February 9, 2011 - CAMBODIA – PHNOM PENH — A five-year-old Cambodian girl has died from bird flu, the World Health Organisation said Wednesday, in the first reported fatality from the virus since early last year. The girl fell ill in the capital Phnom Penh on January 30 and was taken to hospital with symptoms of coughing and shortness of breath, a joint statement from Cambodia and the UN’s public health arm said. She died on February 4. “Despite intensive medical care, the girl died 12 hours after admission from complications,” it said. The child is the 11th person in the country to become infected with the H5N1 virus and ninth to die since 2003. Cambodia said it was working to identify her close contacts and “to initiate preventive treatment as required.” Health Minister Mam Bun Heng urged people with respiratory infections who had been in “contact with dead or sick poultry to promptly seek medical attention.” According to the statement, the H5N1 avian influenza strain has killed more than 300 people worldwide since 2003.

February 24, 2011 - PHNOM PENH, (Kyodo) – Cambodia announced Wednesday that a 19-year-old woman and her 11-month-old son died from the H5N1 strain of bird flu, bringing to three the country’s death toll from the virus this month. A joint statement released by the Cambodian Health Ministry and the World Health Organization said the woman died on Feb. 12 and the boy on Feb. 17, adding they contracted the virus from eating and preparing sick poultry while visiting relatives. The two lived in Banteay Meanchey Province, some 400 kilometers northwest of the capital Phnom Penh. A 5-year-old girl from Phnom Penh died on Feb. 4 as a result of respiratory complications from H5N1. The virus normally spreads between sick poultry but it can sometimes spread from poultry to humans. -Malaysian Sun

ROME — The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) on Monday warned about a new mutant strain of the deadly bird flu H5N1 virus in China and Vietnam, saying there could be a "major resurgence" of the disease.

The Rome-based organisation said it was concerned about "the appearance in China and Vietnam of a variant virus able to sidestep the defences provided by existing vaccines," adding that the new strain was known as H5N1 - 2.3.2.1.

"Virus circulation in Vietnam poses a direct threat to Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia as well as endangering the Korean peninsula and Japan," it said, warning that the virus could be spread beyond Asia by wild bird migration.

It called for "heightened readiness and surveillance against a possible major resurgence" of the virus, which developed into a pandemic in 2009.

The UN's World Health Organisation says 565 people have been infected since the deadly H5N1 strain first appeared and 331 of them have died as a result.

FAO said the latest death occurred earlier this month in Cambodia, which has registered eight cases of human infection this year -- all of them fatal.

"This is no time for complacency. No one can let their guard down with H5N1," Juan Lubroth, FAO's chief veterinary officer, was quoted as saying.

"The general departure from the progressive decline observed in 2004-2008 could mean that there will be a flare-up of H5N1 this fall and winter, with people unexpectedly finding the virus in their backyard," he said.

FAO said that the areas recently affected by deadly bird flu also included Bulgaria, Israel, Mongolia, Nepal, the Palestinian Territories and Romania.
