一 | DES MOINES, Iowa -- Two commercial turkey farms in Iowa have been hit by the reemerging highly pathogenic bird flu, causing about 100,000 birds to be killed to prevent the disease from spreading.The Iowa Department of Agriculture reported the infected commercial poultry flocks within weeks of a turkey farm in South Dakota and one in Utah reporting the first outbreaks in the U.S. since April, raising concerns that more would follow. The U.S. Department of Agriculture shows 12 commercial flocks in South Dakota, Utah and Minnesota have been affected in October, totaling more than 500,000 birds.Bird flu last year cost U.S. poultry producers nearly 59 million birds across 47 states, including egg-laying chickens and turkeys and chickens raised for meat, making it the country’s deadliest outbreak ever, according to USDA figures. The outbreak caused spikes in egg and turkey prices for consumers and cost the government over $660 million.Iowa was the hardest-hit state last year, with nearly 16 million birds lost, but there hadn’t been a case reported in the state since March.Iowa's department reported Friday that one commercial turkey facility of about 50,000 birds in Buena Vista County was affected. Another facility of about 47,500 turkeys in neighboring Pocahontas County was confirmed Monday.In Guthrie County, about 50 backyard birds were also infected, the department said.Before last week, the only reports of bird flu in recent months in the U.S. in recent months were sporadic appearances in backyard flocks or among wild birds such as ducks, geese and eagles. While wild birds often show no symptoms of avian influenza, infections in them are a concern to the poultry industry as migration season gets underway. Migrating birds can spread the disease to vulnerable commercial flocks.Bird flu infections are relatively rare in humans and aren’t considered a food safety risk. But as it hits other species, including some mammals, scientists fear the virus could evolve to spread more easily among people. Cambodia this week reported its third human death from bird flu this year.。

二 | Colombo, Oct 14 (UNI) The number of dengue patients has increased by 300 per cent compared to 2021 in Sri Lanka, a newspaper reported on Friday.
The President of the College of Medical Laboratory Science (CMLS), Ravi Kumudesh, told The Island that about 60,000 cases have been reported so far this year across the country.
“During the same time in 2021, fewer than 20,000 cases were reported. Most cases have been reported from the Western Province. Higher numbers are also reported from Kandy, Galle, Jaffna, Kegalle, Puttalam, and Kurunegala districts,” he said.
Kumudesh said 36 health divisions have been declared vulnerable areas. However, most government hospitals did not have testing kits to detect dengue, he said.
“The Ministry of Health has not paid a number of companies for testing kits purchased in the past. Now, these companies do not sell test kits to the Ministry of Health.
"In the meantime, Rs. 125 million earmarked for purchasing medicine in the 2022 third quarter has not been spent. Another $60 million are left in the Indian credit line to buy medicines. We can easily buy testing kits and reagents with this money,” he said.
