The study was undertaken to evaluate sensitivity and specificity of rapid Avian Influenza (AI) and Newcastle Disease virus (NDV) combo antigen kits from field samples of domestic (broiler and layer chicken, native chicken) and semi-domestic (duck, goose, pigeon and quail) birds of Bangladesh. Samples were collected from naturally infected AI suspected domestic and semi-domestic birds of five different outbreak areas in Bangladesh. From each area two birds were selected for sampling, and from each bird three types of samples (tracheal, cloacal and oro-nasal swabs) were collected. A total of 210 field samples from a total of 70 birds were collected and tested using AI and NDV combo antigen rapid diagnostic kits in the study. All three different samples from a bird showed similar pattern of reaction. Out of 210 samples, 15 samples (5 birds), 63 samples (21 birds) and 27 samples (9 birds) were positive for AIV, NDV and both for AIV and NDV, respectively; whereas the remaining birds were negative for either AIV or NDV in this screening test. Among the five AIV positive, a layer chicken from wet market in Mymensingh, Netrokona, Gibandha and Kurigram and a native chicken from wet market in Kurigram area was positive to AIV. The semi-domestic birds are either positive to NDV or free from both AIV and NDV. This study revealed that the AIV and NDV rapid diagnostic kits could be effectively use to diagnose the respective virus in trachea, oro-nasal and cloacal samples simultaneously. AIV-NDV combo Ag test result clearly indicates that the test kit designed for AIV and NDV could diagnose the disease rapidly with less effort and higher scientific know how which could be used for the detection of AIV and NDV using field samples in large scale.

농림축산식품부(장관 정황근, 이하 농식품부)는 겨울철 발생가능성이 높은 고병원성 조류인플루엔자(AI)를 포함한 가축전염병 발생과 확산을 차단하기 위해 올해 10월부터 내년 2월까지를 가축전염병 특별방역 대책기간으로 설정하고 가축전염병 방역 관리를 강화한다고 밝혔다. 올 겨울철에도 감염된 철새에 의해 고병원성 조류인플루엔자가 국내로 유입될 가능성이 높아 농식품부는 철새 방역관리, 농장내 유입 차단, 농장 간 수평전파 방지 등 3중 차단방역을 기본으로 위험수준에 비례한 차등화된 방역관리, 계열사 및 농장 책임 방역, 민간협업 등을 중점으로 추진한다. 올해 AI 위험도를 주변국 상황과 함께 검토하고 바뀐 방역정책 등을 점검해 본다.

Avian influenza viruses cause a considerable threat to humans and animals. In this study, we investigated whether alkaline disinfectant solution can inactivate H5N1, H3N2, H6N1, and H9N2 subtypes of avian influenza virus. When H5N1, H3N2, H6N1, and H9N2 avian influenza viruses were treated with alkaline solution diluted with PBS (pH 7.2) prior to infection into MDCK cells, alkaline disinfectant solution (at dilutions up to $10^{-2}$) completely inactivated all avian influenza subtypes tested. To confirm the inactivation of avian influenza viruses by alkaline disinfectant solution, we used an immunofluorescence assay with influenza A anti-nucleoprotein antibody and FITC-labeled secondary antibody to stain MDCK cells infected with avian H9N2 influenza viruses. No staining was observed in MDCK rells infected with H9N2 viruses that were pre-treated with a $10^{-2}$ dilution of alkaline disinfectant solution, while strong staining was observed in MDCK cells infected with H9N2 viruses without pre-treatment. Our results indicate that alkaline solution could help to control avian influenza viruses including the highly pathogenic H5N1 subtype.

Avian influenza (AI) is notorious for its rapid infection rate, and has a serious impact on consumers and producers alike, especially in poultry farms. The AI outbreak, which occurred nationwide at the end of 2016, devastated the livestock farming industries. As a result, the prices of eggs and egg products had skyrocketed, and the event was reported by the media with heavy emphasis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between the egg price fluctuation and the keyword changes in online news articles reflecting social issues. To this end, we analyzed 682 cases of AI-related online news articles for fourteen weeks from November 2016 in South Korea. The results of this study are expected to contribute to understanding the relationship between the actual price of eggs and the keywords from news articles related to social issues.

Objectives: Active participation of poultry breeder in surveillance system of Avian Influenza (AI) is very important. Therefore this study was conducted to present basis data for active report of AI that is affected by media's coverage in poultry breeder. Methods: Subjects were 88 persons, 28 who were poultry breeder at epidemic area of AI and 60 who were general person at non-epidemic area. Data were collected by the trained investigator from Jul. 1 to Aug. 31, 2008. Respondents were interviewed by means of a structured questionnaire. Results: The third-person effect among perceptions of influence in media's report on the AI was higher in breeder (32.1%) than in non-breeder (10.0%). However, Confidence to media report on the AI was lower in breeder than in non-breeder. Intention to report of the AI was 71.4% in breeder respectively, was 90.0% in non-breeder. There was statistically significant lower in breeder than non-breeder. The cause of avoidance of report was 'economic damage' for 87.5%, which acocounted for the majority of cases. Confidence to media report on the AI were positively correlated with concern on the AI and perception on seriousness of the AI, but negatively correlated with the third-person effect. Conclusions: These results showed that intention to report of the AI of breeder was susceptible to influenced by the third person effect and confidence in media's report on the AI. Therefore we should give a special attention to increase active report of poultry breeder during epidemic period of AI which is consideration of reasonable strategy of media's coverage, including mind and emotion state of poultry breeder.

본회는 그동안 상시체제로 운영되던 AI비상대책본부를 이달부터 내년 2월까지 5개월 동안 특별기간으로 설정해 운영키로 하였다. 정부는 물론 각 도지회와 긴밀한 협력체제를 유지해 방역을 철저히 하고 만의하나 국내에 유입될지도 모르는 고병원성 조류인플루엔자(HPAI)에 대한 즉각적인 퇴치를 위한 방책인 것이다. 우리나라는 지난 2003년 12월 빨생되었던 HPAI를 최단기간내에 종식시키고 청정지역을 확보하면서 가까운 일본은 물론 외국에까지 모범사례로 꼽힐 정도로 위기 대처능역이 뛰어나다는 평을 받았다. 그러나 항상 긴장의 끈을 놓아서는 안될 것이다. 정부에서도 11월부터 AI특별방역기간을 설정하여 운영할 채비를 하고 있다. 본고는 고병원성조류인플루엔자에 대해 만약 이 질병이 발생했을 경우 우리 양계인들이 알아야 할 사안을 몇가지 짚어보고자 한다.

무덥던 여름이 지나가고 조금씩 선선한 바람이 부는 계절이 돌아오고 있다. 더위에 지친 사람들과 동물들에게는 반가운 가을이지만, 조류인플루엔자(AI; Avian Influenza)라고 하는 질병 때문에라도 양계농가에서는 마냥 느긋하게 즐길 수만은 없는 계절이기도 하다. 우리나라는 2008년 5월 발생을 마지막으로 H5N1형의 고병원성 조류인플루엔자(HPAI)가 종식되어 현재는 HPAI 청정국 상태를 유지하고 있다. 하지만 세계적으로 HPAI 발생이 지속되고 있어 재유입의 가능성이 상존하고 있고, 이전 우리나라에서의 발생이 모두 봄 가을 철새 이동시기에 있었던 점, 그리고 인플루엔자 바이러스의 특성상 저온 환경에서 오래 생존할 수 있는 점 등을 생각하면 환경 온도가 낮은 가을에서 다음해 봄까지 기간이 아무래도 문제가 될 수 있는 시기라 하겠다. 따라서 본 원고에서는 우리나라 주변국을 중심으로 세계의 AI 발생현황을 알아보고 다가오는 계절에 대비하여 농가에서 지켜야 할 예방수칙에 대해 간략히 소개해 보고자 한다.
