Indonesia Won't Stop Sharing Viruses

January 26, 2010
http://thejakartaglobe.com/hea...
Health Minister Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih on Monday reiterated that Indonesia would continue to share rare samples of viruses collected here with researchers abroad, dismissing media reports that the country had pulled out of such sharing at a World Health Organization meeting in Geneva.

"We are sticking to our original plan, which is to fight for better rights for developing countries," she said, saying that Indonesia was a pioneer in that cause.

In May 2009, world health officials accepted an Indonesian proposal for a new method of virus sharing, wherein samples from developing countries and the benefits reaped by the research would be shared equally. Endang's predecessor, Siti Fadillah Supari, announced in early 2007 that the country had stopped sharing H5N1 (bird flu) virus samples with the WHO out of concern that developing countries did not have access to vaccines produced by drug companies in rich countries. Indonesia was hit especially hard by the bird flu epidemic of 2005. For the upcoming World Health Assembly this May, Endang, said that Indonesia would request the WHO to define the benefits entitled to a country that shared virus samples.

"We want to know exactly what percent we will get from the benefit sharing. It should be clearly regulated," Endang said.

She added that Indonesia gained nothing when it shared samples of bird flu under the old mechanism.

"We would like to produce the influenza vaccine here, not for commercial purposes but only for domestic needs," Endang said.

Nine dead: Garut citizens from bird flu

Thursday, January 28, 2010 10:54:31 | Capital and Regional | Read 21 times

Whereas the other 40 cases, consisting of a positive citizen and bird flu could have recovered as well as 39 other residents suspeck, "said the head of Garut District Health Office Dr. H. Hendy Budiman, M. Kes when found in his office, Wednesday.

They are scattered in 11 districts or 16 villages with one village, covering 21 districts Cikelet with each case in the village of Cikelet (14 cases), the village Cigadog (4 cases) and the village CIJAMBE (3 cases), followed by sub Bayongbong (2 cases ) in each village and the village Mulyasari Sukarame, he said.

The Intellectual Property Fight That Could Kill Millions

>posted over from News

by Delthia Ricks
From the December 2009 issue; published online January 28, 2010
The hothouse environment of Indonesia is ground zero for a potential bird flu pandemic. But a fight over ownership of flu genes is blocking the efforts to track deadly infections on the move.

Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali is best known as a tourist hub, the bustling port of entry to a volcanic paradise. But when Indonesian authorities learned that a Mexican swine flu had gone global, that hub became a surreal microcosm of flu politics. Each arriving passenger was scanned for fever. A Dutch woman, apparently ill while in flight, was greeted by health workers in hazmat suits and whisked into quarantine while fellow passengers were spritzed with disinfectant. The woman was found to have nothing more than a bad sore throat, according to news reports, but that did not change a thing. The controversial head of the Indonesian Health Ministry, physician Siti Supari, quarantined sick foreigners at warp speed. Already embroiled in a battle royal with the world's superpowers over another flu virus-the ultra-lethal bird flu-Supari did not have time to deal with a new enemy. She would do everything possible, she told her fellow citizens, to protect them from the new pathogen spawned by a pig.

The recent frenzy in Bali stood in notable contrast to the research paralysis that has gripped this tropical archipelago since late 2006, when Supari declared that flu viruses circulating in Indonesia belonged to her government alone. It was a bizarre, 21st-century twist on an age-old intellectual property argument. Developing nations had long fought passionately over plant and native human genes, but no one had ever before staked claim to microbes that birds could carry anywhere. Yet the 57-year-old health minister insisted she had cause: Rich Western nations were patenting the viral genomes, then using the information to create vaccines that were sold for profit to other Western powers while benefiting Indonesia not at all.

If Supari had stopped there, she might have garnered real support. But she ramped up the rhetoric, launching a barrage of fear bombs by accusing the United States of genetically engineering H1N1 (the swine flu virus) and H5N1 (the bird flu pathogen) as biological weapons. Wielding those charges, she flouted agreements with the World Health Organization (WHO), refusing to share samples from Indonesians infected with avian influenza-specimens the rest of the world desperately needs to track a virus on the move.

Supari not only has clamped down on viral and epidemiological information but has also cut off cooperation with NAMRU-2, the U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit in Indonesia's capital city, Jakarta. Since 1970 the lab has helped advance knowledge on a range of infectious diseases, including malaria, dengue, and, more recently, bird flu in Southeast Asia. But Supari wants the Americans and their scientific paraphernalia to get out.

This standoff has escalated into a full-blown geopolitical dispute over influenza viruses. Negotiations are so delicate that talks on the U.S. end have risen to the highest levels of diplomacy. The State Department would neither confirm nor deny that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's visit to Indonesia in February had something to do with NAMRU-2. "We have no comment on the secretary's private conversations," said a source who requested anonymity. Despite intermittent signs of a thaw, this past May Supari reportedly threatened with severe punishment any Indonesian scientist caught conducting experiments with researchers at the naval laboratory. Once bustling with scientists, that lab now has only a handful of researchers, all on temporary visas.

Supari could be written off as an inconsequential hothead if not for the spread of bird flu in Indonesia and the looming international threat it presents. Global health leaders need her cooperation to trace a virus that is relatively rare in most of the world but that has left few regions in this chain of 17,500 islands unscathed. That virus may still represent one of the world's greatest public-health threats, some scientists fear.

Their concern is based on several chilling facts. More people-and more birds-have died of avian influenza in Indonesia than anywhere else on earth. Smoldering in rural regions as well as cities, the H5N1 virus has the potential to kindle a pandemic strain. With a new, easily transmissible swine flu already circling the globe, scientists are understandably nervous. Some are talking about the potential of a gene swap between the pig and avian flu strains. Long feared as a breeding ground for novel flu viruses-many variants of H5N1 have been identified in humans and chickens here-Indonesia is considered a likely spot where such a genetic reassortment event might occur.

The shift of rainy season had influenced the replication of the virus. Several areas in Riau were still drowned by flood which had increased the rate of virus spread, added Patrianov.

In the days of flood, people had trouble to diminish or bury dead chickens, so they preferred to dispose the chicken’s body to flowing water or puddle around their residences.

According to Patrianov, most severe bird flu attack in Riau had occurred in broiler chickens in Kabupaten Kampar with total case up to 1,900. Remaining cases were reported in backyard chickens that reared by locals.

Laylat Fatriya's Death a Mystery

February 1, 2010
http://regional.kompas.com/rea...
Tuban: The death of Laylat Fitriyah (22), resident of Village Sendang, Sub Senori, Tuban, East Java, in Saudi Arabia on 11 November 2009 still remains a mystery to the family. The dead child and Muspiatun Suratin couple's family received from a friend of the victim who were both migrant workers in Saudi Arabia. According to the friend of the victim, the death of Laylat is full of irregularities. Finally, the family checked the truth of Laylat's death with PJTKI PT Laylat Jasmindo Olah Talent Jakarta from which Laylat was dispatched. That's when a new family believed that Laylat actually died in Saudi Arabia.

Based on the letter from PJTKI, Laylat death was caused by heart disease, lung disease, and bird flu. The family was not sure of the answer because there is no lifetime medical history of heart disease. Based on the autopsy report, written in Arabic and then translated, the new family knew that Laylat died from drinking fluids that contained api (fire, flame, spirit). This fluid causes the heart to stop functioning and ultimately Laylat died. An uncle of the victim, Rosdi, said that the family asked for the exact cause of death of the victim from PJTKI, but there has been no clear response. Relatives also inquired why her corpse terkatung-katungnya (was at sea?) for almost three months.
They hoped the related office will express the certain cause of the death of the casualty.

"It is possible she died last November 11 and it is just is sent now," said Rusdi.

"The cycle of shifting monsoons also affect the development of the virus. A number of areas in Riau are still flooded, so the virus becomes very easy, but overcoming the virus becomes rather difficult," said Patrianov.

At the time of the flood, most residents can not destroy a dead chicken with a way to bury the carcass. Many people prefer the easy way by removing the dead chicken carcasses into a puddle of water flow around their settlements.

According Patrianov, the virus is most widely attacked in Kampar broiler until they reach a dead tail 1900. The rest is raised chicken society. However, Indragiri Hulu became the most vulnerable areas of this virus spread to humans. The end of last year, Ananda, male child 8 years old, resident of District Kelayang, died from this virus.

In addition,
All three admitted to the Regional General Hospital (Hospital) Arifin Achmad since three days until the last week. Jupri, citizen Pekanbaru, who initially suspected the H5N1 virus, but now has recovered.

Unud Diognostik Develop Low Cost
Monday, 01 Februari 2010 11:49 WIB

DENPASAR - MI: Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (FKH) of Udayana University diognostik are developing a sensitive and specific with a relatively cheap price to support the bird flu surveillance program.

"It was made considering the kit is expensive enough that it is impossible diognostik conducted in laboratories with low safety standards," said Professor of Udayana University, Prof. Dr. I Gusti Ngurah drh Mahardika Kade in Denpasar, Monday (1 / 2). Sensitive diognostik develop an affordable price is expected to support the activities of epidemiological studies of influenza virus in Bali, Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) and East Nusa Tenggara (NTT).

Studies conducted in three provinces that show a variety of influenza viruses, other than bird flu, was in Bali, NTB, and NTT. Due to limited funds and reagents, the subject of the virus can not be determined. However, given that later diognostik entire study is expected to produce maximum results.

Mahardika, who is also Head of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology Biomedics and Animals at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (FKH) Udayana University, explains, detection of the genome that are less dangerous as an alternative require a sophisticated supporting equipment. "Kit is available and recommended by WHO is intended for detection of human influenza A viruses. For the determination of the subject should be done with standard techniques HI after germination propagated in eggs or cell cultures," said Mahardika.

Alumnus S-2 and S-3 a higher education institution in Germany was added, the use of the kit aims to facilitate the conduct surveys and community-based mass. In addition, kits are also made for animals and poultry are cheap and affordable.

Bird flu attacks in North Lampung Mengganas

Bird flu attacks in North Lampung Mengganas
Monday, 01 February 2010 09:28 pm

Sukadana, East Lampung, (TVOne)

Attack the bird flu virus (AI) more widespread in East Lampung District, so local governments are expected to more seriously address the spread of a deadly disease is. "Before the attack of bird flu found most frequently in the three districts, namely Sukadana, Purbolinggo, and Marga Three, but now began to spread to several other districts," said a resident, Saefudin (40), the District Batanghari Nuban, Lamtim, Monday (1 / 2).

Saefudin added, the attack of avian influenza (AI) or bird flu continued to spread in the region of East Lampung. Earlier in January 2010 found the first time in District Sukadana, Purbolinggo and Margatiga, and is now a disease affecting poultry has spread to other districts such as the Batang Hari Nuban and Labuhan Ratu.

From the records of East Lampung Animal Husbandry Department, first detected bird flu in the village of Marga Subdistrict TERBANGGI Sukadana; Village Sukadana Marga Three New District and the Village Purbolinggo Add Dadi District. But has now spread some villages, such as the Three Mountain Village Sub Batanghari Nuban; and the Old Village District Rajabasa Labuhan Ratu.

Earlier, during January 2010 the number of chickens died of bird flu infected 1176 has reached the tail, and the number will further increase with the spread of bird flu into a number of other districts.

In response, Chief of Animal Husbandry Department Lamtim, Baharudin Ali through the Head of Animal Health Animal Husbandry Department of East Lampung, Morrow, explained, to overcome the widespread dissemination of AI, then it has made various efforts. These efforts include improving outreach to the community and spraying disinfectant around the stable AI-infected poultry.

Then, he continued, in the near future Animal Husbandry Department will also distribute AI vaccines, particularly for poultry farmers who impound. "We have proposed the procurement of two million doses of AI vaccines to the Animal Husbandry Department of Lampung Province, but not yet clear how the approved and when distributed," he said.

According to him, to prevent the spread of AI, then the East Lampung Disnak actually have increased surveillance of poultry traffic involving the village administration and coordinator of the implementing agencies in each district. Through these activities, he said, is expected to sick poultry is not sold on the market. Moreover, East Lampung region is an endemic area AI, so that the current weather conditions, the bird flu virus spread easily.

Meanwhile, although the East Lampung region is spread bird flu, but so far not been found in human cases of bird flu.

According to him, determined these five ports to the entry of goods from the outside can be controlled. So the things that are not desirable as it is smuggling, entry of various epidemics and others can be avoided. Where, when he entered the port the ships have to be checked and sprayed plants and plants that do not carry the plague.

Likewise with food products to be watched. If no match will disanksi. "These three products that China imports of textiles, toys and electronic goods anakanak still not be allowed into the ports opened for such international Baru.Pembatasan Boom minister was based on rules, because the products China imports could create a crisis," he said.

Mutated Bird Flu Virus Raises Doubts About Flu Vaccines

February 2, 2010, http://www.thejakartaglobe.com...
A genetically mutated avian flu virus is believed to be behind a string of deadly outbreaks in bird populations over the past two years, a scientist said on Tuesday, warning that the new virus had the potential to be more lethal than its ancestor should it infect humans.
Virologist I Gusti Ngurah Mahardhika said the government's vaccination program with a large number of poultry farms in the past few years may backfire because the mutation was partly suspected to have been caused by an outdated vaccine.

"I have strong evidence that the old vaccine seed [already developed by the country's vaccine makers] cannot stop the new virus," said Mahardhika, who is also head of the Biomedical and Molecular Biology Laboratory at the Udayana University's Veterinary Medicine School.

He said isolated virus samples taken from already vaccinated farms in Java, Sumatra, Bali and Sulawesi from 2008 to 2009 were compared with samples from their ancestor H5N1 virus taken from Legok, Banten, in 2003.

"From the study, we found genetic differences of up to 8.7 percent from the ancestor virus," he said.

The Legok virus is still being used by most vaccine producers here as the vaccine seed and the recent mutations may mean the seed virus is outdated. The genetic differences in the virus samples are mostly represented by changes in the acid composition, or RNA [ribonucleic acid], which "have never been found before [in the 2003 virus samples]."
Genetic mutations, according to Mahardhika, could be triggered by either natural causes or vaccine resistance. In the case of samples he studied, Mahardhika said the changes pointed more to the possibility of vaccine resistance rather than natural causes.

"Flu viruses are highly mutagenic and their RNA structure can quite easily undergo changes, or a deletion. The vaccine also has a masking effect whereby it only provokes immunity in the birds' respiratory systems although the virus can still be found in the bird's saliva. So now we can see a seemingly healthy chicken but its droppings and saliva are full of this virus," he said.

The most recent viral outbreak in poultry populations was reported on Monday from Pekanbaru where thousands of chickens died in several villages. In one of the villages in Indragiri Hulu, two toddlers - aged three years and six months old - are suspected of having been infected. A Web site jointly developed by Surabaya's Airlangga University and Kobe University in Japan, www.birdflucorner.wordpress.com, reported that the two neighboring toddlers had had a history of contact with dead chickens.

Indonesia has been the hardest hit by the spread of avian flu, both in humans and poultry. The first outbreaks in bird populations were reported in 2003 with the virus spreading to humans two years later. At least 125 people have died of this bird flu. So far, human infections can only result from direct contact with dead fowls and there is no scientific evidence that the virus is able to transmit from human to human although suspicions were raised after a few cluster cases were found in which a number of members from the same family had became infected. Simple hygienic practices such as hand washing help prevent infections. Microbiology clinic professor with the University of Indonesia, Amin Soebandrio, concurred with Mahardhika's findings, saying he had suspected that such changes would come.

"Research has also been carried out by my students on a similar issue using only 2004 virus samples. And genetic changes are apparent."

Amin said further study must be done to check whether the changes directly affect the resistance of the virus to the vaccine being used by the government.

"We need to see whether the changes increase the capacity of the virus to infect the human respiratory system," he said. "If that's the case, it's more than likely the virus will also be resistant to the antiviral we are now using to treat patients with avian influenza."

Tjandra Yoga Aditama, the director general of disease monitoring at the Ministry of Health said the public should not worry too much about these findings because it did not mean a new virus had been created.

"Viruses always have the potential to mutate, that's common in nature, but these studies don't meant we've found a new strain of virus," he said.

Memed Zoelkarnain, spokesman for the National Commission for Avian Influenza and Pandemic Prevention, said the findings must be studied further in a bid not to scare people and called on the media to be sensible when reporting on this issue given the findings are preliminary.

"We don't want to frighten the public," he said.

Memed, also a veterinary doctor, said Mahardhika should double check with "all vaccine makers" because there was more than one vaccine maker in the country but only a few of them used the 2003 vaccine seed.

7 Citizens of Inhu suspected of bird flu since December

Super Flu mix

Muhareva Raekiansyah

| February 2, 2010 | 14:37

The experts in the United States seeks probe inflenza viral nature by creating models of a virus that may occur in nature. However, this strategy raised concerns that the virus actually super really going to come from the laboratory.

Influenza or commonly called "flu" is the oldest diseases of human lurking. Was first recorded by Hipocrates (412 BC), the disease has repeatedly led to disastrous. The first pandemic which appeared well-documented in 1580. And so far recorded more than thirty times mengganas pandemic influenza, four of the most dramatic of which occurred in the 20th century is year 1918 (Spanish flu), 1957 (Asian flu), 1968 (Hong Kong flu), and 1977 (Russian flu ).

When the Spanish flu pandemic highway, the plague swept the majority of mainland Europe and took no less than 40 million people across the earth. One-fifth of the world population was infected by this virus.

Agile

Unique characteristics of influenza virus is mutating agility. This property becomes important secret viruses survive and cause an epidemic throughout the year even periodic pandemic. The virus is highly favored by the form of the RNA genome that is not only bersegmen easily mutate (antigenic drift) but also combined (genetic reassortment) between subtypes of the virus and produce hybrids altogether new. Hybrid was born through a combination of surface antigens called hemaglutin (H) and neuramidase (N). Unfortunately, the ability to exchange genes is not restricted to inter-human flu virus, but can also be the avian flu virus. H2N2 subtype responsible for the flu pandemic of 1957 and H3N2 (1968) are examples of hybrid virus-human bird flu results of genetic assortment.

Infectious virus subtypes in humans actually just a little. Except H2N2 and H3N2, have other H1N1 (Spanish flu), H9N2, and H7N7. While avian flu virus subtypes much more. There are 15 types of H (H1-15) and 9 N (N1-9) so that a total of 135 possible combinations that can be formed.

Similar characteristics is a serious threat to public health. New subtype may appear at any moment and blow pandemic. In addition because the human immune system does not recognize the new subtype, there is a vaccine that would not be effective. This threat is feared to increase after the emergence of the fact that the H5N1 subtype that is normally only contagious in poultry, in certain cases be able to "jump" to humans and deadly. Fortunately these subtypes can not be transmitted between people so that the biological disaster that may be more dramatic than Spanish flu does not explode. So it is with H1N1, which is usually only contagious in pigs. The difference in the H1N1, the virus is easily transmitted between humans. And this time we are still lucky because the swine flu is not fatal. The resulting death rate low so far alone.

Racik (to slice; cut)

Barangkat from the fact the emergence of malignant types of viruses such as H5N1, scientists currently working hard to find out what really happened this virus type. Scientists in several countries, including the Infectious Disease Center (CDC) U.S. disturbed by a number of crucial questions: why some strains of bird flu virus can infect humans, because what makes it so deadly, and changes (mutations) that what gave it the ability to spread between humans. By "tinkering with" the viral genome, is expected to reveal the mystery clearly so as to ward off and fight as early as possible worst possibility that occur in nature.

Now, to determine if subtypes such as H5N1 has the potential to cause a human pandemic be two approaches. First, "playing" with the viral genes to produce similar mutations that occur in nature. The technique used is known as "reverse genetics" (reverse genetic). Another approach, combining or mixing the genes of avian influenza virus with human influenza virus using reverse genetics technique was or random recombination techniques (random reassortment) by infecting cells (in vitro) with both types of viruses (human and bird). This last approach remains a serious question. Human influenza virus reassortment results are easily formed in the laboratory. But the reality in nature are very rare. There are other factors involved but not yet understood.

So far, scientists at the CDC has identified the gene responsible H5N1 killed several people in Hong Kong (1997) and the human flu virus H3N2. Has been done also test-strains the ability of new virus strains to spread through the air or spray aerosols and causes disease in the same ferrets with human vulnerability.

Risk

But this kind of dangerous work nevertheless reap a polemic (controversy/argument?). Some scientists do not agree because it considered very risky. Rather than as an effort to prevent this project it was a cause disastrous. The worst scenario that could happen is the formation of super flu virus that true never evolved naturally in nature. It seems impossible but it does not mean impossible.

Kehawatiran strengthened by the fact that the work "playing" with the flu virus is not carried out in laboratories with high security levels (Biosafety Level 4/BSL-4). It's just terrible when viruses released into the environment. Another argument of opponents is how much the benefits gained because if the intent is to develop a vaccine, many other techniques that can be used. Not to mention how to test the virulence of the virus in humans procedure would be very tight. Bioterrorism issues were raised by critics. According to them, no one can guarantee a super flu will be misused for evil purposes. Therefore this project is not merely true but also the issue of flu threat to humanity.

Science is like a double-edged knife. One side of a human savior. But the other side can bear "Frakeinstein" scary.

Report: Rahmadi

RENGAT, TRIBUN-Society requested Indragiri Hulu aware of the dangers of the spread of bird flu virus. Because, since December 2009 to the present, has recorded seven cases of bird flu found susfect.

Chief of Health Inhu, Helmi A Manaf revealed susfect of seven cases of bird flu found in Inhu, one person dies, the other one tested positive by the Ministry of Health, four people were still in care and one was cured. "And of the four people in care that is now improved," said Helmi, Tuesday (2 / 2).

The last case was found there on Thursday (28 / 1) and, namely M Rafi (6 months), Bangko Lubuk Village residents Beligan, Sub SEBERIDA and Julian Wijaya (3.5), resident of Causeway Village Sub Trunk Cenaku Midrand.

Officers sprayed the chicken coop.

PELAIHARI, TUESDAY - Following the still precarious risk of contracting the disease of avian bird flu on poultry influnza, District Animal Husbandry Office Tanahlaut (Tala) provides an appeal to the public to remain vigilant.

Vigilance is done by improving the cleanliness of the cage and routinely spraying using vaccines.

Communities need not be afraid to consume chicken meat, which is important in a mature cooked to the boiling point above 60 degrees. At these temperatures the bird flu virus will die. There are good ways to cook fried chicken because it would reach the boiling point 100 degrees.

Pekanbaru, Riau ::: Prevalence increases up to six hundred percent

February 1, 2010
Pekanbaru - About 2,751 chickens had died of bird flu virus within previous month in Riau. This has folded the number of bird flu cases in chicken by 600 percent compare to number at same period of last year outbreak, 441 chickens.

Head of Livestock Service of Riau Province, Patrianov said massive chickens deaths had been reported from six municipals/cities in Riau: Kampar 1,995 chickens; Siak 351, Indragiri Hilir 234, Indragiri Hulu 128, Rokan Hulu 22, and Pekanbaru 14. The shift of rainy season had influenced the replication of the virus. Several areas in Riau were still drowned by flood which had increased the rate of virus spread, added Patrianov.

In the days of flood, people had trouble to diminish or bury dead chickens, so they preferred to dispose the chicken's body to flowing water or puddle around their residences.

According to Patrianov, most severe bird flu attack in Riau had occurred in broiler chickens in Kabupaten Kampar with total case up to 1,900. Remaining cases were reported in backyard chickens that reared by locals.

Indragiri Hulu has been the most susceptible area of bird flu transmission from birds to human. At the end of 2009, an 8-year-old boy from Kecamatan Kelayang had died of bird flu virus. Within the former month, three more children from the same sub-districts (kecamatan) were suspected of having bird flu infection, named Julian Iman Jaya (3.5 years old), Annisa (4.5 years old) and Rafli (6.5 months old). They have been treated at Arifin Achmad regional hospital since the former few days to a week.

Public urged to be weary of spread of H5N1

Residents appealed Bogor Diskes Bird Flu Alert
Wednesday, February 3, 2010 02:42 pm

Bogor (ANTARA News) - Head of Public Health (health office) City of Bogor, Triawan Elan, urged the public to be wary of the spread of avian influenza virus (H5N1) and the procedures required to implement such a deadly virus prevention.

"The spread of H5N1 virus occurred in the rainy season, we ask the public alert and enhance prevention efforts by implementing procedures bird flu prevention," he told AFP in Bogor, Tuesday.

This appeal was submitted in anticipation of the spread of bird flu in the city of Bogor, the article not long ago owned dozens of chickens died suddenly Ciparigi found.

"We have not received the report what caused the death of the chicken. But still we are coordinating with the Department of Animal Husbandry, to search for tau cause," said District, accompanied Triawan Surveillance Officer (DSO) in field AI Diskes Bogor City, Dwi Sukamto.

Dwi said the spread of the virus from poultry occurred in the rainy season from December, January, February and March.

"But in the month of April is usually the season will be reduced because the spread was in the dry season," he explained.

He mentioned, until now it had not received reports of cases of bird flu.

Cases of bird flu in Bogor is still relatively small, in the year 2009, there were four cases, of which two people died and two people suspected of (suspect) bird flu.

Kadiskes also appealed to people who found the chicken died suddenly to not destroy the way of throwing into the times.

"If there was a sudden dead chicken thrown at times do not but should be burned," imbaunya.

We have endeavored Diskes party to disseminate bird flu prevention to the community.

"We also received a grant from the World Health Organization (WHO) for Rp8, 1 million for prevention programs. The program will be implemented in six districts, each district still received funding Rp1, 3 million," he said.

Through this grant will do Diskes the socialization of each month at weeks three and four, in the hospital or health center.

In addition to socialization, prevention of bird flu was also done using Tamiflu. Bogor City received 5000 tami flu tablets that have been deployed in all hospitals and health centers in the city. (PK-LR/K004)

Bogor City Does Not Have Special Bird Flu Rooms

February 3, 2010
http://regional.kompas.com/rea...
Bogor: Bogor City does not have a hospital that provides a special isolation room patients suspect bird flu, because the disease was not endemic in this region.

"We do not have a hospital that provides special isolation rooms for bird flu suspect patients," said District Survellence Officer (DSO) Avian Flu Bogor City Health Office, Dwi Sukamto in Bogor, Wednesday (3/2/2010).

He said the existence of a special hospital for the treatment of bird flu patients have not really been needed, because the disease is not endemic and is still relatively small in Bogor City.

"Especially for the existence of a special isolation rooms that require special equipment and is completely supported by appropriate experts," he said.

So far, Dwi said, handling bird flu patients from the city of Bogor was referred to the national referral hospital, the Friendship Hospital in Jakarta.

"But before referral, patients are first treated at the Bhakti Bogor Hospital work for initial examination, only then they are referred," he said.

Dwi said that only RS Karya Bhakti transited bird flu patients, because it has an isolation room isolation, but not for treating H5N1 patients.

"In Bogor only Bhakti Hospital has a sterile isolation room. If there are casualties, in the early stages we send for transit to Bhakti Karya Hospital early, and only after the suspect is believed, we just refer to the Jakarta Friendship Hospital," he said.

Actually, said Dwi, Ministry of Health of Indonesia menawakan to Bogor, RS Karya Bhakti, which provided assistance for the provision of special bird flu patient rooms.

"It's never ditawakan, but the hospitals are not prepared, probably due to a lack of experts and staff nurses, let alone handling the bird flu for which one really needs complete equipment and skilled personnel," said Dwi.

From data on the Public Health Service in 2009, the number of bird flu victims was four people, two of them suspect, and two more who died. The signs of bird flu include high fever at 38 degrees for a week that never comes down, a disturbing respiratory cough and a runny nose.

"If there are people who experience these symptoms,and should prove to have a history of contact with poultry, it was certain that the symptoms are bird flu," he said and urged citizens to increase vigilance.

BOGOR - MI: None of the existing hospital in the city of Bogor has a special room to isolate the bird flu patients. It is said Survellence District Officer (DSO) Bird Flu Bogor City Health Office Dwi Sukamto Wednesday (3 / 2).

He said the existence of a special hospital for the treatment of bird flu patients have not really needed, because the disease is not endemic and is still relatively small in Bogor City. "Especially for the existence of a special isolation rooms require special equipment and a complete and supported by appropriate experts," he said.

"We usually refer to the Friendship Hospital Jakarta, the national referral hospital. But before referral, patients first treated at the hospital works to transit Bakhti Bogor initial examination, only then be referred," he said.

Dwi said the hospital only works Bakhti transit bird flu patients, because it has room isolation, but not to treat H5N1 patients. "In Bogor Hospital only works with Bakhti sterile isolation room. If there are casualties, the early stages we sent to hospitals for transit Bakhti work early, and only then believed to be 'suspect', then we refer to the Friendship Hospital Jakarta," he said.

Actually, said Dwi, Ministry of Health of Indonesia has the menawakan to Bogor Hospital Bakhti works for the provision of assistance given special room bird flu patients. "It's never ditawakan, but the hospitals have not prepared, probably due to a lack of experts and staff nurse, let alone handling the bird flu really have to complete the equipment and skilled personnel," said Dwi.

Data on the Public Health Service in 2009 the number of victims of bird flu four people, two of whom were 'suspect', and two more died.

CIDRAP Report on Possible Mutation

CIDRAP News Scan
February 4, 2010
http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/cidr...
An Indonesian virologist says the H5N1 avian influenza virus in Indonesia may have evolved so as to make the poultry vaccines used there less effective, according to a report in the Jakarta Globe. The virologist, I Gusti Ngurah Mahardhika, said genetic differences of up to 8.7% were found when viral isolates collected at farms with vaccinated flocks in 2008 and 2009 were compared with a virus isolated from Legok, Banten, in 2003. The Legok virus is still being used by most vaccine producers in Indonesia, the story said. Mahardhika suggested that the viral mutations may explain a series of outbreaks in Indonesian flocks over the past 2 years and said he had "strong evidence" that vaccines based on the Legok virus are not effective against newer strains. Another scientist, Amin Soebandrio of the University of Indonesia, said he concurred with Mahardhika's findings and commented, "We need to see whether the changes increase the capacity of the virus to infect the human respiratory system."

The Resident Guarded Against Bird Flu (West Java)
Teens The Chicken Died Suddenly
Thursday, February 4 2010 - 17:43 WIB

Bogor (the City Post). Teens the chicken that died suddenly in the Neglasari Village (kampong) RT.001 RW 01, Ciparigi Village (kelurahan), Bogor North Subdistrict evidently was caused by the Newcastle disease. Nevertheless the Health Service (Dinkes) the Bogor City asked the local resident to guard against the spreading of the virus H2N1 (sic) or bird flu.

The village head Ciparigi, Pria Gunandi, on Thursday said, after the official Dinkes and the Livestock and Agriculture Service (Disnakan) the Bogor City carried out investigation including the interview with the resident it was confirmed 12 chickens residents local that died suddenly that was caused by the Newcastle disease.

"Was not found by the story of the chicken died suddenly because of bird flu in the Neglasari Village," he said.

Beforehand the local resident panic after their 14 kept chickens died suddenly. Iyus, one of the owners of the chicken acknowledged, most startled to find his chicken dying was scattered about in the yard of the house. Next day the similar incident was repeated again to the other chicken. "The number of the resident's chickens that died our 14 previous tails reported to the village head," he said.

While Kadinkes Kota Bogor, Triwanda Elan, appealed to the local resident and the City of Bogor to guard against the spreading of the bird flu virus. Especially like the rain season at this time that will be estimated up until this coming March. "So we spread 5,000 items of the Tamiflu tablet to all Health Centers in the Bogor City," he said.

However up to now, this medicine was not yet used. He said, Tamiflu was used when being gotten by the case of bird flu in an area. "Because of the characteristics from this medicine for the prevention of bird flu," he said. Up to now his side does not yet find the existence of the case of bird flu. "Only last 2009 was gotten by four cases, two including dying," he explained.

Indonesia Pushes for Fair Virus Sharing Scheme

http://www.thejakartapost.com/...
Indonesia will maintain its demand for the fair virus sharing scheme with developed nations ahead of the World Health Assembly meeting, despite its new partnership with the US, officials say. Tjandra Yoga Aditama, the Health Ministry's director general of disease control and environmental health, said Indonesia would push ahead with demands that developing countries have access to affordable vaccines derived from their samples.

"Our position remains the same," he told The Jakarta Post on Tuesday.

Jakarta has said that it would not share samples of the bird flu virus, which has killed hundreds across the archipelago, unless richer nations and drug producers guaranteed to sell them the vaccines at reasonable prices. Indonesia will participate in the World Health Assembly this May in Geneva - a forum that includes developed and developing nations and members of the World Health Organization, to negotiate the virus-sharing scheme.
However, the scheme has been moving slowly since it was launched in 2007 because vaccine producers have failed to guarantee accessibility. Tjandra said the new comprehensive partnership with the US, which covered health cooperation and would be signed in March during the visit of US President Barack Obama, would not weaken Jakarta's demands.

"Indonesia is leading developing countries in the demand... the current health minister was sitting as deputy chairman during the executive board meeting in Geneva this January and we have garnered full support from developing nations on the demand," he said.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Obama will launch a US-Indonesia strategic partnership during the latter's visit in March. Observers have said the virus sharing issue would be one of the topics discussed during their meeting. Tjandra said the comprehensive partnership would facilitate cooperation on medical and health research with the US, details of which are still under discussion between Jakarta and Washington.
He said cooperation in health research was not a continuation of the Namru joint research, a naval lab project launched to study virus strings between the US and Indonesia that has sparked controversy over the request for diplomatic immunity for US staff.

"The Namru project has been officially terminated... it's [the new deal] not the continuation," he said.

Sidarto Danusubroto, a lawmaker from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle [PDI-P], said the new comprehensive partnership should make cooperation between Jakarta and the US stronger.

"Jakarta should not succumb to pressure from the West. I agree with the position of our former health minister who has been firmly defending our national interest," he said, referring to former health minister Siti Fadilah Supari. "The new [health] minister should also act the same... Don't let the United States dictate our interests," said the lawmaker and member of Commission I, overseeing defense and foreign affairs.

Fears have arisen the new Health Minister Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih might yield to pressure from the West over the virus sharing scheme. Some lawmakers have cried foul over accusations that she had given a sample of a virus to foreign researchers before her appointment as health minister. Dian Triansyah Djani, Indonesia's permanent representative to the UN in Geneva, said Indonesia was looking for a fair mechanism in the WHO that would allow developing countries to obtain the benefits of virus sharing.

"Lots of developing countries need affordable medicines and at one point we will also look into opportunities of producing various vaccines," he said.

He said that developing nations, led by Indonesia, had one voice when it came to the virus sharing scheme. "Indonesia is a promoter for developing nations and [the group] has been quite cohesive ... we are working toward a decision that will benefit us," he said.

Jakarta Reject Chicken Life

It Must Cut chicken when distributed

Thursday, February 11, 2010 | 03:13 pm

Jakarta, Kompas - the local poultry breeders and traditional local intensive fret over plans DKI Jakarta Provincial Government banned live poultry into the capital city. This policy has scared off the small farmers who do not have the infrastructure for processing live poultry.

According to the Chairman of Local Poultry Farmers Association of Indonesia Ade M Zulkarnain, Wednesday (10 / 2) in Sukabumi, West Java, now a small breeder difficulties implementing that policy. Small ranchers do not have a chicken slaughterhouse (RPA), the freezers, and refrigerated transportation.

"The new policy in Jakarta requires that poultry coming into the region in the form of frozen carcass. How can a small farmer could supply, "he said.

Legal basis that the policy is DKI Jakarta Regional Regulation No. 4 of 2007 on the Control, Maintenance, and Distribution of Poultry. The policy requires automatic frozen carcass, poultry must be brought to Jakarta has been cut and plucked. Liver and heart may be traded, but not intestine. Carcass was taken to Jakarta should be frozen.

Meanwhile, the Head of Public Information Cucu Ahmad Kurnia said the regulations were going into effect in April 2010. Regulation was applied in order to minimize the chances of bird flu virus spreading through poultry that will be consumed citizens.

Disable

According to Ade, a small breeder obviously not able to build production facilities, such as cold storage and refrigerated transport facilities. RPA requires each unit of USD 2.5 billion investment for production capacity of 10,000 head per day. While support from the Ministry of Agriculture did not exist.

Every day the local poultry, or what is known as a chicken, that are in DKI Jakarta around 55,000 head. The contribution of local birds to the total national poultry needs to reach 16 percent.

Local poultry suppliers to Jakarta is not only from the West Java region, but also in Central Java, East Java, and Yogyakarta. "With this policy, hundreds of local poultry farmers will likely shut down," he said.

Earlier, Chairman of the Joint Krissantono Poultry Breeding Companies also worry about the same. Good regulation goal, namely to become the center for the capital city of hygienic meat sales. However, the problem, RPA is available only to accommodate a little chicken. Because of that, usually 800000-1 million chickens per day are entered, but with only half of RPA. (eca / mas)

By 2012, no more bird flu in S Kalimantan

Wednesday, February 17, 2010 11:39 WIB
Banjarbaru, S Kalimantan (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian province of South Kalimantan remained prone to the attacks of bird flu but it would be free from the deadly virus by 2012.

"We have projected that South Kalimantan will be free from bird flu by 2012," Head of the province`s veterinary office Serafina Ariani said here Wednesday.

In reaching the target, she had taken measures as urging local chicken breeders to maintain bio-security around breeding complexes and tightening control of chicken transportation.

The trucks carrying chickens need to be tightly monitored to prevent infected chickens from entering free-virus areas. "In doing so, we are working with related agencies," she said.

The avian influenza began attacking chickens in the province in 2004 which continued up to 2005. But, the virus was then relatively calm from 2005 to the end of 2009, she said.

"But by the end of 2009, bird flu again attacked chickens in five districts," Ariani said.
The infected regencies were Tanah Laut, Banjar, Barito Kuala Hulu Sungai Tengah and Banjarbaru, causing thousands of chickens to eliminated to curb the virus spread, she said.

About the sort of bird flu attacking Indonesia, a veterinarian in West Java town of Garut said on Tuesday that it was classified as "highly pathogenic avian influenza" (HPAI).

In the West Java district of Garut alone, there were at least 75 cases of HPAI between 2006 and 2010 in which more than 2,893 chickens suddenly died, Dida K.Endang said.

The attacks in 48 villages of Garut district over the past four years had sparked fears of human infection, said the head of Garut`s veterinary office.

To protect local residents from the worst possibilities, a total of 7,000 infected chickens were culled.

Local authorities paid the owners a compensation of Rp12,500 (US$1,4) for every culled chicken, Endang said.

However, not all people welcomed the amount of compensation. Instead of giving up the positively infected chickens for culling, they hid the poultry and just handed over small chickens, he said.

As a result, the efforts to control and halt the spread of bird flu in Garut district were not so successful. This condition was worsened by the lack of locals` health awareness, he said.

Instead of burning the infected chickens, many Garut residents throw them into rivers, creeks, or ponds. Worse still, some even consumed the infected chickens, he said.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), avian influenza or "bird flu" is a contagious disease of animals caused by a virus that normally infect only birds and, less commonly, pigs.

The WHO has warned that the infection with avian influenza could spread very rapidly through poultry flocks.

Indonesia has 33 provinces. Only three have been confirmed free from the threat of bird flu.

Indonesia has been dealing with bird flu since 2005. However, the H5N1 type of influenza is also known to have attacked chickens and birds in other Asian countries, such as Thailand, Cambodia, China, and Vietnam.

Indonesia threatened by highly pathogenic Avian Influenza in Garut

Wednesday, February 17, 2010 04:49 WIB

Garut, W Java (ANTARA News) - The bird flu viruses attacking Indonesia have been classified as "highly pathogenic avian influenza" (HPAI), a veterinarian said here Tuesday.

In the West Java district of Garut alone, there were at least 75 cases of HPAI between 2006 and 2010 in which more than 2,893 chickens suddenly died, Dida K.Endang said.

The attacks of bird flu viruses in 48 villages of Garut district over the past four years had sparked fears of human infection, said the head of Garut`s veterinary office.

As a result, the efforts to control and halt the spread of bird flu viruses in Garut district were not so successful. This condition was worsened by the lack of locals` health awareness, he said.

Instead of burning the infected chickens, many Garut residents throw them into rivers, creeks, or ponds. Worse, some even consumed the infected chickens, he said.

In curbing the spread of the dangerous viruses, he urged the people to report any suspicious bird flu cases immediately to 12 bird flu surveillance teams.

The team members would have gone to the suspicious spots within 24 hours. The people could also report the condition to the heads of neighborhoods or villages, he said.

The West Java provincial government had targeted that by 2014 the province would have been free from bird flu viruses, Endang said.

The habit of throwing the bird flu-infected chickens into the river was not only found in Garut but also in such other West Java towns as Bogor.

This situation had also made Head of Bogor City`s Health Office Triawan Elan deeply concerned.

"We have asked local residents, who find chickens suddenly die not to throw them into the rivers but to burn them," Triawan Elan said recently.

He warned that the threats of bird flu viruses remained real after tens of chickens in Caparigi suburb suddenly died.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), avian influenza or "bird flu" is a contagious disease of animals caused by viruses that normally infect only birds and, less commonly, pigs.

The WHO has warned that the infection with avian influenza viruses could spread very rapidly through poultry flocks.

Indonesia has 33 provinces. Only three have been confirmed free from the threat of bird flu viruses.

Indonesia has been dealing with bird flu since 2005. However, the H5N1 type influenza is also known to have attacked chicken and birds in other Asian countries, such as Thailand, Cambodia, China, and Vietnam.
