27-10-2011
In addition to transportation and relations between countries are influenced more open, Indonesia which is a tropical area into a place most convenient for all diseases, so vulnerable to contracting the disease.

Prof. CA Nidom, from the Faculty of Veterinary Airlangga University, Surabaya, when dibincangi [starred] Tabengan in Palangkaraya, Wednesday (26/10), said today's weather changes also make the kind of disease that exist at the poles can survive in the tropics. With this condition, the borders between countries need to get attention.

"So far I do not know the extent to which standard operating procedures (SOPs) that exist when there is disease in the border area. This interstate, inter provincial just happened to set it half to death, "said Nidom.

According to him, did not rule tetanga [neighbor; a person living nearby] livestock diseases in the country will soon be happening in Indonesia, because peredaranya [rotation; revolution; circulation; orbit; circuit; tour] not only through the transport, but these animals can also immigrate. Swine flu for example, on June 20 occurred in Mexico, but in July had occurred in Indonesia due to flight very quickly while the incubation period or the emergence of new diseases appear between 3-4 days, so the virus can not be detected at the airport health quarantine officers.

With this condition, all parties must be good at putting their respective positions, can sit together, and with the division of duties in a professional manner. He claimed not to know how to guide implementers (Guidelines) in case of plague in wild animals in the forest and could also threaten human safety. "This could happen in Kalimantan, given its forests have undergone many changes," he added.

Technically, preventive services performed and related portions isntasi [authority; agency; jurisdiction; institute] only 30 percent, while 70 percent were in the society, culture, and culture. So the logic flow is needed for public awareness without having to change beliefs or customs that exist.

He therefore hoped that the community is not underestimated and too much when experiencing something uncomfortable after contact with animals. Should datangkah [to come; to arrive; to bring to a place] to the doctor for memastikanya [to assure; make sure; ensure; insure; ascertain; determine; resolve].

He described, only rabies transmission through saliva and biting, so the need to avoid animal bites rabies carriers. While the bird flu was considered quite difficult because penyebaranya [proliferation; spreading; distributing; deployment; diffusion; dispersing; transmitting; transmission] through the air so that steps can be taken not to allow the emergence of the source of bird flu.

To sensitize the community, just need a common vision, mission, and to what they should be aware. This is what needs to be done so that people can cooperate with relevant agencies in the fight against rabies and bird flu.

Indonesia responded to the target while free of bird flu in 2020, he considered of doing things must have a target as a reference in the act. However, animal handlers should also be clear and look upstream and downstream sectors, because of easy handling in animals led to easy handling in humans.

He mentioned, as many as 70 percent of human diseases of animal origin, so that animal diseases are handled properly in order to save human effort will be easier and better. "But why the current bird flu cases have been in 32 of 33 provinces in Indonesia? This is because there is no shared understanding of all areas and related instani. With the existing circumstances, all parties must put yourself in their position, gates and borders should be completely on guard, as well as the need for awareness of the community in melihara cattle, "he explained.

Most importantly, governments must prepare a vaccine for the parties that deal directly with the disease, so there is no guarantee of safety for them. Nevertheless, he appealed to people not to worry about remembering it and the officers concerned will always monitor the movement of the chain of spread of this disease.

Separate Head of Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Kalteng tute Lelo expect awareness to provide livestock vaccines and if there are sick or to die in order secepanya report to his side. He declares, rabies and bird flu cases in Central Kalimantan is still there and in 2011 there were 31 cases of bites and 1 case died of the world. For the case of bird flu and Palangkaraya Bartim area was considered quite high, though not until transmitted to humans

Regarding the target free of rabies in Central Kalimantan in 2014, steps were taken between Borneo through regional coordination meetings held in Palangkaraya, recently. Also seeking joint movement to provide simultaneous vaccinations in areas perbatasan
