WHO Regional Offices and the Areas they serve 60 - IV - INTRODUCTION TO the great majority of countries in all regions, 1961 meant further progress against the main communicable diseases which still constitute the greatest obstacle to better health for their citizens.In many countries, although unfortunately not inall, the advances made are part of a more general endeavour to strengthen the basic health services and can therefore be considered as definite contributions to the long -range task of raising health standards.Whether and to what extent this goal will be attained depends on the results achieved in the next few years in the three fundamental branches of public health: medical education and training, nutrition and environmental health.Finally, as is evident in all parts of the present report, the intensification of medical research holds out the best hope for the future of the world's health. As in previous years, the review of work on communicable diseases must begin with a brief account of the progress made in 1961 in the world -wide malaria eradication campaign which for several years is to remain the principal target of WHO's activities. Looking at the programme from a global point of view, itis gratifying to note that during the year seven more countries, with popula- tions amounting to about 150 million, have initiated malaria eradication programmes. Within the regions affected, there is no doubt that the machinery of co- ordination has greatly facilitated the effective organization of eradication efforts.For example, the Antimalaria Co- ordination Board for South - East Africa, which met in Southern Rhodesia, and the Antimalaria Co- ordination Meeting for West Africa, in Togo, proved extremely useful for the planning of the work for both those areas of Africa. In the Eastern Mediterranean co- ordination was carried out through border meetings between the countries concerned. The countries still lacking adequate health services -and many of the newly independent nations are in this situation -need assistance in gradually building up the necessary operational services and facilities for eradication campaigns. For these countries WHO's main objective has been to help in organizing pre -eradication programmes. For another group of countries in which eradication has made great progress, the problem is how best to organize surveillance operations. Here WHO's main effort has been to perfect the methods to be followed in the final phases of the campaign. Research into many aspects of malariology has been encouraged and supported by the Organization. For example, to combat the steadily growing resistance of vector species, investigations have been pursued into the use of newer types of insecticides, mainly of the organophosphorus group, which may have to replace the chlorinated hydrocarbons in areas where the vector has become resistant to all the latter.They, however, are still the main weapons in eradication and therefore ways of employing them more economically are being studied.In chemotherapy, field trials were conducted in order to find the most efficient and practical methods of administering medicated salt. With the many developments taking place, both governments and the Organization have found it increasingly difficult to recruit specialists in malaria. It is therefore natural that considerable emphasis has been laid during the year on the intensification of training programmes. Because of the increased participation of many countries, progress was made in the world -wide effort sponsored by WHO to eliminate smallpox as a public health hazard. With continued and inten- sified effort in the years to come we can hope that the dangerous endemic foci of the disease in certain parts of Asia, Africa and Latin America will eventually disappear. Though mass campaigns against yaws, endemic syphilis, leprosy and trachoma were extended during the year, there were some setbacks in other fields. Indeed, outbreaks of cholera and paracholera, yellow fever and trypanosomiasis occurred again in countries where they had not apparently been present for some time. There were also unfortunately indications of a serious recrudescence in certain areas in the incidence of syphilis and gonorrhoea.These developments re- emphasize the fact that, if communicable diseases are to be successfully controlled, we must not relax our efforts, particularly in strengthening epidemiological services and training the personnel necessary for their continuing day - to -day control. In tuberculosis the purpose of a number of pilot area projects, initiated and partly carried out during the year, was to help to formulate the epidemiological and socio- economic objectives of national tuberculosis programmes

    Wl^liii Number 4 December 1966 Volume 5 THE CASES OF THE "DIRTY DOZEN" - Harold Wasserman - Case 5: The Case of the "Star-Cross'd Lovers" For Case 5 we are taking a few poetic liberties with our title. If you recall your high school Shakespeare, perhaps you will recall the Prologue to "Romeo and Juliet", in which Shakespeare refers to "A pair of star-cross'd lovers" and ends it with "The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend". Case 5 will not bring up the mysteries of love potions; however, it most definitely will bring up a few mysteries surrounding a pair of stars and crosses on a famous set of sport stamps. I would imagine that almost all collectors of sports stamps are acquainted with the two sets of stamps which Uruguay issued in 1924 and 1928 to celebrate the soccer victories in the Olympic Games of those years. I wonder how many know that the second set (1928) was also issued for official use. Unfortunately, "Scott" has only this note at the end of Its listing of Uruguay officials: "Since 1928, instead of official stamps, Uruguay has used envelopes with "S.O." printed on them and stamps of many issued which are punched with various designs such as star or crescent". It is also unfortunate that many collectors probably do not possess a "Landmans" which il­ lustrates these punches. The first type is a five-pointed star. The second is commonly referred to as a Maltese cross, although technically it probably resembles a pattee cross more than a Maltese cross.

Preface The ASWA VI meeting was held at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, from 30th August-1st September 2002, timetabled to follow on the heels of the ICAZ meeting in Durham, UK. Over 55 participants attended the meeting, travelling from 13 countries, bringing the latest re- search results from our field. As usual, it was a pleasure to see so many doctoral students presenting their research – a sign for a very healthy future for zooarchaeology in south west Asia. It is still un- fortunate, however, that colleagues from some Middle Eastern countries were unable to attend due to financial and political constraints. Presentations were organized into the following six themes, which highlight the scope of the ASWA membership: Animals in Palaeolithic and Epipalaeolithic Levant; Neolithic Patterns of Animal Use; Animals in Neolithic Anatolia; Animals in the Chalcolithic and Bronze Ages; Iron Age, Nabatean and Roman Patterns of Animal Use; Animals in Ancient Egypt.

  • West Nile Virus in the Vertebrate World Brief Review
    Arch Virol (2005) 150: 637–657 DOI 10.1007/s00705-004-0463-z West Nile virus in the vertebrate world Brief Review K. M. van der Meulen, M. B. Pensaert, and H. J. Nauwynck Laboratory of Virology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ghent University, Merelbeke, Belgium Received September 3, 2004; accepted November 10, 2004 Published online January 19, 2005 c Springer-Verlag 2005 Summary. West Nile virus (WNV), an arthropod-borne virus belonging to the family Flaviviridae, had been recognized in Africa, Asia and the south of Europe for many decades. Only recently, it has been associated with an increasing number of outbreaks of encephalitis in humans and equines as well as an increasing number of infections in vertebrates of a wide variety of species. In this article, the data available on the incidence of WNV in vertebrates are reviewed. Moreover, the role of vertebrates in the transmission of WNV, the control of WNV infections in veterinary medicine as well as future perspectives are discussed. A wide variety of vertebrates, including more than 150 bird species and at least 30 other vertebrate species, are susceptible to WNV infection. The outcome of infection depends on the species, the age of the animal, its immune status and the pathogenicity of the WNV isolate. WNV infection of various birds, especially passeriforms, but also of young chickens and domestic geese, results in high-titred viremia that allows arthropod-borne transmission. For other vertebrate species, only lemurs, lake frogs and hamsters develop suitable viremia levels to support arthropod-borne transmission. The role of vertebrates in direct, non-arthropod-borne transmission, such as via virus-contaminated organs, tissues or excretions is less well charac- terized.
