Bird flu outbreak in Jharkhand, 1 km radius affected zone, 10 km under surveillance 

H5N1 flu has been confirmed in Jharkhand's Bokaro district A total of 3,856 birds, including chickens and ducks, have been identified for culling in the affected area.

Nearly 4,000 birds, including chickens and ducks, will be culled in Jharkhand's Bokaro district after a bird flu outbreak was reported at a state-run poultry farm, an official said on Saturday.
H5N1, a type of avian influenza virus, was confirmed among a protein-rich breed of chicken, 'Kadaknath', at the farm in the Lohanchal where 800 birds died and 103 had to be culled, he said.
"A total of 3,856 birds, including chickens and ducks, have been identified for culling in the affected area -- 1 km radius of the farm," Institute of Animal Health &amp; Production director Dr Bipin Bihari Mahtha told PTI.
After birds started to die at the farm on February 2, samples were sent to the National Institute of High Security Animal Diseases in Bhopal for testing and the flu was confirmed, he said.
A process has been started to determine the compensation for the people whose chicken and ducks will be culled, he added.
The district administration has already declared areas within 1 km radius of the farm as the affected zone, while areas within 10 km radius have been declared surveillance zone. It also banned the sale of chicken and ducks in the district.
Additional Chief Secretary (Health) Arun Kumar Singh earlier said the state was on an alert.
A medical team was formed to monitor the border areas of the district, and for the sampling of chickens and ducks at large farms. Besides, it has also been asked to collect samples of people living in the affected zone.
A separate ward has been set up at the Sadar Hospital for people infected with bird flu.
Symptoms of the infection among humans include severe upper back pain, fever, cough, shortness of breath, cold and blood in the sputum, officials said.
The Animal Husbandry Department issued an advisory, urging people to inform it if they see dead birds.

The U.K. is facing its worst ever outbreak of avian influenza, with over 200 cases confirmed since October 2021 and millions of birds culled.
The mandatory measures, which come into force on Nov. 7, legally require all bird keepers to follow strict biosecurity rules to protect their birds, whether pets, commercial farm poultry or just a few birds in a backyard.

&ldquo;We are now facing this year the largest ever outbreak of bird flu and are seeing rapid escalation in the number of cases on commercial farms and in backyard birds across England," the U.K.'s chief veterinary officer, Christine Middlemiss, said in a statement.
&ldquo;The risk of kept birds being exposed to disease has reached a point where it is now necessary for all birds to be housed until further notice,&rdquo; she added.
The measures were already in force since late September in areas including Suffolk and Norfolk in eastern England.
Authorities say the risk to public health from the virus remains very low.
But the outbreak has led to concerns about the supply of turkeys for the Christmas season. Earlier this week, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs announced that turkey, geese or duck farmers can slaughter their flocks early, freeze then defrost them to be sold for Christmas to help ease the impact of the outbreak on their businesses.&nbsp;

China has reported the first known human case of the H3N8 bird flu after a four-year-old boy living in central Henan province tested positive for the strain.
China's National Health Commission on Tuesday said the boy had been hospitalised earlier in the month with a fever and other symptoms.
Chinese authorities have said that the boy's family raised chickens at home and lived in an area populated by wild ducks.
China's health agency said the boy's case is a 'one-off cross-species transmission, and the risk of large-scale transmission is low'.
It added that tests of the boy's close human contacts found 'no abnormalities'.
It has, however, asked public to stay away from dead or sick birds and seek immediate treatment for fever or respiratory symptoms.
H3N8 is known to have been circulating since 2002 after first emerging in North American waterfowl. It is known to infect horses, dogs and seals, but has not previously been detected in humans.
