Bird Flu Spreads to Far Western China By AUDRA ANG, Associated
Press Writer
Fri Nov 25, 6:17 AM ET
BEIJING - China on Thursday announced the spread
of bird flu to a far western region, while
Indonesia reported its first outbreak of the virus
in the tsunami-ravaged Aceh province where
hundreds of chickens have died from the disease.
The Nov. 17 outbreak in Turpan, a city in
China's Xinjiang region, killed
11 birds and prompted the destruction of 5,180 more, the official
Xinhua News Agency reported, citing the
Agriculture Ministry.
News of the outbreak China's 21st in recent
weeks came a day after the country confirmed its second
human death from bird flu.
A 35-year-old farmer identified only by her surname,
Xu, died Tuesday after coming into contact with
infected poultry and developing a fever and pneumonia-like
symptoms, Xinhua said, citing the Health
Ministry.
The woman, who lived in Xiuning County in the
eastern province of Anhui, tested positive for the
deadly H5N1 strain of the
virus, Xinhua said.
The area is about 60 miles northwest of Zongyang
County, where the country's first human bird flu death was reported
24-year-old poultry farmer who died Nov. 10.
China has confirmed one other human bird flu case,
a 9-year-old boy who recovered.
Bird flu has killed more than 100 million birds in Asia since 2003,
and has jumped to humans, killing at least 67 people in the region,
according to the World Health Organization. The WHO figures did not
include the latest death in China.
Experts have warned the virus may mutate into a form that is easily
passed between people and trigger a global
pandemic.
China's outbreaks have caused alarm across the
world, including in the tiny Caribbean nation of Trinidad and
Tobago, which halted a shipment of Chinese feathers to be used on
costumes in annual carnival celebrations.
There was no indication the feathers were contaminated, but the
shipping container was being held at the country's port until
another vessel could return it to China, officials
said Thursday.
Meanwhile, Indonesia's Agriculture Ministry said
chickens have been infected with
H5N1 in at least three districts in
Aceh, where tens of thousands of survivors of the
Dec. 26 tsunami still live in crowded refugee camps.
Hundreds of chickens have died, said Sjamsul
Bahri, the ministry's director of animal health.
He said bird flu has now been found in 23 of
Indonesia's 30 provinces. The virus has killed
seven people in Indonesia.
In Vietnam, the country hardest-hit by the
disease, a 15-year-old boy from the northern port city of
Haiphong tested positive for
H5N1. He was hospitalized and expected to recover,
said Nguyen Van Binh, deputy director of the
Ministry of Health's Preventive Medicine Department.
The Tourism Administration of Vietnam ordered tour
operators not to take foreigners near areas where bird flu
outbreaks have been reported, said Vu The Binh,
director of the central Tourism Department.
Most major hotels and restaurants in Vietnam have
stopped serving poultry.
But Binh said bird flu has not yet affected the
country's tourism industry, with at least 3 million foreign
arrivals this year.
Also Thursday, the state-run China Daily newspaper
reported that China was "within days" of testing a
bird flu vaccine on 100 people between the ages of 18 to 60.
If approved, the vaccine will first be given to high-risk groups,
such as veterinary and laboratory workers and poultry farmers in
infected areas, Lu Zhenyou, a spokesman for
Sinovac Biotech, one of the developers, was quoted as saying.
There are currently no human vaccines against the virus, although
the drug Tamiflu is one of the few believed effective in treating
it.
China had tried to be aggressive and open in
dealing with bird flu after coming under criticism for being
reticent during the 2003 outbreak of severe acute respiratory
syndrome, or SARS.
Japan's Asahi
Shimbun newspaper, meanwhile, reported that the
country's prefectures, or states, only had enough stockpiles of the
anti-flu drug Tamiflu for 37,400 people less than 1 percent of
the Health Ministry's recommendation.
Five of Japan's 47 prefectures reported having no
stockpiles, while a sixth did not release information, the
newspaper said.
The ministry's bird flu action plan calls for prefectures to be
able to treat 10.5 million people.
Local officials cited cost as one reason for the small stockpiles,
the Asahi said.
Bird flu hit Japan last year for the first time in
decades. There has been one confirmed human case, although nobody
has died.
