Mexico strengthens fight against pandemics and bioterrorism
We can confirm in at least two days the presence of SARS, flu, or new strains. It has the backing of the United States and will process up to 30 samples daily.
Fri, 07/05/2010 - 09:52
Fifty scientists, well equipped, will work on the detection of infectious agents. Image: Oswaldo Ramírez After seven years of programming, Mexico has the first Laboratory Biosafety Level 3 (BSL3), supported by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) United States, which will detect, in less 48 hours, new pandemic viruses and bioterrorism aimed at places like the U.S. embassy.
Alpuche Celia, director of the National Institute of Epidemiological Diagnosis and Reference (INDRE), explained that U.S. diplomatic representation in Mexico usually sent for analysis envelopes that come with "strange powders" and they fear that it may be Anthrax.
"They still have dust coming envelopes are rare and anguish that go through the U.S. Embassy, we have come inches, three or four a year," he said during a tour of the new facilities of small BSL3 laboratory, which was a cost of 12 million pesos, but the maintenance will be over 500 million.
Pending completion of construction of 35 thousand meters of surface in new INDRE Silversmiths (around 2011 and have the ability to process more than 3000 samples), this new, small laboratory is key to national security, even though in practice can only process 30 samples per day, ranging from common viruses such as rubella, measles and dengue, to the detection of new infectious strains.
"It's like a national security shield for more health information, timely and quality, and prevent the spread of diseases of suspected, consequential or bioterrorism, such as Anthrax, tularemia, or rabbit fever, Francisella tularensis, which is highly virulent , including the H5N1 avian influenza and highly resistant crops microbasterias or hemorrhagic fevers, "he said.
INDRE director said Friday he will meet with authorities Research Center for National Security (Cisen) to report on the draft protection against a possible bioterrorist attack and, in parallel, we will work to shield the border between Mexico and the United States and Guatemala .
The BSL3 laboratory, which will start operating in three weeks and has 500 surface 7000, a team of 50 scientists prepared and well equipped, have the opportunity to sequence all types of viruses, to detect whether these are new agents that can trigger a pandemic in the country and even for preparing the antigens necessary.
"We will be able to grow any kind of virus and be more self-sufficient to produce antigens," in addition "we have internationally standardized techniques. Any diagnosis faster and will allow us to defend ourselves against any attack (bioterrorism), before we had to send samples abroad. Another situation is that this laboratory will have international credibility, we belong to the CDC network, "he said Alpuche.
The facilities are sealed in such a way that prevents leaks out viruses that might compromise or society. "The idea is to sequence the entire virus and detect whether it is a new agent that could trigger a pandemic in the country."
The new laboratory will operate in conjunction with the existing ones in Veracruz and Sonora, which have not yet endorsed by the CDC.
On cases of H1N1 virus, the official mentioned that it is minimal and that of ten samples are only two confirmatory.

Influenza
• So far, Mexico has recorded 72 000 502 confirmed cases of influenza A/H1N1, and according to the Ministry of Health has been 8,009 deaths.
• The economic impact of the pandemic, since the alert was declared on April 23, 2009, exceeded 4 percent of GDP, following the closure of borders by various countries.
• Given the possibility of release WHO pandemic alert, the INER are warned that cases of H1N1, and most of them are from people without risk factors, ie healthy.

Oil Spill: Ship delays expected due spill, but none yet
Friday May 07, 2010 05:45:18 PM GMT
By Bruce Nichols
HOUSTON, May 7 (Reuters) - Shippers and ports on the Gulf of Mexico prepared Friday for a worst-case oil spill impact, including vessel delays for cleaning, but ships so far had passed through the mess without contamination, officials said.
"We have seen no impacts at all," said an oil trader for a major refiner that receives oil via the Gulf and Mississippi River. "If the oil gets to the mouth of the Mississippi, we think there may be some delays, but nothing substantial."
There could be some delays for ship cleaning from New Orleans to Mobile, Alabama, if the spill spreads farther into shipping lanes, but officials hoped to avoid major slowdowns, said Judith Adams of the Alabama State Port Authority.
"We really need to try and keep commerce moving but also protect the environment," she said.
Onshore preparations accelerated Friday as oil kept spewing after the blowout and explosion of a BP Plc
A practice run cleaning a ship was undertaken on Friday at Southwest Pass, deepwater entrance to the Mississippi River and New Orleans, and a gated boom system was being installed at the entrance to Mobile Bay in Alabama as a precaution.
Sensitive areas were being boomed off without blocking ship channels at Pascagoula and Gulfport, Mississippi.
Winds, currents and a rising Mississippi River - due to flooding rains upstream - appeared favorable Friday for keeping the spill away from key Gulf shipping lanes, but officials cautioned conditions can change.
The spill had not seriously threatened the Mississippi-Alabama coast as of Friday, but it was onshore in parts of Louisiana, though it had not seriously marred the Mississippi River entrance as of Friday.
The practice cleaning of a vessel at Southwest Pass Friday was intended to streamline a system "almost like a carwash," said Captain Jason Bosley of the Associated Branch Pilots.
Sheen contamination can be hosed off in an hour or two, but dirtier ships might have to anchor at Pilottown or Boothville, Louisiana, and face delays up to two days, officials said.
Two cleaning boats were stationed at Southwest Pass, but more resources could be made available, and cleaning stations were being set up at other ports, officials said.
"This is not going to be voluntary. If a ship has oil on it, it is going to be cleaned," Bosley said, but he added "every effort is being made" to keep the process speedy.
One ship at Mobile and at least two others at the mouth of the Mississippi reported passing through the spill but were inspected and found not to be contaminated.
They may have benefited from the fact that the oil has been treated with dispersants, which are supposed to make the oil less sticky, Bosley said.
In Alabama, the boom across the bay entrance will be anchored by pilings but will have a tugboat-driven gate to let ships pass without letting oil into the bay, Adams said.
"What we're trying to do is protect the environment, but we still have a business to run," Mississippi State Port Director Don Allee said. (Additional reporting by Joshua Schneyer and Robert Gibbons in New York; Editing by John Picinich)
Gulf oil spill could reach Louisiana Offshore Oil Port next week
By The Associated Press
May 07, 2010, 2:16PM
The LOOP marine terminal, shown here in 2007, is 18 miles offshore in 110 feet of Gulf of Mexico water south of Port Fourchon

The LOOP marine terminal, shown here in 2007, is 18 miles offshore in 110 feet of Gulf of Mexico water south of Port Fourchon
Oil gushing from a blown-out well at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico could force closure of the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port next week, authorities said Friday.
The port, known as LOOP, is a platform off the Louisiana coast about 80 miles southwest of New Orleans. It is one of the leading facilities for imported oil, handling up to 1.2 million barrels a day and feeding half the nation's refinery capacity.
Tankers that are too large to enter the Mississippi River pull up to the facility and hook into a pipeline system that sends their oil to onshore refineries, including those lining the Mississippi north of New Orleans.
Current projections show the oil spill from the Deepwater Horizon disaster could reach the port next week, said Sale Sittig, director of the Louisiana Oil Terminal Authority, an oversight body for LOOP.
"It definitely could be shut down if the heavy oil gets in the vicinity of the platform," Sittig said.
The Coast Guard would determine whether LOOP would be shut down. The port has never closed for an extended period since its inception in the 1970s, though it has closed briefly for hurricanes.
A long closure almost certainly would send gasoline prices higher, Sittig said.
"We're open, we're operational," said LOOP spokeswoman Barb Hesterman. She said the Coast Guard currently has no plans to shut the port.
Phil Flynn, energy analyst with PFG Best in Chicago, said temporary LOOP shutdowns in the past haven't moved prices much.
"A short-term closure, might support prices for the short term but would not have a lasting impact," he said.
If the port were to close for a longer period, the federal government could order oil drawn from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, he said.
Flynn said the biggest worry is shipping through the Mississippi's Southwest Pass, where finished gasoline and other fuels move out in small tankers for U.S. ports.
Interruption or delay in those supplies also could push gasoline prices up, he said. So far, the pass has remained open though officials are making preparations to scrub oily ships that might come into the river, a process that could back up ship traffic. As of midday Friday, port officials said traffic was flowing normally on the Mississippi.
Flynn said gasoline supplies are more than ample now, giving some breathing room in case of supply interruptions.
On Friday, oil traded around $76 a barrel, down from an 18-month high of $87.15 on Monday.
An Associated Press team saw a heavy band of putrid, orange and rust-colored oil snake its way into the LOOP security zone Thursday about 30 miles off Grand Isle. LOOP has a heavily guarded security zone. The AP team was not allowed to enter the security zone, which is patrolled by security ships.
Satellite imagery confirmed Friday that oil is moving west of the Mississippi River delta.
Late Thursday, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries ordered immediate closure of shrimp harvesting in state waters from South Pass of the Mississippi to the eastern shore of Four Bayous Pass just east of Grand Isle.
Earlier, state officials closed territorial waters east of the Mississippi and a federal fishing ban outside of state territorial waters is in effect from the mouth of the Mississippi east to an area south of Pensacola, Fla.Vietnam: The country has discovered 154 communes, wards and towns with PRRS

WHO website launched for snakebite info
Friday, 07 May 2010 15:01 Will Baxter and Chhay Channyda
THE World Health Organisation launched a new website this week dedicated to information about venomous snakebites – a special concern for Cambodia, which lacks anti-venoms for many varieties, a WHO official said Thursday.
In Southeast Asia, Cambodia and Laos have the greatest need for appropriate antivenoms and education about the treatment of venomous snake bites, said Ana Padilla, a snake venom expert at the WHO.
Antivenoms, antidotes usually developed from snake venom, can prevent paralysis, amputation or death from snakebites, Padilla said.
According to a 2009 WHO report titled Snake Bite Management in Cambodia, “None of the antivenoms currently supplied to health facilities by the Ministry of Health are known to be effective against the venoms of Cambodian snake species.” The report recommended that at least three ineffective Indian-made antivenoms be immediately withdrawn from use in Cambodia for this reason.
“The antivenoms manufactured in Thailand are appropriate for the snake species in Cambodia,” Padilla said, adding, however, that there is very little reliable data available on snakebites or related deaths in Cambodia.
“The problems happen in the rural areas,” Padilla said. “Figures are often fragmented because they come from hospital-based assistance, but many of the victims of snakebites do not reach hospitals.”
The government should make the appropriate antivenoms available in clinic settings in rural communities, she added. One positive result of the 2009 report, Padilla said, is that “the Ministry of Health has made the snake bite problem a part of its agenda”.
Heng Bun Keat, director of the ministry’s Food and Drug Department, said he did not know how many snakebite cases or related deaths occurred in Cambodia each year. “Antivenom serums are available only at state hospitals,” he added.
According to the WHO, as many as 17 venomous snakes can be found in Cambodia.

14 cases of streptococcus swine virus
Until now, Tropical Disease Hospital Central has received 14 cases of swine streptococcus. April alone there are seven cases. There is not a disease epidemic, but people need preventive vigilance.
A patient infected swine streptococcus BVTU treatment in Hue.
According to therapist 2 Nguyen Thi Minh Ha, Head of General infections, Tropical Disease Hospital Central: swine streptococcus infections are spread from animals to humans, but does not spread from person to person. Normally, the pigs are all children of this streptococcus in the throat and upper respiratory tract. When the infected pigs, especially the blue ear disease, immune system decline, streptococcus swine will have the opportunity to attack individuals.People exposed to sick pigs from swine streptococcus will be transmitted through skin wounds, eye mucosa, air.
If the patient is not treated promptly, can cause septicemia, meningitis, arthritis, pneumonia, leaving the heavy sequelae such as deafness. Severe cases, blood infections that patients not treated promptly, can shock and fatal infections.
Those who are in blue ear epidemic areas will have high risk of swine streptococcus. Besides, contact with dead pigs, swine meat which scratched arms and legs, eat food from pigs that are not cooked, will also risk infection streptococcus swine. So even when a high fever, nausea, headache, and especially with the hemorrhagic form of ..., to the right of patients to medical facilities for treatment in time.

Giediaahss Nation: Bird flu was discovered at Ein Gedi
Thursday, May 6, 2010, 19:08
After review carried out by the Ministry of Health in poultry found dead in the corner living in Ein Gedi, it was discovered that the gods are Zen line of bird flu. All were destroyed as a preventive corner of the living birds
Ministry of Agriculture said this evening (Thursday) that the examination revealed, it became clear that the dead birds at Kibbutz Ein Gedi line bird flu H5N1 strain of the gods. Following the safety measures that destroyed all living birds in the corner.
Two birds, a mother, were found dead in a corner of the living of Kibbutz Ein Gedi. Earlier, the veterinary service said the Ministry of Agriculture can not yet determine whether the violent strains of the disease, which could also affect humans or other species, but now confirmed that this is a violent species. It is estimated that the disease had married into the living room of the kibbutz by migratory birds.
The service began to carry out to prevent the spread of the disease. It should be noted that the nearest poultry farm is located at a distance of 12.5 miles and that will be performed in laboratory tests to rule out the possibility that the disease was also there. The service began operations to destroy the corner of the living birds of the kibbutz. As is known, it is localized outbreak of the disease. There are little corner of the living birds. It is estimated that the number does not exceed 20, including peacocks and parrots. Kibbutz announced that beginning this week, after the death of two birds of his mother, not observed in mortality.
Remember in three outbreaks of the plague this decade. The first was the winter of 2006, and because of the outbreak, hundreds of thousands of birds were destroyed in the Negev mixed settlements in the Jerusalem Corridor. A year later the disease was discovered in Binyamina kindergarten playpen, and in 2008 she was discovered poultry farm in Kibbutz Ein Shemer. In these cases, death was controlled, limited a lot more from the eruption was in 2006.
After review carried out by the Ministry of Health in poultry found dead in the corner living in Ein Gedi, it was discovered that the gods are Zen line of bird flu. All were destroyed as a preventive corner of the living birds
Ministry of Agriculture said this evening (Thursday) that the examination revealed, it became clear that the dead birds at Kibbutz Ein Gedi line bird flu H5N1 strain of the gods. Following the safety measures that destroyed all living birds in the corner.
Two birds, a mother, were found dead in a corner of the living of Kibbutz Ein Gedi. Earlier, the veterinary service said the Ministry of Agriculture can not yet determine whether the violent strains of the disease, which could also affect humans or other species, but now confirmed that this is a violent species. It is estimated that the disease had married into the living room of the kibbutz by migratory birds.
The service began to carry out to prevent the spread of the disease. It should be noted that the nearest poultry farm is located at a distance of 12.5 miles and that will be performed in laboratory tests to rule out the possibility that the disease was also there. The service began operations to destroy the corner of the living birds of the kibbutz. As is known, it is localized outbreak of the disease. There are little corner of the living birds. It is estimated that the number does not exceed 20, including peacocks and parrots. Kibbutz announced that beginning this week, after the death of two birds of his mother, not observed in mortality.

U.S. oil spill causing minor tanker delays - analyst
Previously reported:
06.05.2010
An oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is causing a few delays for oil tankers in the region, giving freight rates a boost, a shipping analyst said on Wednesday.
An army of workers toiled above and below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday to plug a gushing oil leak and protect the U.S. shoreline in one of the biggest spill containment efforts ever mounted.
Smaller aframax tankers dominate seaborne activity in the area ferrying crude oil from Mexico and Venezuela.
"Those ships have seen a few delays," Mike Reardon, vice president of research and marketing with freight derivatives exchange Imarex, told Reuters Insider on Wednesday.
"Right now it is just a minor inconvenience, but it does boost rates a touch."
Rates for aframax tankers from the Caribbean to the U.S. Gulf rose to their highest in five weeks on Wednesday with average earnings up at $12,980 a day, Baltic Exchange data showed.
"You have the psychological effect where any time someone is able to raise their rates they are going to," Reardon said.
The Gulf of Mexico oil spill has not slowed ship traffic to central U.S. Gulf ports, and shipping lanes into the key port of New Orleans are expected to stay clear at least into Friday.
"While the oil itself may not be dangerous to the ship for it to pass through, what you don't want is your ship to have the hull covered in oil," Reardon said.
"No port authority is going to let you into their ports if you have oil on your hull."
Energy consultants Poten & Partners said the spill was likely to have wide ranging consequences for tanker markets in the coming weeks.
"Delayed and diverted voyages will undoubtedly be a factor in determining tanker freight rates in the region and beyond as attempts to stop the spill continue to develop," it said in a report.
"Voyages will be extended as vessels are forced to go around the spill, with freight rates likely to rise while owners and charterers haggle over who is responsible for extra costs."
Shipping sources have said tanker owners were charging higher prices to risk transporting cargoes nearby areas affected by the oil slick.
Imarex's Reardon said he knew of no delays or no change in rates for ships loading grains along the Mississippi River for export.
"The Mississippi river so far has avoided the oil coming in and prohibiting ships from maybe leaving or going in there," he said. "If it does occur it's a pretty big event. Right now there is no talk of it."

“I just got a call from the port commissioner, and he said the oil is a mile and a half away from the main entrance,” Wayne Mumphrey, secretary treasurer of the Port of New Orleans said in an interview in New Orleans. “Once it passes the buoy, we have to start decontaminating every ship coming into the port.”
Mumphrey said two floating decontamination stations have been set up near the buoy to scrub oil from the hulls of ships entering the Mississippi.
It will take 10 to 12 hours to decontaminate each ship, which will dramatically slow incoming port traffic and that may cause ships to begin backing up into the Gulf, he said.

Gulf Oil Slick Moves Near Southwest Pass, Port Official Says
Oil leaking from BP Plc’s damaged Gulf of Mexico well has drifted within 1.5 miles of the buoy marking the entrance to Southwest Pass, the main approach to the Port of New Orleans, a port official said.
“I just got a call from the port commissioner, and he said the oil is a mile and a half away from the main entrance,” Wayne Mumphrey, secretary treasurer of the Port of New Orleans said in an interview in New Orleans. “Once it passes the buoy, we have to start decontaminating every ship coming into the port.”

Mumphrey said a port study commissioned in the wake of a tanker spill that closed the Port of New Orleans for several days last year showed the economic impact of a total port closure on U.S. Midwestern communities from the mouth of the Mississippi to Minnesota is roughly $250 million a day.
“All the grain from the Midwest ships out through the Port of New Orleans,” Mumphrey said. “It can’t get out any other way.”

Port prepares for approaching oil sheen at SW Pass
POSTED: 03:53 PM Wednesday, May 5, 2010
Officials with the Port of New Orleans say a “light to medium” oil sheen is forecast to reach Southwest Pass at mouth of the Mississippi River by Thursday morning.
Officials with the Port of New Orleans say a “light to medium” oil sheen is forecast to reach Southwest Pass at mouth of the Mississippi River by Thursday morning.
The pass is where many cargo ships enter the river from the Gulf of Mexico, and port officials expect oil from the Deepwater Horizon leak to affect the area for at least the next two days.
Ships will be subjected to inspection before entering the pass, according to a statement from the port. Cleaning stations are set up at Boothville and Burwood, although ships “moving at a safe pace through light oil sheen may not require cleaning,” according to the release.
Response crews have been attempting to contain the damage from the oil slick that has threatened the Gulf Coast since the April 20 explosion of the semi-submersible rig 50 miles from the Mississippi Delta.
WHO advises caution when in South Africa
Thursday May 6, 2010
GENEVA: The World Health Organisation (WHO) have advised tourists in South Africa to guard against mosquito bites and contact with animals after a Rift Valley Fever outbreak.
The United Nations health agency issued the warning on Tuesday after a woman fell ill in Germany after a three-week trip in South Africa, who host football’s World Cup from June 11-July 11.
Around 350,000 fans are expected.
South Africa’s Health Ministry have reported 172 cases of the animal virus disease, including 15 deaths, across five provinces.
The German patient, who has since recovered, developed flu-like symptoms visiting the Eastern and Western Cape, which include the World Cup venues of Port Elizabeth and Cape Town.

The Ongoing Administration-Wide Response to the Deepwater BP Oil Spill
TUESDAY, MAY 4
Cross-posted from the White House Blog
Cabinet Officials Brief Members of Congress
Secretary Salazar, Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke, Administrator Jackson, DHS Deputy Secretary Jane Holl Lute and Admiral Allen provided a bi-partisan and bi-cameral briefing to Congress on the administration’s all-hands-on-deck response to the spill. They updated members of Congress on the status of ongoing, coordinated response efforts in the Gulf coast states and delivered an update on BP’s mitigation plans for potentially impacted Gulf Coast states.
Cabinet Officials Host Daily Coordination Calls with the Gulf Coast State Governors
To ensure consistent coordination with the Gulf Coast states, Admiral Thad Allen, Secretaries Janet Napolitano and Ken Salazar, Administrator Lisa Jackson and NOAA Deputy Under Secretary Monica Medina began daily calls with the Governors from the five Gulf Coast states to provide updates on the response to the BP oil spill and answer any questions that arise. Governors Barbour, Crist, Jindal, Perry and Riley have been invited to participate in the daily calls moving forward. These daily calls are a follow up to the calls last Friday and Sunday between the Governors and the agencies involved in the federal response, as well as the calls last week between the President and the Governors and the President’s visit to the region on Sunday. These calls are intended to further the already unprecedented cooperation and focused effort between state and local officials and the federal government in response to this situation.
National Guard Activation
Secretary Gates has authorized use of Title 32 status for up to 17,500 National Guard members in four states: Alabama (3,000), Florida (2,500), Louisiana (6,000) and Mississippi (6,000).
The state of Louisiana has activated approximately 1,200 National Guard members under Title 32 for command and control and sandbagging operations in St Bernard and Plaquemines parishes. Louisiana National Guard personnel are actively manning the Joint Operations Center and Tactical Aviation Cell.
20 More Vessels and 4,500 Responders Are Deployed to the Gulf Coast
The response continues to mobilize and move more resources into the gulf to support BP, the responsible party, and apply federal resources to mitigate environmental damage, including moving 20 more vessels to the area and deploying an additional 4,500 responders
Air Quality Monitoring
EPA’s Air Quality Index (AQI) tracks levels of particulate matter and ozone along the Gulf Coast—data available publicly daily at http://www.airnow.gov/ and http://gulfcoast.airnowtech.org/. In addition to these monitors, EPA’s emergency response teams have put up multiple monitoring stations to track larger particulate matter. The location of these monitoring stations is flexible as conditions change during this response.
The next in a daily series of press briefings was conducted between the Minerals Management Service (MMS), the Coast Guard, NOAA, BP and Transocean at the Joint Information Center in Robert, La., as well as daily legislative and intergovernmental calls.

Swine streptococcus disease spread to humans by eating blood pudding
(ANTD) - Days 5-5, Pham Tien My doctor, Head of Infectious - Pacific Hospital said nearly a week after active treatment, up to date health both fourth inter-infected patients for pigs lying in the scientific treatment has stabilized and may leave the hospital within a few days.
Infectious present at scientific, Pacific Hospital, we experienced a patient Ha Ngoc An, 52, resident shops at Dong Hoa, Thai Binh city.

After active treatment, patients who escape from danger, no deep coma. According to the patients, the cause of infection is due before he ate blood pudding in An bar.
Dr. Pham Van Diu, director of the Center Province of Preventive Medicine: Currently, the Pacific had eight suspected cases infected swine streptococcus. Initially, the patients who often mistake the symptoms of streptococcus swine fever with common colds. When taken to hospital, most patients are in a state of liver, kidney.
According to research by scientists and actually took place in 2007, swine streptococcus disease usually spread to people involved in swine blue ear.

North is entering the hot summer days, this is also the time of many serious animal disease outbreaks in humans. From diarrhea caused by bacteria described dangerous levels, Streptococcus to dengue fever, encephalitis, fever, viral ... More worryingly, the epidemiological investigation showed that a serious animal disease outbreak are largely due to comments people's poor form.

Disease infected by unhygienic food
It took over half months in hospital in the Emergency Treatment - Treatment Hospital positive (BV) Tropical Diseases of the Central Health Nguyen Van H., 30, in Pho Yen, Thai Nguyen new pass attack critical illness due to infection from swine Streptococcus. Body still patchy deep black patches because hemorrhagic necrosis of the skin caused by swine streptococcus bacteria cause, he H. tired said, because the imported food blocks blood pudding, which he infected pig heart disease risk.
According to Dr Intermediate, Deputy Director of Emergency Department - Treatment of active, up to now has received hospital treatment for 6 cases of Streptococcus infection from sick pigs and many suspected cases. Among them, there are two new cases hospitalized in the past 3-5 days in Quang Ninh and Ba Vi district, Hanoi, were identified from patients eat pork.
In the Pacific has had eight cases suspected swine streptococcus infections. Dr Nguyen Van Kinh, director of the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases, said this does not have any evidence of disease in swine streptococcus bacteria spread from person to person. However, since the outbreak of blue ear pig in many localities, some people have also increased by Streptococcus, all suspected cases of infectious disease or have contact with sick pigs or eat blood pudding , pig hearts, pig meat is not cooked.
Along with Streptococcus disease spread from pigs to people, dangerous epidemic of acute diarrhea caused by cholera outbreak continues in many places. Only in the north is now available in Hanoi, Bac Ninh, Hai Phong, Hai Duong, Ha Nam and recorded epidemic of acute diarrhea caused by cholera. Henan is the latest local outbreak of acute diarrhea caused by dangerous bacteria described, with 47 cases after the same meal at a wedding in rural Korea, North Ly commune, Ly Nhan district. Before that, Me Trai hamlet, Vinh Hong, Binh Giang, Hai Duong has also recorded more than 30 cases of acute diarrhea, including five cases of cholera after a meal crowded deck.
Also, on 5-5, Nguyen Tran Chinh, director of HCMC Hospital for Tropical Diseases has to receive treatment of NVT (23 years old, live in Chau Thanh District, Tay Ninh) have described. Previously, patients hospitalized in a state of physical exhaustion, kidney failure, continuous diarrhea every day dozens of times. Test results showed that patients positive for cholera. This is the first described cases of Tay Ninh province and patients live adjacent to the Cambodian border.
On 5-5, Preventive Medicine Center of Dien Bien province, said the current measles epidemic in the locality in the district of Muong Nhe has been controlled but here syndrome epidemic dysentery outbreak continued, bringing the number of people infected where nearly 100 cases, which has had two deaths. Worrying is the service area is occurring in remote areas, villages near the border as Sin Leng Xu, Chung Chai to the detection, control and extinguishing service encounter some difficulties.
They also racing ill
Not only have blue ear pig, or Streptococcus dangerous acute diarrhea that now in many provinces in the north has also recorded several hundred cases of dengue fever, meningitis and fever virus. Worrying as this year, some children are suffering from the disease tends to rise because of erratic changes in weather.
Doi Phu Nhuan BS, Dean examination Central Pediatrics Hospital, said about a week, coming in search of young children increases, over 2,000 children per day, whereas before, on how much is just about 1600 children. Not only that, at the Department of Children's Bach Mai Hospital or Paul Green, to the examination of children also increased by 20% compared with the past.
Most of the children to visit mainly cough, fever virus, pneumonia, diarrhea and a few grandchildren encephalitis. Number of children admitted to the examination and treatment has increased these days makes scientific respiratory, gastrointestinal, infectious, neonatal ... fall into overload.
Before the situation more dangerous disease outbreaks big risk, Associate Professor Dr Nguyen Huy Nga, director of the Department of Preventive Medicine and Environment, said the weather has turned northern summer, hot sun with high high humidity are favorable conditions for viruses, bacteria on the growth, along with a subjective sense, disregard of many diseases. Therefore, in order to proactively prevent dangerous infectious diseases in the moment, people need to make good personal hygiene, environmental hygiene, wash hands with soap before eating and after using the toilet, ensure food safety, drinking hot cooked done.
Especially for Streptococcus epidemic of acute diarrhea and dangerous cholera bacteria, health authorities, veterinary and local government must step up surveillance blue ear pig, absolutely not for people selling running pig disease indiscriminately thrown or buried.
People should limit eating crowded, absolutely not eat blood pudding, raw, undercooked pork, as pork to buy the source, clearly marked with the quarantine, the pig slaughter or go to destroy sick pig mask and gloves carefully.

The Plaquemines Parish protection plan is designed to be a second line of defense behind the hard booms placed out in offshore waters. A large jack-up barge arrived from Port Fourchon last night, and was deployed from Venice this afternoon to be a supply post for fishing boats and other crews to deploy the soft, white absorbent boom when oil gets closer to shore.
"It needs to be mobile, it needs to be flexible, it needs to be adaptable," Jindal said.
Nungesser and his staff have divided up the parish into 13 separate zones for booms to be deployed, depending on the trajectory of the oil spill. There is one jack-up barge available to stage the absorbent boom at this point, but Nungesser said there are another seven barges on call.
"We're drawing our line in the sand, and we're going to draw it right where the marsh begins," Nungesser said. "There is no cleanup in Plaquemines Parish. Prevention is the only way to do this, and that's for all of coastal
Oil spotted 7 miles from the coast of Southwest Pass

AP / WWL.com Reporting
Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser said today that heavy oil has been spotted 7 miles from the coast of Southwest Pass.
Meanwhile, the Coast Guard is preparing for a controlled burn of some of the oil spilled in the Gulf of Mexico now that weather conditions are more favorable.
Spokesman Petty Officer 3rd Class Brandon Blackwell at an oil command center in Robert, La., said Wednesday that boats will skim oil from the surface of the sea and burn it.
Controlled burns are part of the toolbox of strategies officials are using to rid the Gulf of the spilled oil. Burning the oil removes it from the open water and protects the shoreline and
wildlife.
The Coast Guard says in a statement that a previous controlled burn on April 28 removed thousands of gallons of oil.

Last Update: 9:14 am
Venice – Several boaters near Plaquemines Parish say they have spotted a sheen of oil about two miles off the parish’s coast, according to Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser. The sheen is reported to be near Black Bay at the border of Plaquemines and St. Bernard parishes.
Nungesser said crews have enough time to get boom in place to protect the coast from the sheen because of where the sheen is located. He said the parish will not take the jack-up rig out to the area because the trip would take the vessel too long to make.
The Coast Guard is planning on sending a plane out to confirm the spill’s location.

As Oil Spills, Locals Buy Up Seafood
NEW ORLEANS--As a massive, growing oil spill threatens to crush the Gulf seafood industry, Louisiana locals are snatching up fresh, locally-harvested shrimp in droves.
The Crescent City Farmer's Market in uptown New Orleans was out of seafood by 11 a.m. yesterday. FOX News reported that Gulf seafood markets as far as Florida were selling four times more seafood than usual.
"I have no more seafood, sorry!" Clara Gerica, a vendor at the three-times-a-week New Orleans farmers market told a disappointed customer. "Come back Thursday or Saturday, I'll set some aside for ya."
"Today was extremely busy. I haven't had a day like this since before Katrina," explains Gerica, whose family is still rebuilding their house and three boats, all casualties of the hurricane.
From the minute the market opened, locals were lined up to secure their seafood. "People are afraid they aren't going to be able to get it," notes Gerica, adding that she is not worried about the local supply. "[The oil spill] will slow me down on crab meat, but everything else should be fine."
"Unless something drastic happens," she says, the rich fishing waters west of the Mississippi will likely be spared from oil contamination.
The hope that New Orleans will be able to keep a steady supply of fresh, local seafood is based on two assumptions: that the weather will continue to push the oil east and that BP will be able to stop the flow of oil in the next few days.
If the west side of Louisiana is spared from the "oilpocalypse", it will be heavily relied upon to help fishermen keep up with demand, much of which is local.
As well-known New Orleans chef and local foodie John Besh wrote last week in The Atlantic, "We will have a supply of seafood, but that supply will be affected. In the short term our supplies will be cut in half--and that's if we're lucky. In the long term I'm afraid for the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Texas, the Florida panhandle."
"This is much more than about birds," wrote Besh. "It's about a culture, an economy, the livelihood of thousands and thousands of people--and wetlands that have been the most concentrated source of seafood production for our entire country."

Blue-ear disease spreads in northern, central regions
8:00 AM, 05/05/2010
Blue-ear pig disease has spread to Hanoi and 10 northern and central provinces with more than 50,000 pigs infected by the virus, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development said on May 4.
The infected provinces include Hai Duong, Thai Binh, Thai Nguyen, Hung Yen, Bac Ninh, Hai Phong, Nam Dinh, Ha Nam, Lang Son and most recently, Nghe An.
Hoang Van Nam, director of the ministry’s Animal Health Department said that the localities have continued to discover infected pigs, especially in the cities and provinces of Thai Binh, Hai Phong, Ha Nam, Lang Son and Nghe An.
Nam said the epidemic is still at high risk of spreading to other northern and central areas because the quarantine stations set up in localities have proved ineffective.
Those provinces remaining unaffected by the blue-ear pig virus have already established quarantine stations.
Nam further said heads of provincial-level animal health units will have to take responsibility and be open to disciplinary action if infected pigs get through the quarantine stations.
Pham Thanh Binh, head of the Animal Health Unit in central Ha Tinh province, reported that nearly 100 infected pigs had been seized at the province’s quarantine stations while being transported between Bac Giang and Ha Tinh provinces.
The central provinces of Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Thua Thien-Hue are currently focused on checking pigs transported in their areas, he said.
Minister Cao Duc Phat asked the provinces to take drastic preventative measures and entrusted the specific tasks to the relevant authorities at a grassroots level to help people incinerate infected pigs and decontaminate surrounding areas.
With more than 2,000 pigs affected by the blue-ear virus, Hanoi’s Animal Health Unit started their contamination activities to prevent the spread of the disease, as well as establishing mobile inspection teams at quarantine stations and pig farms.
The ministry on May 4 also announced that the two central provinces of Quang Tri and Quang Ngai were still suffering from cases of bird flu in which more than 5,000 poultry had been incinerated.

PRRS spreads across Vietnam
May 5, 2010
The Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) or blue-ear disease is spreading from the north to central and southern regions of Vietnam and is likely to be co-existing with the foot-and-mouth disease, said the Veterinary Department. Since early May, PRRS has spread to 12 provinces with Ha Nam and Lang Son in the north and Nghe An in central Vietnam, the department said, adding the disease affected nearly 40,000 pigs, and nearly half of them were destroyed.

The total number of infected pigs than 49,900 children, 21,310 children have been destroyed and the speed of spread of the epidemic is still complicated. In particular, translation has appeared in the Central (Nghe An), the risk of outbreak of a new outbreak is very high here because the natural immunity of pigs decreased to very low.
While the Thai Binh, Thai Nguyen, Hung Yen, Ha Noi, Nam Dinh, Ha Nam, Lang Son and Nghe An have blue ear epidemic is not over 21 days, then in some other local translation of new outbreaks remains are incurred.

Bad selling sick pigs are the underlying causes from the less popular local public policies to support the destruction of swine, causing farmers in doubt, avoid selling declaration to save capital. So, to make good the destruction and prevent the spread of the disease, local authorities and relevant agencies early uniform level of public support to make people feel sick pigs destroyed and prevent the risk of spread
