WHO

Outbreak : plaque in Madagaskar!

From 23 August to 30 September 2017, a total of 73 suspected, probable, and confirmed cases of pneumonic plague, including 17 deaths have been reported in Madagascar. The diagnosis was confirmed by the Institut Pasteur de Madagascar by polymerase chain reaction test or using rapid diagnostic test.
The outbreak started following the death of a 31-year-old male from Ankazobe District in the Central Highlands (Hauts-Plateaux), a plague-endemic area. Since then, the Ministry of Public Health of Madagascar enhanced field investigations, contact tracing, surveillance, and monitoring all close contacts.

plaque is what you get on your teeth when you don't brush---I'm sure this is a big problem in Madagascar along with gum disease. Nonetheless, I think the word you want in the thread title is PLAGUE not PLAQUE.

Verstehen sie das, mine freund?

MODS---please fix the title of this thread to read "plague" instead of "plaque".

Damm sorry for that handy post maybe i was in shock meeting my dentist lol

The WHO text was correct : Link

http://www.who.int/csr/disease/plague/en/

Plague is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis, a zoonotic bacteria, usually found in small mammals and their fleas. It is transmitted between animals from their fleas. Humans can be contaminated by the bite of infected fleas, through direct contact with infected materials or by inhalation...

Unlike past outbreaks, which have been mostly located in rural, mountainous areas, this one is spreading in cities. Cases have now been reported in 10 cities including the capital and the coastal cities of Toamasina and Mahajanga.

"We are concerned that plague could spread further because it is already present in several cities, and this is only the start of the epidemic season," says Tarik Jasarevic, a spokesman for the World Health Organization.

Black Death and Abrupt Earth Changes in the 14th century
BY SACHA DOBLER ON 25. MAY 2017 •

Then I’d like to direct the attention to the changes that took place directly before and during the pandemic, and the sudden ramping up of some of the before mentioned phenomena: earthquakes, noxious gases, storms, meteor/ comet sightings, “fire from the sky”, floods, lightning events and other atmospheric electrical phenomena, erratic human behavior. You might be able to get an impression on why many people at the time believed the Biblical End Times had begun.

And only a well informed and responsible society could.
In the interest of the concept of the ‘Renewal of life’, at the end of this text, I will touch on the
exploration in the question, whether some if these phases of change, however directly
devastating they turn out to be for many individuals at the time, could have an overall
beneficial effect for the evolution of life and even human consciousness....

WHO provides 1.2 million antibiotics to fight plague in Madagascar

News release

6 OCTOBER 2017 | ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR - WHO has delivered nearly 1.2 million doses of antibiotics and released US$1.5 million dollars in emergency funds to fight plague in Madagascar.

"Plague is curable if detected in time. Our teams are working to ensure that everyone at risk has access to protection and treatment. The faster we move, the more lives we save," said Dr. Charlotte Ndiaye, WHO Representative in Madagascar.

WHO has delivered 1 190 000 doses of antibiotics to the Ministry of Health and partners this week, and a further supply of 244 000 doses is expected in the days ahead.

The different types of drugs will be used for both curative and prophylactic care. They are enough to treat up to 5000 patients and protect up to 100 000 people who may be exposed to the disease.

The medicines are being distributed to health facilities and mobile health clinics across the country with the support of the Ministry of Health and partners.

WHO is also filling critical shortages in disinfection materials and personal protective equipment for health professionals and safe burials.

WHO and the Ministry of Health are training local health workers on how to identify and care for patients, and how to trace people who have had close contact with symptomatic patients so that they may be given protective treatment.

Most of the 231 infections and 33 deaths that the Ministry of Health has reported since August are associated with pneumonic plague – a more dangerous form of the disease that affects the lungs and is transmitted through coughing at close range.

Both bubonic and pneumonic plague can be cured using common antibiotics if delivered early. Antibiotics can also help prevent infection among people who have been exposed to plague.

WHO has rapidly released $1.5 Million from it emergency funds to allow for immediate support to the country until more substantial funds are received.

WHO is appealing for US$5.5 million to effectively respond to the outbreak and save lives.

More than a million doses of antibiotics have been delivered by the World Health Organization to fight an outbreak of plague in Madagascar which has killed at least 33 people.
The authorities have also banned prison visits in the two worst affected areas to prevent the spread of the disease.
The risk of contamination is high in overcrowded and unsanitary jails.
There has recently been criticism of the government's perceived slow reaction to the outbreak.




The authorities are launching a major drive to combat plague in Antananarivo and have set up checkpoints in the city

Multiple barriers to ending Madagascar’s plague outbreak
Almost unknown elsewhere, plague is currently infecting hundreds in the impoverished island nation. Andrew Masterson reports.
These were correlated against location information, with the result that the scientists were able to classify the strains into 18 geographically and genetically distinct subpopulations. These subpopulations have persisted for at least two decades.

Wagner and his team found that the geographically distinct plague groups were often carried by people from one area to another, but once transmitted seldom if ever established a new territory.

Thus, there is no single dominant strain of the bacteria on the island, which might make a useful target for any one-size-fits-all treatment. The team found that, instead, different geographic and genetic subtypes flared at different periods, causing outbreaks.......

http://www.seychellesnewsagency.com/art ... +officials



The Minister of Health, Jean-Paul Adam, made the statement in the National Assembly on Wednesday when answering an urgent question from the Leader of the Opposition, Wavel Ramkalawan.

Adam was called to the National Assembly after the first case of pneumonic plague in Seychelles was confirmed on Tuesday. The patient is a man who returned to Mahe, the main island, last Friday, October 6 on board the last Air Seychelles flight from Madagascar.

The health minister also confirmed that 258 people are currently under observation and receiving treatment after the first case of pneumonic plague was detected.

“The 258 includes 41 passengers and seven crew from the flight, 12 close family members, and 18 staff and patients from the Anse Boileau health centre where the man went when he fell ill.”

The man disobeyed instructions given upon his arrival to remain at home for a period of time and attended a party that same evening. The minister explained that the result of the tests conducted on the infected man was sent to the Pasteur Institute in Paris, which confirmed the pneumonic plague.

Adam said that “all the 170 people who were at the party including the 13 staff working at the venue are also under passive surveillance.”

“We were already putting Seychellois and tourists under active observation at their homes or at hotels. But as from today, all those arriving from Madagascar will be put in isolation for six days,” the Minister said. ....

PLAGUE ARE GETTING TOTAL OUT OF CONTROLE

Madagascans battle to evade growing plague outbreak
October 11, 2017
The little footbridge near Justin Rakatoarivony's home is submerged in a murky green liquid the texture of sewage.

But he has no choice but to cross it every day on his way to work in Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar.
The filthy conditions in his area, the southern Ampefiloha district, make him worry that he will be the next victim of the plague outbreak sweeping the country.
His fear is far from unfounded: the disease has already killed 25 people in Antananarivo since August, according to the health ministry.
"The plague is a disease that comes from the filth, because the filth attracts rats, and rats carry fleas which transmit the plague to humans," said Rakotoarivony, 45.
"I fear getting the plague here, but I don't have any choice, I have to cross this bridge every day, so I do it at speed."
Rakotoarivony is one of many on the Indian Ocean island nation who are increasingly fearful of the unusually virulent outbreak that has so far killed 54 people nationwide and infected 276 in the capital and its outskirts.
Everyone who crosses the bridge puts on a brave face despite the flow of brackish water and domestic rubbish beneath.
"The plague can kill in 12 hours," Edmond Rakotondrasoa, 46, a used-phone salesman, told AFP.
"But I'm not scared because I'm a believer and God wrote in the Bible, 'I will protect you from all epidemics'."
Scrap-metal merchants do business beside the accumulated detritus near the canal without a thought for the unhygienic surroundings.
Madagascar's outbreak includes bubonic plague, in which the germ Yersinia pestis is spread by infected rats via fleabites, and pneumonic plague, a particularly dangerous form which spreads from person to person via airborne droplets.
One of the traders there has already been diagnosed as a carrier of pneumonic plague.
The individual was hospitalised in a specialist clinic in Antananarivo—but discharged himself before completing his treatment.
'Spitting blood'
"Following our efforts to raise awareness about the plague, a group brought in a 24-year-old man who was spitting blood," said Rabenjaminahobianintra Harimanana, head doctor at the Isotry Central health clinic.
"Tests (for plague) came back positive, so after being given initial treatment he was sent to the Ambohimiandra Anti-plague Clinic.


"But he escaped from the centre and was seen once again trading in the market."
Authorities sought to reason with him, but he fled again.
He was declared a wanted man but is still at large.
"He was scared because he was a repeat offender who had been released from prison," said Harimanana.
"We alerted the police so they can return him to hospital if they find him."
Hanitra Randrianarison, a senior medical official in Antananarivo, said "this fugitive patient risks spreading the disease very quickly to anyone who gets within two metres (six foot) of him."
President Hery Rajaonarimampianina on Tuesday described tackling the plague in military terms.
"We are at war... and today I think we have the weapons and munitions to fight this epidemic," he said in his first public comments on the crisis as he visited affected areas.
The current crisis was sparked on August 28 after a single fatality in the central town of Ankazobe. The victim, a passenger in a public taxi, passed away as the vehicle travelled across the country.
They infected two other passengers who died at the beginning of September in Tamatave, a town on the island's east coast that had gone for 100 years without a single recorded instance of the plague.
Now some 500 cases of plague have been identified nationwide, prompting authorities to take drastic measures.
'A baseless rumour'
Passengers at Antananarivo's transport hubs are subject to medical inspections, infected areas have been fumigated to kill fleas, public gatherings are banned, and schools and universities have been shut.
"Local health inspectors are working to identify people infected with the plague and to inform people about the importance of hygiene and cleanliness," said Randrianarison.
"All of the local communities in Antananarivo have been taking part in a city-wide clean-up drive."
This week, the health ministry trained 384 local health inspectors to deal with plague in Antananarivo.
Among them was Norosoa Raharimalala, who works in Ivandry district in the capital's north.
Unlike some of those who live and walk alongside the filthy Andriantany canal, the people of Ivandry have been panicked by the plague outbreak, according to Norosoa.
They no longer shake hands to greet one another, and avoid standing close to each other.
"It takes a plague for people in our area to appreciate cleanliness and hygiene," said Raharimalala.....

SOUTH AFRICA
South African successfully treated after contracting plague

BY BAFANA NZIMANDE

A South African basketball player who had contracted plague in Madagascar has been successfully treated.

The player has returned to South Africa and the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) on Thursday issued a statement saying the player does not pose any health risk.

Details about the player and the team have not been established yet by TimesLIVE but the NICD is in contact with the group and has mentioned that it will follow up on them.

The NICD warned South Africans travelling to Madagascar to be highly cautious of their surroundings as the country is experiencing an outbreak........
*****************
CAPE TOWN - The National Institute for Communicable Diseases says there are plans in place should the pneumonic plague reach South Africa.

More than 340 people have been infected and 42 have died following an outbreak of the disease in Madagascar.

The institute's John Frean explains: “We’re prepared for the eventuality. Preparations are being mad to cope with that possibility.”

The pneumonic plague is described as a severe lung infection.

The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention says that people should look out for symptoms like fever, headache, weakness, a rapidly developing pneumonia with shortness of breath, chest pain, cough and sometimes bloody or watery mucous.

Climate Dependence of the Flea Vectors and Rodent Hosts

The plague system is the result of complex interactions between its components, the densities, life cycle, dynamics and geographical distributions all of which are individually influenced by climate variables. Climate variables influence the dynamics of flea vectors and rodent hosts with responses varying considerably among species [7], [8]. Figure 1 illustrates the plague cycle in relation to those climate variables known to be important (namely temperature, humidity and precipitation) to the main plague hosts and vectors.

The Black Death is killing people: Why is Madagascar facing its worst plague outbreak in years?

http://www.latimes.com/world/africa/la- ... story.html

The outbreak has caused panic, with reports of people buying antibiotics from drugstores, unaware whether they were getting the correct drug.

The parents of one small boy suspected of having pneumonic plague took him from the hospital and fled, posing a risk to his life, themselves and any other people he might come in contact with, Dr. Manitra Rakotoarivony told local media.

How widely could the plague spread?

According to the WHO, the risk that the plague will spread throughout Madagascar is high.

“Pneumonic plague is a form of plague that is transmissible from person to person, with a potential to trigger severe epidemics if inadequately controlled,” the organization said in a statement.

It said there was also a moderate risk the disease could spread to other countries in Africa, because there are frequent flights to nearby countries and Indian Ocean islands.

But according to the WHO, the danger of the plague spreading around the globe is low.

The Seychelles government ordered schools to close Friday, after the discovery of two suspected cases of plague thought to have been brought from Madagascar where the disease has killed scores.

The health ministry has also put under surveillance 320 people who have come into contact with the two patients.

A total of 12 people showing plague-like symptoms have been admitted to hospital and given antibiotics.

Panic gripped parents on the Indian Ocean archipelago after some students developed fevers in recent days, leading to the school closures.

"We made this decision as a precautionary measure to reassure parents," said Merida Delcy, an adviser to the education ministry, noting that they would not reopen until Wednesday at the earliest.
