Kerala’s Alappuzha Fights Bird Flu with Swift Culling

Kerala’s Alappuzha district has encountered a bird flu surge within two panchayats after testing revealed the presence of avian influenza (H5N1) in duck samples, according to local officials.

Ducks from Edatva Panchayat’s Ward 1 Vilakkumaram farmland and Cheruthana Panchayat’s Ward 3 were tested at a Bhopal lab due to exhibiting flu-like symptoms. Lab results verified H5N1 strain’s prevalence in the samples.

In response, the government has initiated a thorough strategy. The district’s governance convened an emergency review to assess the situation.

The district collector has mandated culling domestic birds within a one-kilometer radius of the epicenter. The animal welfare department is mobilizing resources, with a Rapid Action Force organized to handle the crisis.

Officials urged calm among the populace, confirming minimal risk of human transmission at this time.

Understanding Bird Flu: Bird flu, or avian influenza, is a virus predominantly affecting birds. It may occasionally transfer to humans, typically those in close proximity to infected birds.

Symptoms: Common signs include cough, sore throat, nasal discharge, body aches, headaches, respiratory issues, and gastrointestinal distress. These symptoms often intensify within two to eight days.

Preventative Measures: Individuals working closely with poultry should wear gloves and sanitize areas where raw poultry is stored.
