Emergency plan for prevention and treatment of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Guangdong Province

  Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is a virulent infectious disease of poultry caused by type A avian influenza virus, which is classified as a class A animal disease by OIE, and it is also classified as a class A animal disease in China.

  In order to ensure timely, rapid, efficient and orderly emergency treatment in case of highly pathogenic avian influenza epidemic, ensure the healthy development of poultry industry in our province, promote foreign trade and socio-economic development, protect human health and maintain social stability, this plan is formulated according to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Animal Epidemic Prevention Law and other laws and regulations and the National Emergency Plan for the Prevention and Control of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza.

  People’s governments at all levels and relevant departments shall, in accordance with the provisions of this plan, do a good job in controlling the epidemic of highly pathogenic avian influenza, such as funds, materials, equipment, technology and other reserves, and incorporate them into the national economic development plan and financial budget on an annual basis. After the outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza, people’s governments at all levels should mobilize relevant social forces, use legal, administrative, economic and technical means, adopt a culling policy, follow the principle of "early, fast, strict and small", achieve unified command, coordinate and cooperate, and control and extinguish the epidemic as soon as possible.

  I. Confirmation and classification of epidemic situation

  (1) Confirmation of highly pathogenic avian influenza

  Highly pathogenic avian influenza is confirmed by the supervising agencies for animal epidemic prevention at or above the provincial level.

  Under any of the following circumstances, it can be treated as highly pathogenic avian influenza:

  1. Avian influenza virus strains of H5 and H7 subtypes or other subtypes with high pathogenicity were isolated from chickens.

  2. Immunized chickens and breeders are serologically or etiologically positive for subtype H5 and H7 avian influenza.

  3. Chickens with typical clinical symptoms and pathological changes, acute onset, high mortality, positive serology or etiology of avian influenza, and can exclude Newcastle disease; Other poultry have typical clinical symptoms and pathological changes, with acute onset and high mortality, and H5 and H7 subtype avian influenza virus strains or other subtype avian influenza virus strains with high virulence have been isolated.

  4. When a suspicious epidemic occurs, two or more experts from different units designated by the state or province go to the site for diagnosis and confirmation.

  (2) Classification of epidemic situation

  According to the number, transmission speed, epidemic range and trend of highly pathogenic avian influenza, the epidemic situation of highly pathogenic avian influenza is divided into three levels:

  1. First-class epidemic situation: more than 10 epidemic spots within 30 days; Or the number of sick birds in a certain area is more than 100,000 within 30 days; Special circumstances need to be classified as a first-class epidemic.

  2. Secondary epidemic: occurred in two or more neighboring cities; Or 5-10 epidemic spots occur within 30 days; Or within 30 days, the number of sick birds is 50,000-100,000; Special circumstances need to be classified as a secondary epidemic.
