STATUS of the Avian Influenza in the country

<\/div>\n

Avian Influenza (AI) viruses have been circulating worldwide for centuries with 4 known major outbreaks recorded in the last century. India notified the first outbreak of avian influenza in 2006. Infection in humans is not yet found in India though the disease is zoonotic. There is no direct evidence that AI viruses can be transmitted to humans via the consumption of contaminated poultry products. Implementing management practices that incorporate bio security principles, personal hygiene, and cleaning and disinfection protocols, as well\u00a0 as cooking and processing standards, are effective means of controlling the spread of the AI viruses. In India, the disease spreads mainly by the migratory birds coming into India during the winter from September to October to February and March. The secondary spread by human handling (through fomites) cannot be ruled out.<\/p>\n

In view of a threat of global outbreak of AI, the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAHD), Government of India had prepared an action plan in 2005 which was revised in 2006, 2012 , 2015 and 2021 for guidance of State Government for prevention, control and containment of Avian Influenza in the Country (refer DAHD website\u00a0https:\/\/dahd.nic.in\/sites\/default\/filess\/Action%20Plan%20-%20as%20on23.3.15.docx-final.pdf10.pdf<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Following\u00a0post operation surveillance plan (POSP) after completion of Avian Influenza outbreak control in 2020 and containment operation at different epicenters,\u00a0the country freedom from AI was declared w.e.f. 30th<\/sup>September 2020.<\/p>\n

In view of the past experience regarding the reports of the disease in winter season,\u00a0 advisories have been told to all states\/UTs before commencement of winter for keeping necessary vigil, enhancing surveillance, keeping strategic reserves of supplies (PPE kits, etc.), preparedness to handle eventualities and IEC for public awareness. Other support provided by the Department to the States\/UTs include<\/p>\n

Technical support from referral lab i.e. ICAR-NIHSAD, Bhopal Funding support to States\/UTs to undertake culling and compensation.Funding to states under ASCAD scheme Training of veterinary work force. Support for strengthening RDDLs \/ CDDL. The last preparatory advisory \/ communication was issued to all States\/UTs on 22.10.2020.<\/p>\n
