        New bird flu outbreak in China reined in

        In addition to quarantines and other precautions, veterinary workers have vaccinated 140,000 birds with inactivated mono H5N2 vaccine.

        The Chinese capital has stepped up its efforts to fight bird flu by sending inspectors to farms, homes and migratory bird sanctuaries to enforce disease prevention controls.

        Elsewhere in the world, Indonesian health authorities yesterday confirmed the country's fourth human death from bird flu, bringing the worldwide toll to 62.

        The World Health Organization said in a statement that the newly-confirmed case was a 23-year-old man who was hospitalized on September 28 and died two days later.

        Meanwhile, China's need for anti-flu medication cannot be met soon even though Swiss drug-maker Roche has voiced willingness to work with the Chinese Government to produce Tamiflu, which according to tests is effective against bird flu in humans.

        "We are open to discussion with any partner from a government or private company which has the capacity to produce substantial amounts of Tamiflu for pandemic use in a timely manner in accordance with appropriate quality specifications, safety and regulatory guidelines," the company's Shanghai office told China Daily

        But it has yet to make any significant effort in producing Tamiflu in China. The company reiterated that the production process is complicated, even though a basic material, shikimic acid, is extracted from a traditional Chinese medicine called Star Anise.

        Sources at the Ministry of Health told China Daily recently that the authorities had negotiated with Roche over the production of Tamiflu, but the company would not give up rights to its patent, which is reportedly protected until 2016.

        Also, given a global shortage of the drug, Chinese authorities are reluctant to declare the quantity in stock for fear of causing a public panic.
