Hong Kong bird reserve closed after H5N1 case

 

Last Updated: 2007-12-14 10:01:47 -0400 (Reuters Health)

HONG KONG (Reuters Life!) - A wild heron in Hong Kong has tested positive for the H5N1 bird flu virus, prompting authorities to close a bird reserve on the border with China on Friday.

Hong Kong's Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department said the grey heron, a migratory species, was found sick on December 5 near the reserve. It later died and tests confirmed it was infected with the H5N1 avian influenza.

"As a precautionary measure, the Mai Po Nature Reserve will be temporarily closed to visitors for 21 days," Hong Kong's Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department said in a statement.

"We will monitor the situation closely and review the closure period as necessary," it added.

A 24-year-old Chinese man surnamed Lu from eastern Jiangsu province died last week of the H5N1 strain of bird flu in the first case in China since June.

Chinese state media have warned of a "very high" possibility of bird flu over winter and spring.

Mai Po and its lush wetlands straddling the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, have for decades been an important wintering point for tens of thousands of waterbirds.

WHO confirms Myanmar's first human case of bird flu

Last Updated: 2007-12-14 13:00:56 -0400 (Reuters Health)

GENEVA - The World Health Organisation (WHO) on Friday confirmed Myanmar's first human case of bird flu in a seven year-old girl who survived the disease.

The United Nations agency, in a statement, said that the girl in Shan state developed symptoms on Nov. 21 in an area where there had been an outbreak of the H5N1 virus in poultry, and was hospitalised six days later. "She has now recovered."

Samples taken from the girl were confirmed as having the virus at a WHO laboratory in Japan after first testing positive at a laboratory in Yangon, the WHO said.
