Dead Chickens Cause Panic in Calcutta
Recombinomics Commentary 20:08
January 30, 2008

While the state government on Wednesday claimed that the onslaught of bird flu is coming under control, there was panic at Maheshtala in Kolkata after the mysterious death of 200 chickens there. "At least 700 chickens have already been culled in North 24 Parganas after our tests suggested the presence of the virus in the area," Mr Rehman said, adding that the situation is a little worrying.

The dead chickens described above have caused panic in Calcutta (see satellite map here and here).  These chickens are near the confirmed H5N1 in Budge Budge, and are close to the sites where dead wild birds were found. There has also been confirmed H5N1 just across the Hooghly River, and as noted above culling has already begun in adjacent North 24 Parganas.  However, the suggestive test results have not been made public previously.  In addition H5N1 positives were found in the Hooghly district.

Thus, there seems to be withheld test data on excessive domestic and wild bird deaths in the area, as well as confirmation of additional bird deaths, so confirmation of the chickens mentioned above would not be a surprise. The true situation in West Bengal and Calcutta remain murky, due to limited testing and the withholding of test results.  At this time H5N1 has been confirmed in at least 13 districts, and culling is ongoing in at least three more districts where H5N1 has not been officially confirmed.

It is likely that H5N1 is in all 19 districts, including Calcutta.
