cholera vaccine :: Article Creator Global Oral Cholera Vaccine Stockpile Empty, Says WHO Geneva: There are no more oral cholera vaccines left in the global stockpile, the World Health Organization said Friday, with the shortage jeopardising work to stop the disease's spread.

"As of October 14, the global stockpile of oral cholera vaccine is depleted, with no remaining doses available," the WHO said. "Although more doses are expected in the coming weeks, this shortage poses significant challenges to outbreak response efforts and hampers efforts to control the spread of the disease."

types of plasmodium causing malaria :: Article Creator Eliminating Malaria: Unraveling The Mysteries Of Parasitic Transmission And Metamorphosis Plasmodium parasites that cause Malaria infect hundreds of millions each year, but we still lack a full understanding of how they transmit from host to host and the conditions that enable Plasmodium parasites to multiply inside the liver before assaulting the body. What efforts are being made to illuminate these processes and reveal parasitic vulnerabilities that can be exploited in new drugs to combat this deadly disease? First, Lyn-Marié Birkholtz of the University of Pretoria in South Africa will give an introduction to the disease and describe the principles of antimalarial drug discovery that prioritizes transmission-blocking in candidates, including how her lab measures a block in the transmission of the parasite from the human host to the mosquito, the ideal profile of a transmission-blocking candi

plague epidemic :: Article Creator Combatting The Ancient Threat: WHO's Updated Guidelines For Plague Control An Ancient Disease, A Modern Threat  Despite its historical reputation, the plague remains a significant global health threat. Re-emerging in regions once thought safe, the disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis can spread rapidly in communities, causing devastating outbreaks if left unchecked.

deet malaria :: Article Creator How To Avoid Malaria By Fred Mawer, The Mail on Sunday When Henry Trumpington returned from a holiday in the Gambia he brought back with him a host of great memories - and a disease that nearly claimed his life. Three days after arriving home, Henry, a 48-year-old London barrister, started to develop flu-like symptoms. He wasn't too worried at first, putting his condition down to a common cold virus and ruling out malaria because he didn't realise the disease's incubation period could be so short. Map showing areas in the world where malaria occurs But malaria is exactly what Henry did have and, by the time he ended up in hospital, he was very ill, with internal bleeding and 'dementia of biblical proportions', as he puts it.

history about the spanish flu :: Article Creator Inside The Swift, Deadly History Of The Spanish Flu Pandemic Scientist Johan Hultin traveled to Brevig Mission, Alaska, a town of a few hundred souls in the summer of 1997. He was searching for buried bodies, and Alaska's frozen ground was the perfect place to find them. Digging through the permafrost—with permission from the town's authorities—he eventually uncovered a woman who died almost 80 years previously and was in a state of excellent preservation. Hultin then extracted samples of the woman's lung before reinterring her. He intended to use this to decode the genetic sequence of the virus that had killed this Inuit woman along with 90 percent of the town's population. Brevig Mission was just one place that was part of a global tragedy, one of the worst ever to befall humanity: the influenza pandemic of 1918-19. The outbreak of this influenza virus, also known as Spanish flu,
