1. (U) Summary: On March 23, Burma's Livestock Breeding and 
Veterinary Department (LBVD) reported that the birds found 
dead at a quail farm in Hmaw Bi Township in Rangoon Division 
tested positive for Influenza type A.  The farm owner 
requested the destruction of the birds before confirmation of 
AI, and officials culled all remaining quail, as well as 
ducks and chickens at neighboring farms.  Administrative, 
police and industry association personnel helped authorities 
enforce restrictions on the movement of poultry-related 
products from affected areas.  The GOB has reported no 
confirmed human cases.  On March 23, officials from the 
animal and human health sectors presented an update on the 
current AI situation to almost 100 members of the 
international community.  End summary. 
 
Official Actions 
---------------- 
2. (SBU) On March 22, LBVD responded to reports of quail 
deaths at a farm in Hmaw Bi Township in Rangoon Division. 
The farm is located in the same Township as the March 17 and 
18 outbreak.  The LBVD did not wait for lab results, and 
culled the remaining 3,000 quail, as well as 125 chickens and 
54 ducks at neighboring farms, as a disease prevention 
measure.  The Myanmar Livestock Federation sent volunteers to 
help the culling and disinfecting teams.  Since the disease 
was not confirmed, authorities did not plan to report it to 
OIE. 
 
3. (U) Authorities strictly enforced the ban on the movement 
of poultry-related products from the controlled areas around 
the affected farms.  Police, together with township Peace and 
Development Council authorities and Livestock Federation 
personnel, reinforced LBVD inspectors at the cargo inspection 
gates leaving Rangoon.  The Yangon City Development Council 
(YCDC) distributed a leaflet, "Imposing Discipline at the 
Chicken Market," to poultry traders and provided 
sterilization tanks to poultry markets to use for waste that 
was previously tossed into nearby streams. 
 
Briefing for International Community 
------------------------------------ 
 4. (U) At a session hosted by WHO on March 23, Ministry of 
Health, LBVD, and WHO officials described the current AI 
situation to over 100 representatives from diplomatic 
missions, INGOs, and UN agencies.  LBVD Advisor Dr. Than Hla 
gave a briefing on recent poultry outbreaks and suggested the 
probable source was wild birds.  On March 27, the government 
newspaper reported that LBVD had tested most of the 324 wild 
birds found dead during the previous month, and all but six 
had died of causes other than AI.  The article stated that 
LBVD suspected that, of the tested birds, six crows may have 
been infected with AI.  The article continued that LBVD found 
no trace of AI in 75 dead chickens and 22 dead geese sent 
from poultry farms in the affected areas. 
 
5. (U) The Ministry of Health (MOH) presenter, Dr. Soe Lwin 
Nyein, Deputy Director of the Central Epidemiology Unit, said 
the MoH previously had 955 people under surveillance in the 
outbreak areas, but has cleared 479.  It will maintain 
surveillance on the remaining 476 people, mainly responders 
and residents.  Two suspected cases, a 50-year old male 
responder and another patient who died on March 22 in the 
district hospital in Meiktila, near Mandalay, have proven 
 
RANGOON 00000315  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
negative for AI.  Rapid Response Teams went to Meiktila and 
discovered no outbreak in poultry. 
 
6. (U)  Dr. Soe Lwin Nyein said that the MoH required daily 
reporting from all hospitals, whether or not they have any 
suspected cases.  He then gave out contact numbers for the 
MoH's Rangoon Division Response Department to report 
suspected AI cases, and a number in Nay Pyi Taw for the 
central response office.  Kanokporn Coninx, WHO AI 
Coordinator, described the international response to Burma's 
AI outbreak and expressed gratitude for USAID's assistance to 
WHO and FAO.  Two expatriate doctors then gave a general 
briefing about AI in humans.
