Vaccine may be linked to bird flu cases

The weak strain of avian influenza recently detected at more than a dozen
farms in Ibaraki Prefecture may have been brought about by artificial
contamination, including by the use of vaccines, a farm ministry panel said
Friday.

The use of vaccines to prevent bird flu is currently banned by law, and the
Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry said it would probe the matter
further.

According to panel head Hiroshi Kida, a professor at Hokkaido University,
the genetic makeup of the virus found at the Ibaraki farms was strikingly
similar to that of a bird flu virus found in Guatemala and Mexico, too far
for a migrating bird to carry into Japan. It is also different from other
Central American strains of the virus previously found in other parts of Asia.

This led the panel to suspect that a vaccine developed using the Central
American virus was brought into Japan and used on some birds, infecting the
animals around them, he said.

The ministry has a stock of vaccines to be used in the event of a massive
bird flu outbreak, but has banned its general use because vaccinated birds
will develop the antibody and be indistinguishable from animals that have
really come down with the disease.
