Viewing cable 06TOKYO1397, AVIAN INFLUENZA: JAPAN WEEKLY REPORT MARCH 16

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #06TOKYO1397.

1. The following is an update on avian influenza (AI) 
developments in Japan for the period March 9 to March 16. 
No human or animal outbreaks of H5N1 avian influenza were 
reported in Japan during the past week. 
 
-- Tests on Migratory Birds Negative for HPAI -- 
 
2. The Ministry of Environment (MOE) announced on March 14 
that to date, it has not detected highly pathogenic H5 and 
H7 avian influenza (HPAI) in migratory birds since it began 
testing in 2004.  Starting from September 2005, MOE has 
conducted tests for the virus on 700 birds collected from 9 
different areas including Chiba, Ibaraki, Nagasaki, 
Niigata, Fukushima and Okinawa prefectures.  The Ministry 
did confirm the presence of the H6 low pathogenic avian 
influenza (LPAI) virus in the excrement of 21 swans from 
the Niigata City area last December, but there have been no 
positive results for LPAI in any other migratory birds 
since then.  MOE plans to continue the tests. 
 
- Nagasaki University links up with Vietnam's NIHE on AI - 
 
3. Nagasaki University has agreed to cooperate with 
Vietnam's National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology 
(NIHE) in Hanoi to better understand the infection 
mechanism of diseases such as avian influenza.  As part of 
the collaborative effort, the University has acquired 
research space at NIHE, and plans to hold an opening 
ceremony on March 17.  Nagasaki University will dispatch a 
professor of virology and a professor of bacteriology to be 
resident at the Institute.  The collaboration is part of 
the Ministry of Education, Sports, Culture, Science and 
Technology's (MEXT) new Infectious Diseases Research 
Network (explained further in reftel D).  Nagasaki 
University plans to focus its efforts on studying avian 
influenza.  The University will isolate the virus from 
patients' blood samples and based on the data acquired, 
will research the structure of infection, preventative 
measures and the development of new treatment methods. 
(For further information on this link up, please refer to 
reftel C paras 6-9). 
 
4. EST FSN confirmed with MEXT's Life Sciences Division 
that Tokyo University's Institute for Medical Sciences and 
Osaka University's Research Institute for Microbial 
Diseases are also working to establish joint research 
centers and increase tie-ups in China and Thailand, 
respectively.  Osaka University has been working in 
Thailand since August of last year, and Tokyo University 
plans to open shared research space in China starting this 
May. 
 
-- Research Team Develops Method to Detect H-t-H AI -- 
 
5. A joint research team from Shizuoka University, the 
University of Shizuoka and the Yamasa Corporation has 
announced that it has developed a method to detect human-to- 
human transmissible pandemic influenza at an early stage. 
The new method, which identifies changes in the avian 
influenza virus's structure, is 50 times more sensitive 
than currently available methods.  The team will cooperate 
with the National Institute of Infectious Diseases (NIID) 
to evaluate the method's performance in order to be able to 
use it for surveillance in affected areas.
