El Niño I ncreases Diarrheal Disease I ncidence by 2 0 0 Percent

The El Niño phenomenon--the warming of the equatorial Pacific ocean that occurs every two to seven years--has been linked to outbreaks of dengue, malaria, and

  • cholera. Now, researchers from the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, A.B.

Prisma, and the Instituto Nacional de Salud in Lima, Peru, have found that the 1997-1998 El Niño season increased hospitalizations for diarrheal disease by 200 percent, according to a study published in the February 5th issue of The Lancet. The results are cause for concern, said the researchers, since diarrhea already causes one billion episodes and three million deaths annually in children under five worldwide.

Phytoplankton Bloom

Environmental conditions favoring growth of vibrio:

  • 1. Low salt
  • 2. High Nutrient Load
  • 3. 20OC
  • 4. Triggers phytoplankton bloom
  • 5. Followed by zooplankton bloom
  • 6. Followed by a cholera outbreak

Vibrio cholerae and its relatives are marine microbes, fully integrated into their respective food webs.

Monsoons

  • 1. lower the salinity of the estuary
  • 2. bring nutrients to the estuary
  • 3. raise the ambient water temperature of the estuary

ProMed: Oct 27th, 2005 From: Luciano Goldani <rsf4805@via-rs.net> Hematophagous (vampire) bats are proliferating because of forest devastation in the state of Maranhao, northeastern Brazil. 20 cases of fatal rabies have been clinically documented. The population in the area is protecting their houses with wire nets to prevent bat bites.
