Health officials do not know what the illness is, but it is similar to the Norwalk virus and symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea and nausea. It typically lasts no more than one day. Deputy Chief Health Officer Mitch Zelman said tests have come back negative for Norwalk. "So far, all the tests are negative, but viruses can be very difficult to isolate and to find, to prove it. But it's certainly acting very much like Norwalk," said Zelman. "Most of the cases have diarrhea or nausea and some vomiting, and it's lasting about 16 hours or so which is very much a Norwalk-like virus." Zelman said the hospitalized patient is doing fine now. He said the outbreak appears to be in decline. Staff who have been ill have been advised to stay away from the facility for at least 48 hours. In addition, Atlantic Baptist Home officials are requesting that visiting be restricted to immediate family at this time. The nursing home has been thoroughly cleaned to prevent the virus from spreading outside its walls. Meanwhile, health officials still are hoping to identify the virus. Tests have been sent to a lab in Ottawa in the hopes that better technology will help identify the illness.

Health services in the district have started to inform the affected community, identify vaccination status and offer vaccination to those who want it. Doctors in the district should be aware of measles as a possible diagnosis of rashes in children. Tests should always be taken to confirm the diagnosis. Measles is now a very rare disease in Norway thanks to a high level of child immunisation. Out of the vaccine-preventable childhood diseases it causes the most severe symptoms,.

หรือว่าอหิวาจะมาระบาดในโลกนี้อีกหนแล้ว (คงแรงกว่าเดิม)

Event: Epidemic Hazard
Location: USA State of New York New York City Number of Infected: 3 person(s)


Situation: Cholera has been diagnosed in three New Yorkers - the first known cases in the city since last year's outbreak in Haiti. Three adults developed the disease after travelling to the Dominican Republic for a wedding on January 22, city health officials confirmed today. The victims began experiencing classic symptoms of dehydration and diarrhoea soon after returning home. They were diagnosed on Friday, but none of them had to stay in hospital and all have now recovered. Health officials declined to release their names or where they lived. On average, the city sees about one case of cholera a year, usually in people returning from travels abroad, said health department official Erin Hughes. The department is now liaising with the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta to discover what the victims ate and the type of cholera strain. Scientists are hoping to find out if it is linked to the cholera epidemic that has ravaged Haiti, killing thousands since October and infecting many more. The government has been trying to prevent the disease from spreading from neighbouring Haiti to the Dominican Republic where some cases have been identified on arrival in the U.S. While cholera can spread swiftly where sanitation is poor and clean drinking water is unavailable, the possibility of transmitting the disease in New York is considered low. The likelihood of human transmission is also low, as one would have to drink large amounts of water contaminated with Vibrio cholerae, the cholera-causing bacteria, to get sick. Those with cholera can recover rapidly, particularly if they rehydrate by drinking water with salt or sugar. In some cases, intravenous treatment and antibiotics might be required.

Health official Renan Cimafranca said that they conducted the water source in the area tested positive for the typhoid fever bacteria. A blood test was also conducted on 6 residents who showed typhoid fever symptoms. Five of them tested positive. Cimafranca said that based on their investigation, only 9 of the 200 residents of the village have toilets. He said that this contributed to typhoid fever outbreak. The constant rain carries human waste toward villagers’ source of water. Cimafranca urged residents to first boil their water and utensils before using them. Chlorination of the water source was also advised. Cimafranca said the best way to prevent the incident from happening again is for the village to have a better water system. Barangay Captain Emong Paulin said the barangay council has yet to approve a P50,000 project to make sure that the water supplied to houses is safe for drinking.

Situation: A spate of measles in Auckland is growing. The Regional Public Health Service has now been notified of 12 people who have or possibly have the disease. Nine of them were passengers on Emirates Flight EK434 from Brisbane which arrived on 11 January. Three more may have been in contact with the passengers or could have got it from another source. Public health clinical director Julia Peters says most of the cases are in West Auckland, but there is also one in Wellington. She says they are trying to trace people who have been in contact with those who have a confirmed case of measles.

He underscored that "despite that this is just a suspected case, we will work the same way as if it was confirmed in the place where we presume that he contracted the disease." The young man lives near the la Rueda location and besides studying, plays football in the 1st division of the Villa San Martin de Abasto Club, the place where he lives. The young man "first felt a strong stomach pain and fever, so had a test done, but later felt worse -- he had a fever and vomiting -- and when he went to the hospital he was admitted and was kept in intensive care," added the report. One of the suspicions was that he could have contracted the virus infection in his home, since the residence is located along side a balanced feed production plant, and, according to the explanation of medical sources, "it is a swarm of rats."

Canterbury Medical Officer of Health Dr Alistair Humphrey says Community and Public Health has been notified of an infected passenger who arrived on Pacific Blue Flight DJ 60, which departed Melbourne and arrived in Christchurch at 3pm last Monday. “Measles is a serious illness with 10 per cent of people who have the disease requiring hospital treatment. Measles is at its most highly infectious stage before any symptoms of a rash appears,” Dr Humphrey says. “The infected passenger was travelling to Christchurch for a wedding and would have been travelling during this highly infectious period.” Passengers on the flight would now be experiencing symptoms, he says. “Measles is easily spread through the air and people sitting in a row close to an affected passenger are potentially at risk. Even people sitting further away could have been infected, for example, while walking past the passengers with measles, or while waiting in the airport gate lounge.” While measles is now rare in New Zealand, thanks to vaccination, Dr Humphrey says there were still three outbreaks in 2009/2010, each of which was started by people who were infected overseas. “People tend to underestimate measles – reality is it can be a nasty disease. Measles can’t be treated once you get it, so the only way to prevent the disease is through immunisation.” “It is important to call first because measles is highly infectious and people with measles can infect others in the waiting room,” Dr Humphrey says.

Typical symptoms of measles are:
• The first symptoms are a fever, runny nose and sore red eyes.
• Then after a few days a red blotchy rash comes on and lasts up to one week. It usually starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body.
• Children and adults with measles are often very sick.

Pharmacies have also reported a rise in the number of people asking for diarrhea medication. According to Sami Badawood, the city’s director of health affairs, 161 people were admitted to hospital following the floods for a variety of reasons. However, complaints include not only dysentery, but also panic and asthma attacks triggered by the floods. One case of dysentery serious enough to require hospitalization was that of 45-year-old Filipino Mario Cunanan.

He was rushed to hospital on Sunday evening suffering from acute amoebic dysentery. He fell ill after consuming tap water that turned out to have been contaminated when the sewage-filled floodwaters entered the underground water tank where he lives. “I started feeling ill on Thursday night, the night after the floods. I suffered from diarrhea and couldn’t sleep,” said Cunanan. “It didn’t get worse up until Sunday when I had trouble moving from my bed, so I called my boss who immediately took me to hospital.” Cunanan’s boss Alan Barton, who is manager of a major Jeddah interior decoration company, said that a quarter of his workforce had come down with dysentery, although not all at the same time. He added Cunanan was the worst case. “He had constant diarrhea and nonstop vomiting, which caused him to dehydrate,” said Barton. “We had to take him to a clinic nearby. It ran some tests on him, but couldn’t immediately tell what was wrong.” At the Rashad Clinic in Ruwais, Cunanan’s condition deteriorated. “We had to immediately transfer him to a hospital for a drip feed. He was suffering from dehydration and was unable to take solids,” said a doctor there. “He was in pain because of the toxic water he was exposed to.

” In order to get Cunanan admitted to hospital, Barton had to go and find an ATM and withdraw SR2,000 that the hospital required before accepting him. “I had to go and pay the fees to make sure they got him in him as soon as possible and give him the medication and tests he needed,” he said. Doctors at Abu Zanada Hospital say that the patient is no longer in a critical condition. “We are now drip feeding him, but not offering him solid food because he might vomit it out. So we will keep him on fluids until he stabilizes,” said a doctor at the hospital. “We want him to stay in the hospital for two days so we can monitor his condition.” Cunanan’s illness is a warning to other Jeddah residents not to drink tap water. On Saturday, they were advised by Badawood not to do so. He said that 70 percent of water in storage tanks had been contaminated by the floods and people should drink only bottled water until further notice. On Sunday, city doctors warned that the symptoms of diseases caught from contaminated water might not manifest for several months.

Dengue is endemic to the jungle region but until now Peru has largely dealt with the American strain of the disease. "[Authorities are facing] a new variety that we did not know in Peru and that probably entered from Brazil via the Amazon," health minister Oscar Ugarte told local reporters. About 13,000 people have been infected and at least 1,600 people have been hospitalised for treatment, a health official in Loreto, in north-eastern Peru. There is no vaccine for dengue, a mosquito-borne viral disease. A senior Loreto health official, Hugo Rodriguez, says this dengue strain is known as the Asian-American variety, and unlike the American variety produces severe shock among victims. "It is a combination of both varieties," Mr Rodriguez said. Health officials in Iquitos, Peru's main city on the Amazon River located 1,000 kilometres north of Lima, has launched a fumigation program in an attempt to diminish the number of mosquitos. The virus can result in deadly fevers, especially among children: half of those killed were minors.

The farmer told Narinjara that he is unable to save his business after all the chickens from his farms were taken by the authorities in the culling. "All 4,000 chickens, worth about ten million kyat, were taken from my farm and culled by the officials. So far, I have not gotten any compensation from the authorities and now it is very difficult for me to restart my business," said the farmer. Officials from the local health and municipal departments have culled thousands of chickens from the poultry farms in the area after finding a strain of the H5N1 virus, also known as the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza - HPAI virus at a farm in Bumay Village in Sittwe Township on 12 January 2011. "As my farm is near the village hit by the flu, all of my chickens have been wiped out by the officials even though they were uninfected. The farms in other nearby villages also faced the same fate and an estimated 50,000 birds from both infected and uninfected farms have been culled by the authorities," said the farmer. Another farmer reported that most of the affected farmers are facing a loss of their livelihood as authorities have neglected to even provide loans, much less compensation, to help them recover from the loss. "There is no compensation or loans being provided by the authorities to the farmers. It is like we had to suffer according to our fate. Apart from this, we have to pay the officials for anti-virus sprays on our farms and for culling the chickens, and now we are facing the ruin of our business," he said. According to a local veterinarian, the virus is now under control as health officials have been closely monitoring the farms in the area after culling the affected birds.

The bat's nose was white, as if the thumb-sized animal had poked its gargoyle face into flour. "The first white-nose victim at Hamilton Cave," geologist Wil Orndorff said somberly. "Ever," added colleague Chris Hobson, a zoologist. That white gunk was a fungus believed to cause a torturous disease in bats called white-nose syndrome. In 2009, when scientists last checked Hamilton Cave in far Southwest Virginia, all the bats looked fine. But the mysterious fungus, new to science when it appeared in New York in 2006, is spreading quickly. White-nose has killed more than 1 million bats from New Hampshire to Tennessee, including thousands in Virginia. At some Northeast caves, it has wiped out more than 90 percent of the bats, leaving behind little brown bones like pine needles. "This is like the Great Plague for bats," said Orndorff, who works with Hobson for the state Natural Heritage Program, a conservation office. The disease has caused "the most precipitous decline of North American wildlife in recorded history" and could make entire species of bats go extinct, experts said in a 2009 statement. Scientists are comparing this onslaught to the devastation of the buffalo, the passenger pigeon and the American chestnut tree. And all the bats want to do is eat the mosquitoes that make us miserable and the bugs that damage our crops and gardens.

ครูนักเรียนในญี่ปุ่นกว่าพันคน เป็นโรคอาหารเป็นพิษ

Event: Epidemic Hazard
Location: Japan Prefecture of Hokkaido Iwamizawa Number of Infected: 1048 person(s)


Situation: More than 1,000 schoolchildren and teachers in northern Japan became ill in a suspected outbreak of food poisoning, news reports said Tuesday. A total of 1,048 students and teachers at nine elementary and junior high schools in Iwamizawa on the island of Hokkaido developed symptoms of food poisoning, public broadcaster NHK said, citing local officials. Thirteen students had been admitted to hospital, it said. Local health authorities said they suspected salmonella was to blame as they continued their investigation. The students started falling ill Friday after eating lunches Thursday that were prepared in central kitchens for about 3,100 students. The lunches included potato miso soup, komatsuna leaf (a spinach-like vegetable) salad and radish with ground meat.

A genetic test showed that the flu virus found in some of the dead birds was the highly pathogenic H5 type, they said. The prefecture then decided to cull about 67,000 chickens raised at the affected farm and prohibit the movements of chickens and eggs within a 10-kilometer radius of the farm, covering more than 57,000 chickens at six farms in Kumano and other areas. The poultry farm in Kiho raised chickens for meat at 14 hen coops and a total of 168 birds died Sunday through Tuesday at one of the buildings, according to the prefecture and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Noticing the higher-than-usual number of dead birds, the farm alerted the prefecture, they said. Of the 10 birds put to a preliminary test, six tested positive for bird flu, they said.
