4 Why Bangkok is at Risk of AI transmission Sprawling cross-road area with 10 millions population High density of the inhabitants and high turnover rates of both human and animal population First entry point for foreigners and tourists traveling into Thailand, including poultry imported for domestic trading

5 Location of Live Bird Market in Bangkok

6 Types and places of poultry purchased at Live Poultry Market in Bangkok District Types of Poultry Places of Poultry (Provinces or countries) Bang Rak Chickens Nakhon Pathom, Bangkok Samphan thawong Chickens Nakhon Pathom, Nakhon Nayok, Bangkok Rat Burana Chickens Phetchaburi Khlong Toei Chickens, Ducks, Geese Nakhon Pathom, Phetchaburi, Ratchaburi, Chachoengsao, Ang Thong, Chon Buri Pom Prap Sattru Chickens, Ducks, Samut Sakhon Phai Geese Bangkok Noi Pet birds a Bangkok Min Buri Pet birds a Bangkok, Samut Prakan, Chachoengsao, Phetchaburi Thawi Watthana Pet birds a Bangkok, Ang Thong, Samut Sakhon, Chachoengsao, Nakhon Pathom, Kanchanaburi, Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, Philippines Chatuchak Pet birds a 18 provinces

8 Thailand avian influenza situation in human Cumulative number of human confirm Avian influenza 25 case, 17 death in Thailand since * - Distribute in 18 province of Thailand (18/77; 23%) No confirm Avian influenza case and death in Thailand since 2007 until now * 8

9 Risk of AI transmission in Bangkok Cumulative number of human There was reported confirm AI case in human in Bangkok 2005 Previous study found AI (H5N1) in live bird market, central part of Thailand Lack of the data amount of shop in Bangkok Most well known market such as Chatuchak live bird market receive live bird from other province Unknown vaccine coverage among live bird vendors in Bangkok 9

10 The organization responsibility to detect avian influenza by type of bird in Thailand since 2004 Bird type Wild bird Farm bird Organization responsibility for surveillance disease Department of national park, wildlife and plants conservation (DNP) Department of livestock development (DLD) Year started 2004* 2004** Zoo bird Zoological park organization 2004*** Live bird in live bird market No surveillance system - 10

11 Why surveillance in LBMs is important to detect disease? LBMs play a crucial role in the maintenance, amplification and dissemination of avian influenza viruses Considered high risk locations for potential zoonotic transmission of influenza viruses to humans Control measures in LBMs and along the market chain have been found to be effective for reducing the spread of H5N1 viruses 11

12 Objectives To determine knowledge about avian influenza among bird To determine vaccine coverage among bird vendors in Bangkok, November 2013 To identify H7N9 and other avian influenza viruses in live poultry, environmental samples and live poultry serum in live poultry markets in Bangkok ( ) 12

36 Total number of specimen collected by type of shop in Bangkok, Specimen collection technique year Oropharyngeal swab 834 1, Serum Fresh feces 410 1, Drinking water and Waste water 36

37 Discussion (1) No sample were positive for avian influenza A virus. However, influenza A virus subtypes H4N6, H4N9 and H10N3 was found in an active surveillance among avian species in a live bird market in Bangkok, in 2010 Having Trading license was different between two types of shops Consumption shop have higher proportion of having license than pet shop 37

38 Discussion (2) Vaccine coverage (20%) in shop staff is the same previous study in high risk group (> 65 years) conducted during (1) Should have high vaccine coverage ( > 70% ) in high risk group (2) 1) Owusu JT1 et al, Seasonal influenza vaccine coverage among high-risk populations in Thailand, Jan 29;33(5): doi: /j.vaccine Epub 2014 Nov 7. 2) 38

39 Discussion (3) The study found knowledge of human AI in both group similarly but look lower in consumption bird vendor like previous study done in rural Thailand before public education campaigns (1) Knowledge In topic Slaughtering sick/dead birds could get avian influenza infection was significant different and low in consumption shop - This should concern because of the shop have slaughter bird inside the shop have more high risk 1) Olsen SJ, Laosiritaworn Y, Pattanasin S, Prapasiri P, Dowell SF. Poultry-handling Practices during Avian Influenza Outbreak, Thailand. Emerging Infectious Diseases [Internet] October[cited 2015 Feb];11(10): Available from 39

40 Discussion (4) Percentage of attitude about concern avian influenza outbreak and infection of both groups are not high (<70%). This may come from they can protect themselves and avian influenza outbreak inhuman was not occur in Thailand since 2009(1) 1) berh5n1cases.pdf 40

41 Discussion (5) Poor practice in some topic was different and increase risk of expose avian influenza (1-2) Pet bird :movement their bird to their home when they cannot sold them Cost of bird Consumption bird : using disinfectant was low Consumption bird vendors know disease screening history than pet bird owner this may come from consumption bird have law to screen disease before movement or sold. 1) 2) 2http:// 41

42 Discussion (6) Television is the most effective source to disseminate avian influenza information as previous study in Thailand(1) and china (2). The consumption shop or more than 10 years operation shop or shop having trading license likely to provide adequate specimen however this study have some confounder to be find out 1) Olsen SJ, Laosiritaworn Y, Pattanasin S, Prapasiri P, Dowell SF.

48 Conclusion and Recommendation In Thailand, live poultry purchasing habits, poultry handling and living conditions increase the risk of exposure to avian influenza virus contaminated environments Although no virus was found, it is critical to maintain the level of biosecurity to prevent introduction of the virus - Control of poultry movement - Cleaning markets or shops - Quarantine areas at production locations - Designate fixed locations for slaughtering - Provide health education for shop owners and workers - Shop owners and workers receive influenza vaccination annually - Continue active surveillance programs in poultry, humans and the environment 48
