CHIKUNGUNYA (39): MOSQUITO VECTORS 20090911
There have been many reports during the past months of the continuous spread of chikungunya virus (CHIKV). Compared with past experience, this is totally atypical and has recently been largely explained in the publication of 2 papers:
De Lamballerie (2008) Virology Journal, 5. 33 doi: 10.1186/1743-422X-5-33. and
Tsetsarkin et al PLoS Pathog. 2007;12:e201. doi: 10.1371/journal.ppat.0030201, which have not been cited by ProMED moderators
[Genetic adaptation of CHIKV to Aedes albopictus was reported in the ProMED post of 9 Dec 2007 archive no. 20071209.3973, cited below. - Mod.TY] (繼續閱讀).........

Current overall situation-------------------------
Since January 2008, Singapore has been experiencing outbreaks of both imported and local cases of Chikungunya fever. There have been an additional 28 cases (including 16 imported) since the last update. As of 4 Sep 2008, a total of 178 cases have been notified this year. Of these, 86 were imported cases with history of travel to Johor (69 cases) and other states of Malaysia (8 cases), Indonesia (4 cases), Sri Lanka (2 cases), India (2 cases) and the Maldives (one case). The rest were locally acquired infections which probably occurred at 19 separate locations, including 39 cases in Kranji Way, 13 from Little India, 14 from Sungei Kadut, 5 from Pasir Panjang Wholesale market, and 6 from Lim Chu Kang Lane 2.

登革熱判定 南部5縣市不接受 20080909
http://udn.com/NEWS/DOMESTIC/DOM6/4508840.shtml
衛生署疾病管制局修正「登革熱檢驗結果判定基準」，南部5縣市衛生局都表態不能接受，建議回復原有的判定標準；衛生署本月11日南下與5縣市衛生局就此溝通、研議。
衛生署疾管局上月22日對登革熱判定標準改採「一採判定」的寬鬆標準，並新增登革熱快速檢驗（簡稱NS1），即只要第一次採檢IgG（抗體）、IgM（抗原）、NS1等檢驗項目，其中一項呈現陽性，即判定為確定病例。
