First Human West Nile Case Of The Season
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment reported this year's
first case of the mosquito-born illness.
Atlanta, GA -- The first human West Nile virus illness of 2005 has
been reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
West Nile Virus is transmitted seasonally by infected mosquitoes.
Since 1999, when the disease was first identified in the United
States, West Nile Virus has caused nearly 17,000 cases of human
illness, including more than 650 deaths.
While Kansas is the first state to report human WNV activity,
infection in birds, mosquitoes or horses has already been reported
from fourteen states this year.
"This season's first human case of West Nile virus reminds us of the
importance of taking precautions to avoid becoming ill," said Dr. Lyle
Petersen, director of CDC's Division of Vector- borne Infectious
Diseases.
"It's impossible to predict what this year's season will hold. So
everyone who spends time outdoors should take steps to protect
themselves from mosquito bites and West Nile virus."
Simple measures can help prevent infection: avoid mosquito bites by
using insect repellents and protect your home by emptying standing
water and installing screens. People can also help their communities
by supporting community-based mosquito control programs.
In many places, people can report dead birds to local health
authorities to help with disease monitoring activities.
CDC recently expanded the list of active ingredients it recommends for
protection against mosquito bites.
In addition to DEET and permethrin, repellents containing picaridin
and oil of lemon eucalyptus have recently been found to provide
reliable and long-lasting protection from mosquito bites.
As of 2005, West Nile Virus was reported in all states except Hawaii
and Alaska. (Washington state has reported only animal activity one
year, in 2002.)
The "hot spots," that is, places with high numbers of human cases, of
West Nile Virus activity have changed each year, but virus activity
has generally continued locally each year after cases are reported.
In 2004, 2,535 total human cases and 98 deaths were reported to CDC,
with the largest number of cases in Western states. Cases reported to
CDC were highest in 2003, with 9,862 human illnesses and 264 deaths.
Mosquitoes become infected with West Nile Virus when they feed on
infected birds, and the virus may be transmitted when an infected
mosquito bites a human.
West Nile Virus transmission through transplanted organs, transfused
blood, from mother to fetus and likely transmission to infants through
breast milk were also identified in 2002.
Routine screening of blood donations for WNV since 2003 has greatly
reduced the risk of WNV infection through transfused blood.
About two of every 10 people infected by a mosquito develop milder WNV
symptoms such as fever, aches, nausea and vomiting.
About one in 150 people infected with WNV develop more serious
symptoms and West Nile virus can be fatal.
Although people of any age can become severely ill, the risk is
highest for persons age 50 and over or recipients of solid organ
transplants.

Hey, is he allowed to get mail? We could send him Tony's posts about him
coming back into power. Having hope, even if false, helps! ;) LOL!
Also might get him past his "Dorito Addiction".

Dunno, might kill him... and Tony wouldn't want that.

No doubt, over 650 Americans dead and 17,000 sickened with many of
those paralzyed or parially paralyzed.

Pathetic for a supposed bioweapon.
Up to 50,000 die from influenza each year... damn, why didn't Saddam
think of that, eh? Or maybe he did?
Still, keep them coming; your stupidity is highly entertaining.

By whose standard? If a bomb went off in London today and killed 650
people and injured 17,000 some very seriously and permenently, it
would be considered a horrific attack.
And guess what, this disease is not thru killing and maiming, but
that's just a joke to you, right?

No, the joke is that you believe WNV to be a Saddam originated
bioweapon. Your idiocy is boundless and probably untreatable.

No, your's is.
Fact: UN Wespons Inspectors found in Iraq samples of WNV & incubators
for both the Virus and Mosquitos. Now for what purpose do you supposed
this was all intended?
I will also point out once again that in April of 1999 (months before
the first case of WNV in the USA or Western Hemisphere) New Yorker
Magazine ran an article about and Iraqi defector who predicted that
Saddam would soon unleash WNV as a bioweapon.
Go look it up, you've got nothing better to do.
