Health officials in the Philippines have reported 128 confirmed and 200 suspected cases of leptospirosis. Many of the infections are likely to have arisen through contact with flood waters after heavy rains brought by tropical storm Washi in mid-December. The areas most affected by the leptospirosis outbreak, Iligan and Cagayan de Oro in the south of the country, were also the areas hardest hit by the floods. The outbreak has claimed the lives of four people so far. (Source: The Lancet Infectious Diseases)

Porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus: a comprehensive review of molecular epidemiology, diagnosis, and vaccines
Tue, 24 Jan 2012 07:16:23 +0100 | Virus Genes
Abstract  The porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV), a member of the Coronaviridae family, causes acute diarrhoea and dehydration in pigs. Although it was first identified in Europe, it has become increasingly problematic in many Asian countries, including Korea, China, Japan, the Philippines, and Thailand. The economic impacts of the PEDV are substantial, given that it results in significant morbidity and mortality in neonatal piglets and is associated with increased costs related to vaccination and disinfection. Recently, progress has been made in understanding the molecular epidemiology of PEDV, thereby leading to the development of new vaccines. In the current review, we first describe the molecular and genetic characteristics of the PEDV. Then we discuss its molecula...

Prevalence and risk factors for third- and fourth-degree perineal lacerations during vaginal delivery: a multi-country study.
Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:22:00 +0100 | BJOG : An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Conclusions  Misdiagnosis of third- and fourth-degree perineal lacerations in developing countries may be common. Correct recognition and diagnosis may lead to timely treatment and fewer sequelae. Risk factors of third- and fourth-degree perineal lacerations in developing countries were similar to those previously reported from developed countries.

Geographic Information System and tools of spatial analysis in a pneumococcal vaccine trial
Fri, 20 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100 | BioMed Central
Conclusions: The collection of geographic locations in intervention trials should become a routine task. The results of public health research may highly depend on spatial relationships among the study subjects and between the study subjects and the environment, both natural and infrastructural.Trial registrationCurrent Controlled Trials ISRCTN62323832 (Source: BioMed Central)
