STOP BIRD FLU!!!
The avian influenza virus ravaging poultry in some countries now and death of humans in other countries, have been linked to migratory birds that harbor the virus.The interaction of the migratory birds/ waterfowl/game birds with the domestic birds results in the fulminating HPAI infection.
The virus is spread from bird to bird and flock to flock by direct/indirect contact with droppings & secretions and contaminated feed/water. The virus can be stopped by practicing basic bio security protocol, isolation and hand hygiene.
The virus can be stopped in the following ways; 1) Curb smuggling of exotic birds into the country.
2) Strict custom regulations concerning import of poultry products/ birds from countries battling with the virus.
3)Enhanced bio-security in farms, live bird markets,and slaughter houses.
4)Avoid contact with infected carcasses and proper disposal of affected birds.
5)Active surveillance of farms/live bird markets/slaughter houses.
6) Early diagnosis and commencement of treatment using Tamiflu,in human subjects.
7)Mass sensitization of citizens on the virus, its mode of spread,signs of infection, and prevention strategies.
8)Hand washing policy in daily activities, the importance should be emphasized to the citizens.
9)Wear protective clothing if you work with birds.
10)wear mask,gloves if you work in an hospital,attending to infected humans.
