Vampire bats attack 500 people
------------------------------
Rabid vampire bats have attacked more than 500 people in Peru's Amazon. The
attacks occurred in the village of Urakusa, in north eastern Peru, where
the indigenous [Aguaruna] tribe lives. At least 4 people [previously
reported to be children] are believed to have succumbed to rabies as a
result. Medical supplies and vaccines to treat those infected with rabies
have been sent to the tribe. Health teams are looking for people in
communities within 6 miles (10 km) of the outbreak who were attacked by
bats any time in the last 6 months.
Jose Bustamante, a Health Ministry official, said 97 per cent of the 508
people who were bitten have begun receiving an anti-rabies vaccination. It
is expected that the rest -- some of whom have rejected treatment -- will
be vaccinated in the next few days.
Rabies, a virus that causes acute inflammation of the brain, is usually
spread to humans by dog bites and has an incubation period that can last
several months.

Vampire bats attack in Peru
Saturday, August 14, 2010 » 06:06pm
Vampire bats infected with rabies have attacked more than 500 people in Peru - sparking an outbreak of the disease that has apparently killed four children.
The flying mammals, which bite then lick the blood of their victims, swooped on villagers in the northeastern Urakusa region, where the Aguajun tribe lives.
Peruvian health ministry official Jose Bustamente said four children are thought to have died from rabies as a result.
He said medical supplies and vaccines to treat those infected have been sent to the tribe.
Rabies, a virus that causes acute inflammation of the brain, is usually spread to humans by dog bites.
It has an incubation period that can last several months.
Health teams are looking for people in communities within six miles of the jungle outbreak who have been attacked by bats in the past six months.
Mr Bustamente said 97% of the 508 people who were bitten have begun receiving an anti-rabies vaccination.
It is expected that the rest - some of whom have rejected treatment - will be vaccinated in the next few days.

PRRS and rural environment
15/08/2010 00:59
News media said today has 21 provinces and cities across the country are blue ear pig with over 120 thousand pigs were infected.
However, according to MARD, the recent meeting in HCM City on 13/08, the prevention of blue ear disease is now facing many difficulties because no effective vaccine.
Ministry requires only local review the disease situation to deal with measures such as "stepping up propaganda, as well as the declaration is translated, and controls to prevent the transport of infected pigs Blue ear epidemic out of the area ... "and" strict implementation of the animal quarantine and control of slaughtering pigs, with special attention to transport pigs and pork products in unprocessed local ...".
Prior to any situation and in this operation returns, according to our above-mentioned measures of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the recommendations of the Animal Health Department is still dealing nature, prevent, including enough vaccines, rather than from the original room.
Mr. Phan Xuan Thao - Heads of Sub-City Animal Health Department said an important information: "What today is the most dangerous viruses causing PRRS PRRS in circulation both in animals and the environment numbers increased 10 times, but forces the function check and supervision so thin, can not check the source of all pigs from other provinces into ...". Also in Hai Duong province, according to Nhan Dan newspaper, from mid-April and has had blue ear pig but no power to fetch water washing cages, the disease spread as quickly because of environmental pollution ...
Thus, the rural environment is polluted both factors cause a condition has spread in recent years. Everyone knows disorder pig reproduction and respiratory (PRRS), also known as blue ear pig disease. This is an infectious disease dangerous to pigs caused by viruses. Epidemic virus in nasal, saliva, semen, feces, urine and dispersed into the environment by transporting pigs with the disease (virus in the wind can travel to 3 km), dust, saliva, farming tools and instruments of labor protection infection, artificial insemination, due to some type of wild birds and especially the flies ...
That in the rural environment now, flies are a problem because garbage is not collected and thrown indiscriminately, by raising the lack of household sanitation. The odor from livestock manure is spread through the house from other houses, but as a livelihood, the government is ultimately problematic.
So, before swine blue ear epidemic is raging from year to year causing hard times for poor people, in addition to seeking effective vaccines and other administrative measures to stop, think first of all matters set ultimately solve the environmental pollution in rural areas now need to be put on top of both the government and investors aware of the people.
'Insufficient' looking blue ear pig spread
Updated at: 9:54 AM, 14/08/2010
With nearly 36,000 blue ear pig disease has killed and destroyed, agricultural damage throughout the country thousands of billion dong. However, the agricultural sector and local authorities are still not making effective measures against the epidemic, in addition to propaganda, ditches and destroyed pig respiratory disease.
Meanwhile, according to local reports at the conference "Implementation of urgent measures to prevent blue ear disease" by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development held in HCM City yesterday, the disease situation that is not relieved We have a strong tendency outbreak spread faster.
Damage increases with speed transmission
According to his calculations Cao Van Hoa, Deputy Director of Agriculture and Rural Development in Tien Giang province, local heaviest suffered by the blue ear pig, with 14,800 dead and destroyed (nearly 50% of pig disease country), the loss of over 500 billion. If this includes damage to services trade, slaughter, transport, the amount of damage up to 1,000 billion.
Thus, nearly 36,000 pigs were killed and destroyed in 21 provinces and cities have service (up to this point) of the farmers claimed more than 2,000 billion VND. According to information from his chemistry, sources of pork and Tien Giang provinces almost no time, we have the fears of consumers purchasing a pig disease, while other markets are also limited. But consumption of resources that farmers expect a price drop in HCMC also tragic. The provincial leaders are thought to concentrate the slaughter, and frozen pork to health resources, to minimize damage to people.
The support for the herd is destroyed, many localities are very inadequate.

But according to representatives of DARD Hau Giang province, although only published translation Nga Bay in the town two days ago, but with changes in disease spread rapidly as now, then again some day, probably Late Jiang service will be announced across the province. "We have done enough" all "and still coming but translation and more powerful. We recommend all of his herd destroyed, if in a few children now sick, but folded to treat diseases of pigs is very local, "you said.
The management of animal feed is now loose as well as promote the causes disease spread. In almost all provinces, bran in the pig after pig farm service are destroyed, farms and brought back the agent, the agent is brought back to sell to other camps, in which germs spread.
With Chairman Vo Lam Phi Khanh Hoa province to declare the epidemic began on 6 / 8 at 6 communes of four districts, with nearly 200 sick pigs. But just over a week, on 13 / 8, had 36 communes in 6 districts with nearly 3,000 infected pigs.
With the situation spread too fast, only a few days, the disease will "cover" the province, except the district of Changsha. Khanh Hoa new disease destroyed 1303 pigs, 1700 pigs still awaiting destruction and disease remains unpredictable happenings. Estimated funding only anti-epidemic, Khanh Hoa need 11 billion.
Translate race disaster
Bring to bear the suffering of the local damage due to years of service time may also, Nguyen Thanh Quang, director of DARD of Quang Nam province, urgent: "Do not know what that reason three, four years , Quang Nam in any "sticky" service. When the service detects the area, have used the veterinary control measures, such as disinfection, sterilization, destruction of pig death and burial of the correct method, then slaughter inspection, but did not prevent .
Currently, the province has nearly 600,000 children herd. Not translated through the flood season is coming, Quang Nam people now sitting on the fire, because they need early to avoid consumption of natural disaster damage. But with events like this disease, we do not know what to do. "
Minister Cao Duc Phat to eat pork at the conference with the message "Do not boycott the pork!"
"We can say the fight against PRRS herd is nearly over as we're not using your hands. We only know there are excellent reef, only a few pesticides with lime! ". Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Cao Duc Phat.
With the Mekong Delta, which is where the outbreak was powerful and complicated, the current local government is very difficult to foresee the ability to control the epidemic. This region is beginning to flood, those that are translated are difficult in the destruction or burial.
Many places were identified pig disease floating around the canals, making the risk of epidemic spin out of control. Now in Ho Chi Minh City, Department of Animal Health are very tired every day determined to go salvage pig disease in canals bordering the provinces of Long An win for destruction, the people thrown into the service, even where the epidemic has not yet appeared . HCM City concerned not know the ability to "hold focus" is to day.
Combat experience and service with bureaucracy?
Mr. Nguyen Tung, deputy director of the Center for veterinary diagnostic Central Bureau of Animal Health, said: At this point, not a vaccine of blue ear pig virus. If impatient people, voluntarily purchase vaccine for pigs vaccinated elsewhere, the pig still sick, still dead. Department of Veterinary not have any recommendations on vaccine use. World has also advised not to use green ear vaccine efficiency.
According to Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat, because so far, all vaccines that Vietnam will not be effective, or not long-time effects, anti-epidemic work should be mainly based on practical experience local policy measures from previous outbreaks. Mr. Phat also said that in a survey of local service these days, where detection of pig disease to occur, the government dead, veterinary agencies discovered. Then it's too late, services have spread to many households.
Recommendations for patients with dried and then crushed pork as food for cattle, who proposed this solution that pathogenic blue ear virus exists only at temperatures below 650C, if cooked in boiling water, then completely 1000C eliminate the ability to cause disease. Minister Cao Duc Phat said that if considering the safety of these measures may be feasible to apply.
Add another reason that the situation is difficult to control because some provinces do not uniformly support price for the herd must be destroyed. Provincial support is 25,000 kg of a pig, but also consciously support only 15,000 to 20,000 dong per kg ... lead to traders, people move pigs from low to support where support is higher, Agriculture and Rural Development or pig disease stalk the market.
According to Minister Le Huy Ngo, in many localities, by limiting the propaganda, people are dead pig epidemic must be destroyed not know that they are supported by the State. Traders took advantage of this psychological pressure, causing people to sneak pork sold for $ 500,000 contract service / baby weighing 1000 kg, while bringing destruction can support more than 2 million.
Mr. Pham Xuan Thao, Department of Animal Health Department HCMC, said the test herd imported from other provinces in HCM City recently, almost all the sample results are for viral pathogens, while permit from the provincial animal health agencies when exported are certified healthy pigs sources. The reason for this is because dealers license healthy pigs, but pig disease to go underground consumption, in order to collect your profits.
"Everyday I also eat pork!"
Mr. Phat stressed, though complex disease, but to be source swine veterinary inspection bodies, certification and quarantine clear, then people can secure to use. Do not worry, excessive pork boycott. "Everyday I also eat pork!" He said Phat.
Nguyen Phuoc Trung, deputy director of HCMC Department of Agriculture and Rural Development said the city had planned Affairs Department of Trade and Industry, Agriculture and Rural Development organized the acquisition of pig enterprises, aiming to stabilize prices and stabilize the market. Anything consumed immediately, the consumer, otherwise reserve, the translation is to make consumption of meat, for sure after this severe outbreak, schools would be the lack of pork.
Despite not making the solution effective prevention and control, but to avoid damage, it was suggested that, should treat swine disease by bringing about the plant, dried, finely ground to feed. A factory in Binh Duong province has also accepted this approach, however, required to make boiled pig disease before putting on the factory. However, many people are concerned how this data is safe in case the virus does not cause death?. Minister Cao Duc Phat, the proposed local research and provide excellent measures soon, can be applied to many places.
With nearly 36,000 blue ear pig disease has killed and destroyed, agricultural damage throughout the country thousands of billion dong. However, the agricultural sector and local authorities are still not making effective measures against the epidemic, in addition to propaganda, ditches and destroyed pig respiratory disease.

With Chairman Vo Lam Phi Khanh Hoa province to declare the epidemic began on 6 / 8 at 6 communes of four districts, with nearly 200 sick pigs. But just over a week, on 13 / 8, had 36 communes in 6 districts with nearly 3,000 infected pigs.
With the situation spread too fast, only a few days, the disease will "cover" the province, except the district of Changsha. Khanh Hoa new disease destroyed 1303 pigs, 1700 pigs still awaiting destruction and disease remains unpredictable happenings. Estimated funding only anti-epidemic, Khanh Hoa need 11 billion.
Translate race disaster
Bring to bear the suffering of the local damage due to years of service time may also, Nguyen Thanh Quang, director of DARD of Quang Nam province, urgent: "Do not know what that reason three, four years , Quang Nam in any "sticky" service. When the service detects the area, have used the veterinary control measures, such as disinfection, sterilization, destruction of pig death and burial of the correct method, then slaughter inspection, but did not prevent .
Currently, the province has nearly 600,000 children herd. Not translated through the flood season is coming, Quang Nam people now sitting on the fire, because they need early to avoid consumption of natural disaster damage. But with events like this disease, we do not know what to do. "
Minister Cao Duc Phat to eat pork at the conference with the message "Do not boycott the pork!"
"We can say the fight against PRRS herd is nearly over as we're not using your hands. We only know there are excellent reef, only a few pesticides with lime! ". Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Cao Duc Phat.
With the Mekong Delta, which is where the outbreak was powerful and complicated, the current local government is very difficult to foresee the ability to control the epidemic. This region is beginning to flood, those that are translated are difficult in the destruction or burial.
Many places were identified pig disease floating around the canals, making the risk of epidemic spin out of control. Now in Ho Chi Minh City, Department of Animal Health are very tired every day determined to go salvage pig disease in canals bordering the provinces of Long An win for destruction, the people thrown into the service, even where the epidemic has not yet appeared . HCM City concerned not know the ability to "hold focus" is to day.
Combat experience and service with bureaucracy?
Mr. Nguyen Tung, deputy director of the Center for veterinary diagnostic Central Bureau of Animal Health, said: At this point, not a vaccine of blue ear pig virus. If impatient people, voluntarily purchase vaccine for pigs vaccinated elsewhere, the pig still sick, still dead. Department of Veterinary not have any recommendations on vaccine use. World has also advised not to use green ear vaccine efficiency.
According to Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat, because so far, all vaccines that Vietnam will not be effective, or not long-time effects, anti-epidemic work should be mainly based on practical experience local policy measures from previous outbreaks. Mr. Phat also said that in a survey of local service these days, where detection of pig disease to occur, the government dead, veterinary agencies discovered. Then it's too late, services have spread to many households.
Recommendations for patients with dried and then crushed pork as food for cattle, who proposed this solution that pathogenic blue ear virus exists only at temperatures below 650C, if cooked in boiling water, then completely 1000C eliminate the ability to cause disease. Minister Cao Duc Phat said that if considering the safety of these measures may be feasible to apply.
Add another reason that the situation is difficult to control because some provinces do not uniformly support price for the herd must be destroyed. Provincial support is 25,000 kg of a pig, but also consciously support only 15,000 to 20,000 dong per kg ... lead to traders, people move pigs from low to support where support is higher, Agriculture and Rural Development or pig disease stalk the market.
According to Minister Le Huy Ngo, in many localities, by limiting the propaganda, people are dead pig epidemic must be destroyed not know that they are supported by the State. Traders took advantage of this psychological pressure, causing people to sneak pork sold for $ 500,000 contract service / baby weighing 1000 kg, while bringing destruction can support more than 2 million.
Mr. Pham Xuan Thao, Department of Animal Health Department HCMC, said the test herd imported from other provinces in HCM City recently, almost all the sample results are for viral pathogens, while permit from the provincial animal health agencies when exported are certified healthy pigs sources. The reason for this is because dealers license healthy pigs, but pig disease to go underground consumption, in order to collect your profits.
"Everyday I also eat pork!"
Mr. Phat stressed, though complex disease, but to be source swine veterinary inspection bodies, certification and quarantine clear, then people can secure to use. Do not worry, excessive pork boycott. "Everyday I also eat pork!" He said Phat.
Nguyen Phuoc Trung, deputy director of HCMC Department of Agriculture and Rural Development said the city had planned Affairs Department of Trade and Industry, Agriculture and Rural Development organized the acquisition of pig enterprises, aiming to stabilize prices and stabilize the market. Anything consumed immediately, the consumer, otherwise reserve, the translation is to make consumption of meat, for sure after this severe outbreak, schools would be the lack of pork.
Despite not making the solution effective prevention and control, but to avoid damage, it was suggested that, should treat swine disease by bringing about the plant, dried, finely ground to feed. A factory in Binh Duong province has also accepted this approach, however, required to make boiled pig disease before putting on the factory. However, many people are concerned how this data is safe in case the virus does not cause death?. Minister Cao Duc Phat, the proposed local research and provide excellent measures soon, can be applied to many places.
Disease suspected in deaths of young cormorants
8/13/10
An apparent outbreak of disease has taken a toll on young double-crested cormorants on Lake Vermilion’s Potato Island.
More than 50 of the young birds were found dead this week by a tribal biologist, and others were found with symptoms of neurological damage. The symptoms were similar to Newscastle’s Disease, an avian virus that has taken a toll on cormorant populations elsewhere in Minnesota, but DNR wildlife veterinarian Erika Butler said the actual cause of the bird deaths on Lake Vermilion likely won’t be confirmed for 2-3 weeks.
Newcastle’s Disease mostly affects juvenile birds, and it has proven particularly virulent among cormorant populations. The population of cormorants on Lake Vermilion has increased sharply in recent years, a development that has created concerns for anglers, who view the cormorants as competitors for game fish.
A total of 307 cormorant nests were discovered on Potato Island earlier this year, so the deaths of 50 young birds is unlikely to have much impact on the cormorant population. “It will slow down recruitment this year,” said Butler.
First cholera case in flood-stricken Pakistan
12:27 15/08/2010
OUTBREAK: The United Nations has confirmed the first case of cholera in flood-stricken Pakistan.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said yesterday 20 million people had been affected by the worst floods in the country's history as the UN confirmed the first cholera case.
Independence day celebrations were cancelled as floods continued to bring misery to millions and aid agencies warned of a ''second wave'' of deaths from disease.
''The floods affected about 20 million people, destroyed standing crops and food storages worth billions of dollars, causing colossal loss to the national economy,'' Mr Gilani said in a televised address to the nation.
''I would appeal to the world community to extend a helping hand to fight this calamity.''
The United Nations has appealed for $US460 million ($513 million) to deal with the immediate aftermath of the floods, but charities say the figure falls far short of what is needed.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was due to arrive in Pakistan late yesterday to discuss the relief effort and visit flood-hit areas.
''This is the worst-ever calamity for us and the entire nation will have to show courage to face it,'' Mr Gilani said.
''I am pretty confident that the nation will once again emerge victorious from this crisis.
''Outbreak of epidemics in the flood-hit areas is a serious threat, which can further compound the already grave situation.''
''There has been at least one cholera confirmed case in Mingora,'' said Maurizio Giuliano, spokesman for the UN Office for Humanitarian Affairs, referring to the main town in the north-western district of Swat.
Mr Giuliano said at least 36,000 people were reportedly suffering from acute watery diarrhoea.
''We're not suggesting that everyone who has acute watery diarrhoea has cholera, but cholera is certainly a concern and that's why we're stepping up our efforts to treat cholera,'' he said.
Charities said relief for those affected by the worst natural disaster in Pakistan's history was lagging far behind what was needed.
''There are millions of people needing food, clean water and medical care and they need it right now,'' said Jacques de Maio, head of operations for South Asia at the International Committee of the Red Cross.
''Clearly at this point in time, the overall relief effort cannot keep pace with the overall scale of the emergency,'' he said.
Humanitarian agencies in Pakistan were monitoring the risk of ''a second wave of deaths induced by the floods in the shape of water-borne diseases'', Mr de Maio said, adding that it was impossible to measure the full scale of the disaster.
Pigs in Indonesia have asymptomatic H5N1 infections
An international team of researchers reports finding asymptomatic H5N1 avian influenza infections in pigs in Indonesia in 2005, 2006, and 2007, suggesting that the animals offer the virus an opportunity to adapt to mammals. The team sampled pigs in several areas of Indonesia during three rainy seasons: January and February 2005, October 2006 to February 2007, and November 2008 to April 2009, according to their early-release report in Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID). They found H5N1 viruses in 52 of 702 samples (7.4%). All the positive samples were collected in the first two seasons and came from areas where poultry outbreaks of H5N1 had occurred. None of the pigs showed signs of flu-like illness at the time of sample collection.
A phylogenetic analysis showed that the viruses had been introduced into pigs in Indonesia on at least three occasions. The researchers also found one isolate that had the ability to recognize human-type virus receptors. "Our data suggest that pigs are at risk for infection during outbreaks of influenza virus A(H5N1) and can serve as intermediate hosts in which the virus can adapt to mammals," they conclude.

Starting from the test at the Great Hall of Quality Testing and Certification of Veterinary Drugs (BPMSOH), Serpong, Tangerang, the end of January 2004, certain subtypes of bird flu virus in Indonesia. A number of researchers conducted the last test to determine the virus subtype. The presence of the bird flu virus continues to mutate to be found in pigs and presumably in humans.

Thus an article written Edward Hammod, U.S. policy researchers, 12 August at Immunocompetent site. He was not willing to accept papers Richard Holbrooke and Laurie Garrett titled "'Sovereignty' That Risks Global Health" at U.S. daily, the Washington Post, August 10, 2008 edition.
Holbrooke is now the President of the Global Business Coalition on HIV / AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. Previously he was U.S. ambassador to the UN. Garrett is a Pulitzer-winning journalist and senior researcher at the Council on Foreign Relations, U.S..
Holbrooke and Garrett Hammond criticized because of articles criticizing the harsh attitude of sturdy former Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari. Former Minister of Health refused to surrender the bird flu virus samples, which targeted a number of global pharmaceutical corporation, by reason of it is the right of the sovereign state of Indonesia which is protected in accordance with international law.
Holbrooke and Garrett attacking attitude Siti citing "sovereignty" to give a global health risk. The reason, the bird flu virus in Indonesia that could be transmitted lintar national borders, spreading the disease globally. The sample finally submitted to the World Health Organization (WHO) by RI.
In essence, Hammond would like to remind the virus through his article that the ownership of any immunity based on state sovereignty. "Clearly, the two authors was mistaken because it ignores just like that, especially, 20 years of time discussing the Convention on Biological Diversity, which along with the various international instruments recognize the sovereignty of a country over genetic resources, including microbes. Viruses, was no exception, is the ownership of genetic resources oeh strengthened the country's sovereignty, whether Holbrooke and Garrett want to admit it or not. "
Hammond reminded, in a discussion about the convention of biological diversity that he was present, and Holbrooke was never involved in discussions. Holbrooke and Garrett was also writes that the WHO has asked the global pharmaceutical companies not to exploit it for commercial purposes genetics.
Why the bird flu virus this issue became prominent in certain circles observer genetic resources? "Virus-virus, for vaccine-producing company, is an important resource," said Managing Director Biofarma Iskandar, who recently hosted an international conference about the vaccine.
Hammond admits, though there are issues of sovereignty, transfer of viruses can be carried out sampling scheme based on the material transfer agreement (MTA). Based on the MTA, submission of samples of viruses just for the sake of research, not development to commercialization.
Writing WHO website, a new vaccine for the H5N1 strain combinations have been developed by the WHO Collaborating Center for the Surveillance, Epidemiology and Control of Influenza at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (WHO CC), Atlanta, USA, with ingredients from A/Egypt/2321 -NAMRU3/2007.

The New England Journal of Medicine published Baxter International Inc., which is listed on stock exchanges in New York, USA, produces the vaccine candidate from the body neutralize the H5N1 virus, related to bird flu.
Hammond wrote in his article, which rejected the Washington Post, that the evidence appears contradictory. Although the WHO confirms the results do not happen commercialization virus research, in fact, some companies have patents registered in the U.S. and international patent agencies on hundreds of genetic sequence of H5N1, which has been freely submitted by Indonesia and other countries.
One vaccine by using strains in Vietnam has obtained a patent license. "These companies intend to make a profit from the sale of vaccines and Indonesia and other countries do not receive anything," says Hammond.

All this reminds us of the Economics Nobel Prize-winning article in 2001, Joseph E Stiglitz, titled "Scrooge and intellectual property rights" in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), December 23, 2006.
He wrote that the Uruguay round in 1995 moved to establish a World Trade Organisation (WTO), which applies to U.S. style intellectual property rights throughout the country. This aims to reduce access to generic drugs and succeeded. As a result, billions of people could not afford medicines they need because they have to pay patent .... This is also supported by WHO.

Lima, ago. 14 (ANDINA). The Ministry of Health (MoH) reported that the outbreak of plague in the department of La Libertad is under control, due to the technical assistance that continues to provide the sector, as well as prevention and control measures against this evil that implements and reinforces Libertad regional government.
A report by the General Directorate of Health Promotion Minsa, specialist in charge of Hamilton García Díaz, underlines the commitment of the Chamber of Commerce of La Libertad with the National Health Strategy (NSS Zoonoses) to strengthen prevention work takes place in ports and slaughterhouses, to control rodents in their establishments.
Business Guild President, Victor Peralta, said that in total are available to support action that promotes the MoH and the Regional Health Management.
He said this week convened its members to act immediately in support of disease control.
Technical assistance has the support of specialists from the MoH and the World Health Organization (WHO) and Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).
Meanwhile, the MoH will continue to monitor the actions of epidemiological surveillance, vector control, fumigation and trapping rodents and fleas for the presence of Yersinia pestis and strengthen surveillance and vector control, since there are still areas of African wildlife reservoirs .
This task is in charge of the Department of Epidemiology, National Institute of Health, Directorate General of Health (Digesa), Directorate General of Health of the People (DGSP) and the Directorate General of Health Promotion (DGPS).
On the treatment of people affected is free in all cases of bubonic plague, including hospitalization. In addition, 100 percent of the family and hospital contacts have been identified and have been given antibiotic prophylaxis treatment, according to the MoH.
The average incubation period of pneumonic plague is three days, for that reason intensified biosecurity measures in hospitals to prevent further infections.
He points out that mid-July a workshop was held macro-regional epidemiological database for monitoring, control and prevention of plague in northern Peru, in order to optimize pest control plans, and the areas involved Piura, Sullana, Lambayeque, La Libertad and Cajamarca and others.
Among the measures recommended to address the outbreak of plague include not eliminate rodents during the presentation of the outbreak of the plague, because release of fleas increases the risk of spread of the disease.
Make the proper storage of crops in rodent-proof granaries, adequate disposal of waste (sanitary burial), as well as food in rodent-proof containers.
Also improve the structure of the rodent-proof homes (Eliminate holes, cracks, routes of entry over the ceilings, etc.), among others.

MOH and WHO are working together to contain an outbreak of bubonic plague
August 14, 2010 • 9:49
Three people have died in the last two months in Peru by the outbreak of bubonic plague and pneumonic plague that affects mainly the north.
According to Health Minister Oscar Ugarte, more than 30 people infected by the disease, he said, "is under control."
Of the three deaths, the first two died of bubonic plague, transmitted by rodent flea bites, while the third died of pneumonic plague, the most deadly version, which is transmitted between humans.
Ugarte outbreak blamed the burning of agricultural land and crops including sugar cane, which he said has led to the arrival of rodent pests of the people.
No more fatalities
Officials of the World Health Organization (WHO) working with the Peruvian authorities to contain the outbreak ensured that cases are being processed at this time are not fatal.
According to these officials, most of the cases reported so far are a mixture of bubonic plague and pneumonic.
