H5N1 In Six More Areas In Assam India
Recombinomics Commentary 21:41
December 25, 2008

Sources told this correspondent here today that the new areas included Chalchaligaon Burhachawk village under Barhampur Development Block of Nagaon District, Bardulipara village under Tihu-Barama Development Block of Baksa District, Monahkuchi village under Hajo Development Block and Rangamati and Ourpakmoniaritiniali villages under Chayani-Barduwar Development Block of Kamrup district.

Moreover, the Central Government has also confirmed the outbreak of the disease among the poultry of Doloigaon Uzanpara village under Dhaligaon Development Block of Bongaigaon District.

The above comments describe confirmed H5N1 in six areas of Assam (see updated map).  Although H5N1 has been confirmed in these districts previously, the confirmations are in new areas within the districts and come after the culling of 400,000 birds in Assam, indicating the H5N1 is still spreading and more outbreaks are expected.

These areas cover much of the western portion of Assam, and were expect in view of the acceleration of confirmed outbreaks in northwestern Bangladesh as well as unnatural deaths in wild birds.  These confirmations also cast serious doubt on West Bengal claims that excessive poultry deaths in Malda and adjacent areas are due to Newcastle Disease.

Therefore, more outbreaks in West Bengal and adjacent areas are also expected.
