Bird flu has killed at least 60 people in Southeast Asia and Central Asia. Following the outbreak of bird flu in 45 areas in Russia last month, Bulgaria announced on the 26th that it had confirmed the bird flu epidemic that has been confirmed by experts. Finland also announced similar suspected outbreaks on the same day. At present, seasonal changes have led to a large number of migratory birds, and airborne channels have caused particular concern to France.
On the 30th, the French Prime Minister De Villepin convened an emergency cabinet meeting to analyze the current epidemic, strengthen the information and notification system, and adjust the government's anti-bird flu plan passed in October last year. The meeting decided to take immediate measures to guard against the outbreak of bird flu in France. De Villepin said that France should make early preparations when the epidemic is coming.
The production of bird flu vaccines and therapeutic drugs is a top priority for France. The government requires vaccine reserves to reach 140 million at the end of the year or early next year and is expected to meet the demand of 14 million people. In February last year, France’s reserves were only 130,000. In addition, disinfection and personal protective equipment, such as masks, have also received much attention. France decided to have 200 million masks in early next year.
In the area of ​​transportation, France will strengthen its quarantine and inspection of international airports, with emphasis on passengers from the Asian epidemic areas. Experts point out that the chance of bird flu being brought into France by people may be greater than that of migratory birds. In addition, the government does not loosen control over the agricultural sector, which strictly requires poultry farmers to implement indoor enclosures. The source of feed for farmers is also heavily regulated. However, recreational anglers have to face restrictions and their bait quality and sources must be regulated.
In addition, the government also divides and defines easily infected people, and stipulates that vaccines for prevention will be given priority to personnel in the medical and health sector, powerful departments, emergency rescue, public services, and transportation, communications, and some military enterprises. Including the elderly and the frail and sick. In addition, France also gives special consideration to the personnel of its embassies and consulates abroad.
According to reports, there is currently no effective vaccine for the latest bird flu virus in France, and for each change of viral genes, the French scientific research department must carry out several months of research and preparation.
In recent years, the bird flu virus has been re-introduced by poultry after multiple mutations, and has rapidly mutated and evolved. More than 10 gene recombinations have occurred. To this end, President Chirac suggested working with WHO at the United Nations Development Conference to be held in mid-September to call on all countries to strengthen research cooperation in this area and jointly resist the "invasion" of bird flu. According to reports, only 40 countries in the world currently mobilize and take effective preventive measures against bird flu.
The Finnish National Institute of Veterinary and Food Research reported on the 31st that the preliminary test results showed that the suspected bird flu virus recently found in seagulls in Oulu, the northern city of Finland, is not a H5 or H7 avian influenza virus that causes serious damage to poultry and humans. .
The head of the Virology Research Unit at the Institute of Veterinary and Food Research, Lisa Sikhonionen, said that according to the preliminary results of the Institute, it is possible to rule out the possibility that the suspected bird flu virus found in Finland is H5 or H7. Since this inspection has not yet been completed, it is impossible to finally determine what kind of virus these gulls carry, but it may be a very contagious bird flu virus that is common in wild birds.
The Institute revealed that in recent days, nearly 200 dead seagulls have been found in the city of Oulu. These gulls are starved to death due to common bacterial infections and inability to feed. The institute is currently sampling samples from poultry and birds in the city of Oulu and its vicinity to determine if there is any new suspected bird flu virus.
Finland discovers weak infectious bird flu virus France prepares actively
"In the face of the growing threat of bird flu, international cooperation is indispensable." President Chirac met with the WHO Director-General Lee Jong-wook yesterday at the Elysée Palace and said that France is willing to work closely with WHO to prepare for bird flu.
