BAKU (Reuters) - A dog has died of bird flu in Azerbaijan, a country where the virus is believed to have caused the death of three young women, officials said on Wednesday.

"A dead stray dog has been found, and after analysis type A bird flu was discovered. The medical investigation is continuing," said a statement from the state commission tasked with fighting the spread of bird flu. It said the dog died on March 9 in the capital Baku.


More species of mammals. Can't be a good thing.

The above post says that " a stray dog has been found" . I have seen several phrases similiar in various news articles over the last 3 weeks or so and it makes me wonder, everytime, just how many mammals have NOT been found.
Those who will not learn from history are condemned to repeat it.

Dogs and humans share many of the same ailments.  This is not good news. 

I also wonder how many dead or dying mammals have not been found or tested.  This is very sad news.  I have three dogs and two cats.  I can keep cats inside, but only one of the dogs.

Has Rick flipped? Did he not have breakfast this am. Is he thinking of a
culinary treat associated with our canine fellows? I hope not.

People are mamals.... if we can get BF from birds why wouldn't we expect that other mamals could get BF as well? This is no surprise and I don't think that it should make us think that BF is a step closer. It is sad that animals are getting sick but I'm sure we could all see that coming.... no?

RainBow,  it is not a surprise, I guess,  just a reminder that viruses  evolve a lot faster than we do.

I think Rick was trying to point out that dog is popular on the asian menu, just saw a bbc report on it a few days ago-so that's one more way for humans to get infected.

 The inter-species jumps are starting to concern me. If it was indeed a stray, it is possible that it fed on contaminated birds. However, I am in Minnesota and I am watching the migrating honkers (Canadian Geese) comeing up form the south. These birds fly nearly directly over the "mega hog farms" in Iowa. Being that swine are the ideal test tube for the virus recombination to an H2H variant, this is not a good thing.

Dogs share much less diseases with us than do mice!!!! Also pigs are closer, right?

No, I think dogs getting this is BAD, BAD, BAD. I think it's pretty rare to have a virus in cats, dogs, people and birds, isn't it?????

The more species that have it the worse it is! It proves it mutates easily and is impossible to imunize against. It spreads easier because the virus is being shed EVERYWHERE. BAD!

Don't forget weasels, or what ever that little creature is.

Regardless of WHAT animals get it, I think it is more important to look at HOW they got it. Of course the more animals that get infected the more chance of humans getting infected as well... but the fact that these animals are getting the virus from eating other infected animals (so they say) doesn't seem like that big of a deal. If a dog got the virus from a sick person or from another sick dog, then I would be concerned.

I am still puzzled why no one bothered to reply to my post about hundreds of living dogs and cats being found to carry H5N1 in Thailand in a 2004 scientific study.This information about cats and dogs being carriers has been known within the scientific community for years now. See my earlier post for sull research details and references.

On March 9, a stray dog from the village of Rasulzade (Binagadin District) was examined for bird flu in Azerbaijan. As a result of the examination, bird flu virus, A type, was found by the dog. As the State Committee on the Virus Dissemination Prevention informed, the research has continued.

The Azerbaijani Healthcare Ministry pays special attention to the residents of Salyan and Terter Districts who are suspected to be infected. Along with defining the reasons of the diseases in laboratory, which is held together with the World Health Organization, sanitary and quarantine measures are held in the places of potential virus dissemination, reports APA.

Viral fever claims many canines
Source: The Sangai Express

Imphal, March 01: Amid reports of several dogs
succumbing to viral fever in Nongmaikhong and Keibul areas, personnel
of Forest and Environment Department today conducted a massive search
at the periphery of Loktak Lake and Keibul Lamjao National Park to
ascertain whether the migratory birds which throng these areas are
carriers of the H5NI virus that causes avian influenza.

The checking and salvage operations were conducted under the
supervision of Deputy Conservator of Forest (Park and Sanctuary)
alongwith Range Forest Officers of Keibul Lamjao Th Bimol and I
Gopendro.

Other than large number of migratory birds feeding in their winter habitat
at Loktak Lake and Keibul Lamjao National Park there is no report of any
death of the migratory birds in the said sanctuaries, according to some
Department officials who took part in the bird flu scanning operations.
The officials also informed that Nongmaikhong and Keibul villagers have
informed that viral fever-like disease has claimed several
dogs in their respective areas while many other dogs are stricken with the
similar symptom.

When contacted for further inputs on the development, veterinary expert
Dr Ng Ibopishak said that there are instances when the
bird flu has affected domestic cats and explained that reports of dogs
suffering from runny tongue and nose before succumbing closely
resemble symptoms of viral flu infections.

He, however, maintained that coming to any conclusion without going
through the test and check procedures would be premature at the
juncture.

Villagers of the affected areas recounted that the victim
dogs with excessive signs of fluids in the hearing and tasting organs
lasted for only a week before succumbing to the mysterious disease.

The dogs die soon after quenching thirst, they maintained.

So far 20 dogs have died at Nongmaikhong with Keibul also recording
similar number of cases, informed the villagers.

It may be noted that carcasses of two Commorant bird species considered
to be carrier of the H5NI virus strain were recovered from near the
national park some months back.
