10 Feb 2012

Vietnam is at a high risk of a large-scale outbreak of bird flu without drastic preventive measures in the near future, the country’s Department of Animal Health has warned.
該國的動物衛生部門已發出警告,越南遭受高風險的大規模禽流感爆發,但在不久的將來卻沒有激烈的預防措施。
Bird flu has been reported in four communes in three provinces of Quang Tri, Thanh Hoa and Soc Trang over the past month, affecting nearly 1,700 poultry and forcing the killing of more than 4,000 domestic fowls, said the department’s deputy head Pham Van Dong at a meeting of the Steering Committee for Bird Flu Prevention and Control.
禽流感在過去一個月已在廣三、清化和朔莊三省的四個公社報告,影響近1,700隻家禽並迫使4,000多隻本地家禽被殺,部門的副主管範範董在預防和控制禽流感督導委員會會議說。
A number of poultry suspected of catching the disease have started to appear in other localities such as Nghe An, Bac Lieu, Kien Giang, Ha Noi and Thai Nguyen. The outbreak has also resulted in two human deaths in the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta’s Soc Trang and Kien Giang Provinces.
一個數量的家禽被懷疑染上疾病,已經開始出現在其它地方如堅江、薄寮、義安、河內和泰國阮。爆發亦已導致兩宗人類死亡,在長龍江(湄公河)三角洲的朔莊和堅江省。
The Health Ministry warned of a possible large-scale outbreak of bird flu if the three affected provinces could not keep the disease under control while unfavourable weather conditions, transport and slaughtering of poultry posed a high risk.
衛生部警告如果三個受災省份不能控制疾病,會有一場可能的禽流感大規模爆發,儘管不利的天氣情況、運輸和屠殺家禽帶來了高風險。
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development urged localities to immediately vaccinate poultry, increase supervision and tighten management of farms, businesses, markets and slaughtering houses.
Minister Cao Duc Phat ordered cities and provinces across the country to take urgent measures to prevent a resurgence of bird flu.

A mutation of the H5N1 virus has been discovered in the northern region and existing vaccines do not offer protection against the mutant strain, Hoang Van Nam, head of the Animal Health Department, warned. The ministry has called on related agencies to quickly find a new vaccine to replace the existing one.
