Police to build case against vets for not reporting avian flu infections+

(Japan Economic Newswire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)MITO, Japan, Feb. 27_(Kyodo) _ Police have decided to pursue a criminal case against several people, including two veterinarians, for allegedly failing to report to authorities suspected infections of avian flu at a poultry farm in Ibaraki Prefecture, investigative sources said Monday.



The police suspect an antibody test conducted by a vet at the National Institute of Animal Health in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, at the request of another vet employed at Yokohama-based IKN Egg Farms Co. showed positive.

But both veterinarians failed to report the finding to the Ibaraki government in violation of the Domestic Animal Infectious Diseases Control Law which obligates reporting of any suspected contagious diseases in poultry.



The police plan to arrest some of the several people Monday, the sources said.

The vet at IKN Egg Farm is also suspected of obstructing an avian flu test conducted by the Ibaraki government last August by submitting samples taken from some of its poultry farms in the prefecture as having been taken at three different farms run by the company, the sources said.

The research institute vet has been acquainted with the vet employed by IKN Egg Farms, according to investigations.

Avian flu infections have been found at 40 farms in Ibaraki Prefecture since last June.
