Second TB case causes concern USA..
This week's news that a second East Gadsden High School student had been discovered with tuberculosis was a shock to county residents. But officials say they're taking an aggressive approach to the health problem. "Testing is ongoing," said Sylvia Byrd, administrator for the Gadsden County Health Department, which is reporting an abundance of phone calls from concerned residents, "and precautions are being taken to ensure transmission remains at a minimum." con.t

LA County health officials find first two West Nile cases of 2007
Associated PressLOS ANGELES - A dead crow and a mosquito pool became the first cases of West Nile virus in Los Angeles County this year, officials said. Vector control officials announced the positive tests Friday of the crow in Los Angeles and the mosquitoes in Rowland Heights. West Nile tests don't usually begin until spring, when the virus is likely to spread. Increased funding this year has meant earlier testing, but without results from previous years the findings are not yet of much use to health officials. "There isn't much to compare it with to see if it's significant," said county vector control director Robert Saviskas. Mosquito pools are a unit of measurement for labs that test for West Nile in mosquitoes. A pool consists of one to 99 trapped mosquitoes, which are then squished into a mash and put through a separation process. |

Birdlady2 hi this news item is from Sept 2005 . It's well entrenced now .. New Dog Flu Spreads in U.S., But Death Rate Is LowSeptember 27, 2005
A new, highly contagious respiratory virus thought to affect only the greyhound racing industry is now being detected in family dogs. Canine influenza, a sometimes deadly disease, has struck pet dogs in New York, Florida, and Massachusetts, researchers said at a press conference held yesterday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Edward Dubovi at Cornell University's Animal Health Diagnostic Center in Ithaca, New York, said serum samples from a number of suspected outbreak cases are arriving at his laboratory for testing.
He says he should know by the end of this week if the virus has infected more pets in other states. Jumping Species Canine flu was first discovered last year after an unusual illness began to appear at greyhound racetracks in Florida. Cornell virologists, working with researchers at the CDC and the University of Florida, determined the sick greyhounds had a type of influenza ordinarily found only in horses. This finding is the first scientific report of an equine influenza virus jumping the species barrier, and researchers are unsure how it occurred. Virtually 100 percent of exposed dogs become infected, the researchers said. The virus is spread from dog to dog via coughing, contaminated objects, and even people. Nearly 80 percent of dogs exposed to the virus contract only a mild form of the disease, which mimics kennel cough—a type of canine bronchitis that is rarely serious. Canine influenza symptoms include low-grade fever, cough, and nasal discharge. Nearly 20 percent of infected animals do not display any clinical signs but can still spread the disease.
