  • "When you have a few outbreaks or when the disease arrives in a new country, the proper strategy is culling and increased biosecurity," said Dr. Joseph Domenech, chief veterinarian at the Food and Agriculture Organization here. "But there are places where that won't work, and there the vaccine becomes an indisputable tool."

  • On the Nigeria policies.....

    Culling and the application of bio-security measures alone may not stop the spread of the virus," said Joseph Domenech, FAO's chief veterinary officer, in a statement Wednesday at the U.N. agency's Rome headquarters.
    ......
    "The highly pathogenic avian influenza virus poses a very serious threat to animal health in West Africa. If a poultry epidemic should develop beyond the boundaries of Nigeria, the effects would be disastrous for the livelihoods and the food security of millions of people," said Domenech during a visit to Nigeria last week.

  • On the Indonesian outbreaks....

    In the meantine Food and Agricutural Organization (FAO)`s husbandry office chairman Joseph Domenech said in New York on Tuesday countries should prepare avian influenza vaccine in a bid to contain the bird flu illness.

    He said compensation for poultry farmers is an effective way to prevent the disease from spreading.

    Without the incentive, people might hid their sick poultry and later sell them, he said.

    “There is ample evidence that the Nigerian bird flu situation is difficult and worrisome,” said Joseph Domenech, FAO’s Chief Veterinary Officer.

    “The movement and trade of poultry have strongly contributed to the further spread of the virus. The government has taken the right measures such as culling in outbreak areas and biosecurity controls, but the authorities are facing immense difficulties to enforce controls,” Domenech said.

    “Considering the possible widespread entrenchment of the disease in poultry, FAO is advising the government to prepare for a targeted vaccination campaign. Culling and the application of biosecurity measures alone may not stop the spread of the virus,” he added.

    .....

    “The close coordination of control activities and the need for a central chain of command at the level of the federal Chief Veterinary Officer and between the regional states are crucial,” Domenech said.

    .....

    “Compensating farmers for the loss of their animals is another important tool to encourage early reporting of outbreaks and for effective application of control measures. Without financial incentives, people will probably continue to hide outbreaks and sell infected poultry,” Domenech said.

  • An H5 subtype of the avian influenza virus was reported in birds in Afghanistan and Myanmar, Joseph Domenech, chief veterinary officer with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, said today. The H5N1 strain was reported over the weekend in a farmed duck in northern Cameroon.


    ``The disease is spreading because of trade, but originally most probably because of wild'' migratory birds, Domenech said by phone from Rome. ``We hope to know the cause later, but now we have to support the countries as much possible'' in controlling the movement of infected birds, he said.

    "In 2004 we said it will be an international crisis if we don‘t stop it in Asia, and this is exactly what is happening two years later," said Joseph Domenech, head of FAO‘s Animal Health Service.
    "We were asking for emergency funds and they never came. We are constantly late."
