily cause any symptoms at all, while for patients in poor health the disease can be life-threatening. The National Public Health Institute has recommended the Finnish travel operator Aurinkomatkat should transfer all its clients from the hotel as soon as possible. The hotel must not be used until the water and air-conditioning systems have been cleaned and appropriate certifications on the completion of the measures have been received. The National Public Health Institute is urging all persons who have been resident in the hotel since November 20th and have fallen ill with fever of more than 38°C either during the trip or within 14 days after leaving the hotel to go to the doctor as soon as possible. However, if the symptoms have already disappeared, there is no need to seek medical care.
Pneumonia caused by Legionella bacterium can be fatal for the elderly with heart and lung conditions, says epidemiologist Tran Minh Nhu Nguyen from the National Public Health Institute. The Grand Tropicana has a constant quota of 125 rooms for Finnish travellers, and currently, more than 300 tourists are being acccommodated at the hotel, reports Tom Selänniemi of Aurinkomatkat. Other accommodation has already been found for part of the guests, even though it is not an easy task with the Chinese New Year being celebrated soon. According to Selänniemi, the travel agency has contacted all its customers who might have been at risk of having contracted the disease. Those who are leaving for Phuket soon have been offered alternative destinations, while the customer is also entitled to cancel the entire trip cost-free. Epidemic Hazard - Asia

News threads will be busy ........ The ducks belonged to several farmers and roamed rice fields to feed.
2,000 ducks culled as bird flu discovered in northern Thailand Bangkok- Thailand on Monday confirmed its first bird-flu infections in poultry in six months and culled nearly 2,000 ducks in northern Thailand to halt the spread of the disease. About 100 ducks had died since Wednesday in Phitsanulok province, 340 kilometres north of Bangkok, and testing revealed the birds were infected with the H5N1 bird-flu strain, which can be deadly in people, the Thai Livestock Department said. |

"(AP) Thai Officials Find Bird Flu in Ducks" BANGKOK, Thailand A new outbreak of virulent bird flu was found in ducks in northern Thailand, officials said Monday, the first such case in six months. The outbreak of the H5N1 virus was confirmed by laboratory tests after the deaths of more than 100 ducks were reported in Phitsanulok province, said Manet Runluang, an official at the Public Health Ministry's Department of Communicable Disease Control. "We have found the H5N1 virus in the ducks and we have ordered around 2,100 ducks in the area to be killed," said Nirand Uaebumrungsut, a veterinarian with the Agriculture Ministry's Department of Livestock Development. He added the area has many wild and free-range ducks and the department has been gathering birds from within a three-mile radius of the outbreak to be slaughtered. Thailand's Public Health Ministry ordered the communicable disease control department to increase measures to curb the outbreak and prevent its potential spread to humans, said Health Minister Mongkol Na Songkhla. "Although we have not found a case in many months,... ...we have asked governmental health organizations to help monitor cases of flu, coughs and pneumonia, especially among people who have come into contact with birds," Mongkol said. Health experts advise special caution about flu during winter months, when people are more susceptible to infections. Since it began ravaging Asia's poultry in late 2003, the H5N1 bird flu virus has spread to the Middle East and Africa and killed at least 159 people around the world, according to the World Health Organization. There have been 17 human deaths in Thailand. Most of those killed have been infected by sick birds, but WHO fears the virus could mutate into a form that easily spreads among humans, possibly sparking a pandemic.

Fresh outbreak of bird flu reported in N Thailand
www.chinaview.cn 2007-01-15 17:44:29 BANGKOK, Jan. 15 (Xinhua) -- Fresh outbreak of bird flu was reported in northern Thai province of Phitsanulok, the first in almost six months, provincial livestock department said on Monday. The new outbreak of the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu virus was confirmed by laboratory tests after the deaths of over 100 ducks at a farm in the province, the Bangkok-based news network The Nation reported Monday. The provincial livestock department has ordered a slaughter of over 1,900 ducks at a farm in Phitsanulok on Monday after officials found the outbreak during a routine inspection at the farms in the province, the report said. Methee Ketadisorn, provincial livestock chief, said that his department has put the virus spreading under control and did not find other cases in an area of five-kilometer radius from the farm, which was located in Plaichumpon Tambon (sub-district), Muang district (provincial seat). The fresh outbreak is the first in almost six months, Methee said. He added that it was lucky that they found the virus quickly so that they responded in time. Thailand is among the countries hardest hit by the H5N1 avian influenza virus, recording 17 human fatalities out of 25 infected cases, since the most recent outbreak here in 2004. Editor: Fiona Zhu |

Thailand Responds To Bird Flu Outbreak
By UPI Jan 16, 2007 Health officials in Thailand have urged farmers to take special precautions against avian influenza following the discovery of the H5N1 virus in ducks. The virus was discovered in the northern province of Phitsanulok, the Thai News Agency reported. A similar virus has been found in wild birds in the central province of Suphan Buri, but officials say that determining whether it is H5N1 could take several weeks. Dr. Thawat Suntrajarn, head of the Disease Control Department, also advises farm families to get immediate medical attention for anyone showing symptoms similar to bird flu. Provincial Livestock Office director Methee Ket-adisorn said poultry on farms within 3 miles of the one where the infection was discovered in Phitsanulok are being checked. Health workers are also surveying farm families in the province. All provinces are setting up "war rooms" for a rapid response if the outbreak spreads, the report said. (c) UPI |

Thailand Tests 11 People for Possible H5N1 Bird-Flu Infection
By Suttinee Yuvejwattana Jan. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Thailand is monitoring 11 people for possible bird flu, less than a week after the lethal H5N1 avian- flu virus killed poultry in the country's first outbreak in more than five months. The people, who are from nine Thai provinces, are being treated in the hospital for flu-like symptoms and had recent contact with dead poultry, Suphan Srithamma, a spokesman for the Public Heath Ministry, said in a telephone interview today. ``We have brought these patients in to closely watch them and to carry out a series of tests,'' Suphan said. ``So far, none of the results has been positive and no one has shown to be infected with the virus, but we will keep monitoring them for 10 days.'' Thailand is one of four Asian countries to report fresh H5N1 outbreaks in poultry in the past two months, signaling a resurgence of the disease that threatens to infect people and possibly spark a flu pandemic. About 2,100 poultry were culled in the northern Thai province of Phitsanulok to control the spread of the H5N1, the Agricultural Ministry's Avian Influenza Control Center said on Jan. 15. The H5N1 strain is known to have infected 267 people in 10 countries since 2003, killing 161 of them, the World Health Organization said on Jan. 15. Millions could die if H5N1 mutates to become as contagious as seasonal flu, touching off a global outbreak. Thailand has recorded 25 human H5N1 cases, 17 of which were fatal. The last reported human infection occurred in July 2006 in a 59-year-old man from Nong Bua Lam Phu Province in the northeastern part of the country. He died of severe pneumonia on Aug. 10, according to the WHO. Of the 11 patients being monitored in the hospital, three are from the central province of Suphan Buri, 100 kilometers (62 miles) from Bangkok, where dead pigeons and other wild birds were found to have died last month of H5N1.

Meanwhile, the Disease Control Department had announced that testing showed that 111 persons suspected to be infected with bird flu, including a duck farmer in Ayutthaya province, were suffering from ordinary fever or pneumonia and not from bird flu.
The tests were carried out during the first three weeks of January, a Public Health Ministry spokesperson said. (TNA) 2,000 poultry culled at Lao border
http://www.bangkokpost.com/breaking_news/breakingnews.php?id=116192 Thai health officials in this Mekong River province bordering Laos, some 615 kilometres northeast of Bangkok, have culled more than 2,000 poultry suspected to have been stricken with the deadly avian influenza -- bird flu. A total of 230 chickens at a farm in Si Chiang Mai district of Nong Khai died of unknown causes Saturday, forcing the provincial authorities to later cull some 2,000 chickens at the farm. Another 60 chickens raised by villagers living near the farm were also destroyed. Nong Khai governor Supot Laowansiri said the change in the weather could be one reason for the chickens at the farm to have died unnaturally. Governor Supot said lab tests on the dead chickens could be known within three days. Meanwhile, the Disease Control Department had announced that testing showed that 111 persons suspected to be infected with bird flu, including a duck farmer in Ayutthaya province, were suffering from ordinary fever or pneumonia and not from bird flu.

Bird Flu spreads in Vietnam // 26 Jan 2007
According to the Vietnam Vet Department, bird flu has been discovered in 41 villages, 18 districts and 8 provinces (Ca Mau, Bac Lieu, Hau Giang, Vinh Long, Kien Giang, Tra Vinh, Soc Trăng and Can Tho City). The total number of dead infected fowls is nearly 19,000. The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr. Cao Duc Phat has requested provinces in the Mekong Delta region to prohibit people to move duck flocks from one village, town or province to another village, town or province until bird flu is stamped out. He has also issue a Directive which requests immediate vaccination for all duck flocks. Ducks in infected villages have to be locked up. Healthy and vaccinated flocks in the villages where bird flu has been eliminated, or where there is no bird flu at all, are allowed to run on the fields within the villages’ boundaries. All activities related to the killing of ducks, and duck meat and egg sales must follow the ministry’s regulations. Poultry killing and selling activities are to be constantly supervised. In addition, people are asked to lock up and vaccinate poultry, as well as constantly clean and sterilize coops, and limit contacts with strange poultry, wild birds and strangers. Local authorities must co-ordinate with the police to find and stamp out smuggling centres, and guide border villages to persuade people not to participate in poultry smuggling and to expose violators. The Vet Department has recently asked the Ho Chi Mihn City area’s vet centre and the vet boards of Long An and Binh Duong to investigate the possibility of poultry’s immunity to the bird flu vaccine. With two shots for every fowl, the protection rate should be 70 %. |

Thai officials observe virus mutation in pigs
Thailand's provincial public health officials have been alerted to keep a close watch on the possibility of the mutation of viruses in pigs following the deaths of two people from H3N2 human influenza. Thawat Sunthrajarn, director-general of Disease Control Department, said on Friday that pigs have been proven to be capable of contracting bird flu virus known as H5N1 and H3N2 human flu virus without showing any symptoms. "This provides an ideal place for the two strains of virus to mix and mutate," Thawat was quoted by the Bangkok Post's website as saying. The director-general noted that the most scary thing is that the mutation of the two strains of virus occurs in human bodies or other mammals. He said that in the past whenever there was a bird flu outbreak, health officials would take blood samples from mammals to test for bird flu virus. One man recently died of H3N2 virus in Thai northeastern Nong Khai province and a five-year old girl also died from the virus in central Prachuab Khiri Khan province. Meanwhile, Nong Khai and nearby Phitsanulok have been confirmed as the country's first two bird flu outbreaking provinces this year. Source: Xinhua |
