Viewing cable 06ABUJA1359, JUNE 6 NIGERIA AVIAN FLU UPDATE

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. #06ABUJA1359.

ABUJA 00001359  001.2 OF 002 
 
1. (U) Summary.  Nigeria experienced continued outbreaks of 
AI in Kano and Bauchi States in May, though the GON has not 
reported on these in detail.  Some of these occurrences 
possibly were reinfections on poultry farms whose owners 
restocked too quickly and without carrying out proper 
decontamination procedures; the majority were likely 
infections from contaminated farms.  At least 97 poultry 
flocks in Kano State have been culled.  Nigeria's small 
poultry farmers likely will continue restocking their farms 
prematurely -- without waiting the required three months -- 
because they fear they are unlikely to be compensated for 
their losses.  The GON acknowledged that despite existing 
procedures, there are "still haphazard arrangements about 
allocating responsibility for specific actions" once an AI 
outbreak is identified.  End summary. 
 
2. (U) Nigeria experienced continued outbreaks of the avian 
influenza (AI) in Kano and Bauchi States in May, although 
the Government of Nigeria (GON) has not reported these in 
detail.  The Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) reported May 22 
that AI outbreaks continued in Kano and Bauchi States -- and 
that these occurrences were reinfections on poultry farms 
caused by improper biosecurity. 
 
Details on Outbreak in Kano State 
---------------------------------- 
 
3. (U) There is conflicting information on the cause of at 
least one outbreak in Kano State.  The Pan-African Program 
for the Control of Epizootics (PACE) coordinator at the MOA 
told the Lagos consulate agricultural attache on June 2 that 
"secondary infections" occurring in Kano and Bauchi States 
probably were contaminated farms infecting other farms, 
rather than premature restocking.  These secondary 
infections thus constitute breaches of biosecurity.  There 
was a substantial outbreak of AI on a large commercial farm 
of approximately 16,000 birds outside Kano City.  This 
outbreak became evident on May 13, but the farm's owner did 
not report it until May 18.  Federal and state animal 
surveillance did not detect the outbreak in the previous 
five days, and on May 18 a news report about the farm 
appeared on the Internet.  This Internet report alerted the 
GON to the outbreak; as of May 18, no report had been made 
to the Department of Livestock by the Kano State veterinary 
service or by the PACE/National Animal Disease Information 
and Surveillance System component of the MOA.  All birds on 
the farm were killed by H5N1 or were culled.  The probable 
cause of this outbreak, according to the PACE coordinator, 
was a breach in biosecurity.  On May 22, the Nigerian 
Veterinary Research Institute at Vom confirmed H5N1 in 
samples from the farm's poultry.  At least 97 poultry flocks 
in Kano State have been culled. 
 
4. (SBU) An official with the UK Department for 
International Development was in Kano in the week of May 22- 
26 and said based on his observations that "restocking is 
continuing at infected farms."  The owner of the 
aforementioned infected farm in Kano told him she was 
vaccinating her birds.  She had not received compensation 
for her losses.  According to the agricultural attache, Kano 
officials carried out no perimeter-control measures such as 
culling birds within a 5-km radius of the infected farm, 
thus making a nearby reinfection likely.  It is likely that 
Nigeria's small poultry farmers will continue restocking 
their farms prematurely -- without waiting the required 
three months -- because they fear they may not be 
compensated for their losses. 
 
Bauchi State and Plateau State outbreaks 
---------------------------------------- 
 
5. An outbreak was reported on May 18 on a poultry farm 
within Bauchi City.  The flock consisted of 193 birds, and 
the MOA carried out culling and decontamination operations 
on May 18.  The MOA is currently investigating three farms 
in Jos.  On the three farms, on May 29, two birds of 700 
died, two out of 800 birds died, and 160 of the 461 birds 
 
ABUJA 00001359  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
died, respectively.  Test results on birds from the Jos 
farms are pending. 
 
6. The GON acknowledged on May 22 that despite standard 
operating procedures, there are "still haphazard 
arrangements about allocating responsibility for specific 
actions" once an AI outbreak is identified.  Despite 
Nigeria's multiple outbreaks of AI in the second half of 
May, the GON's AI Crisis Management Center has not issued a 
news bulletin since May 5.
