Alert in Haiti by mutation of strain of cholera
By Trenton Daniel
The epidemic that emerged less than 2 years and has killed thousands of people would be trained in a new phase . The rainy season could contribute to its spread
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States (CDC, for its acronym in English) reported in a study that the bacterium is changing while the survivors acquire at least some immunity against the original variant, which apparently came of Nepal .
The experts from the CDC also said the change was expected, as has occurred in outbreaks of cholera in other parts of the world. "This indicates that the present epidemic in Haiti could enter its next phase, as we see those changes where cholera is endemic," said Edward T. doctor Ryan, an infectious disease specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital, who was not involved in the study.
The transformation also means that Haitians would be more prone to contracting the disease a second time because they do not have complete immunity against the new version if you do not take precautions, like washing hands and drinking water .
In the study, a field study released in the publication Morbidity and Mortality Weekly CEC-, co-author Joan M. Brunkard and Deborah F. Talkington said that investigators of the National Laboratory of Public Health found that two variants collected 12 and 13 March in the region of Artibonite differ from the strain of Ogawa found in Haiti when the disease was discovered in October 2010.
The CDC, according to new research, confirmed later that these two variants is type Inaba , the other relevant version of the strain of cholera.
Cholera is an acute illness that manifests as an intestinal infection . There is little or no difference in severity or duration of the harm caused by the two versions. Health authorities are attentive to the upcoming rainy season , which contributes to its spread.
