Turkey: 36 deaths confirmed, 6 more deaths
ANKARA, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) -- Turkey recorded six more deaths from A/H1N1 flu, bringing the death toll in the country's pandemic to 36, Turkish media reported Wednesday.
The most recent victims included an infant, the semi-official Anatolia news agency quoted a Ministry of Health statement as saying. The report didn't give further details.
Turkey has witnessed a fast rise of A/H1N1 flu deaths during the past few weeks.
Turkey registered the first A/H1N1 flu case on May 15. The first death case was a 28-year-old male hospital janitor in Ankara, who died on Oct. 24.
Authorities began last week to vaccinate vulnerable groups against the flu, starting from health workers and Muslim pilgrims preparing to travel to Mecca for the annual hajj.

Turkey swine flu toll rises to 40
(AFP)
11 November 2009 ANKARA - Ten more people have died from swine flu in Turkey, taking the toll from the disease to 40, the health ministry said Wednesday.
An initial statement from the ministry said six people, among them two nine-year-old children and a baby less than a year of age, had lost their lives while being treated for the A(H1N1) virus.
A second statement a few hours later said the disease had claimed four more lives, including a one-year-old, pushing the national toll to 40.
Deaths from swine flu have risen rapidly in Turkey in recent days after the first fatality on October 24.
The statement added that 145 people were under treatment for swine flu across the country and that 33 of them remained in intensive care.
Nine patients were kept on respirators, it said.
On November 2, hospitals began vaccinating medical workers and people planning to travel to Mecca for the hajj pilgrimage ? the first move in a campaign to vaccinate 28 million of the country?s population of 71 million.
The ministry said it would begin on Monday next week to vaccinate children less than five years of age and those with chronic diseases that put them at risk of catching swine flu.
The vaccination campaign coincides with widespread public concern on the safety, efficiency and possible side effects of the injection, despite appeals by Health Minister Recep Akdag for calm.

Outbreak of Hemorrhagic Fever in Iranian meat industry 02 Nov 2009
Over two hundred Iranian meat industry workers have been reported as having Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF).

Er zijn momenteel geen gerelateerde items beschikbaar.
According to veterinarian Dr Hamid Ebrahimzadeh, the CCHF virus, and nairoviruses in general, are sensitive to pH changes. “Consequently, when rigor mortis ensues (pH about 5.8), the carcasses of cattle in particular will be free of virus infectivity. Thus, the lapse of time between slaughter and consumption ensures that the meat will be free of infectivity and is an important factor in risk management."
A study by Dr Sadegh Chinikar from the Pasteur Institute of Iran, found that only 16/233 cases of CCHF in Iran were in slaughterhouse workers, compared with 38 in butchers, raising the question as to why butchers were at higher risk when presumably they would be receiving meat from the slaughterhouse with low pH, which would therefore be non-infectious.
When asked about this by the International Society for Infectious Diseases, Chinikar stated, “If butchers used only correctly slaughtered commercial livestock, they would be at lesser risk of CCHF infection than slaughterhouse workers. But when we check their history in the rural areas, some butchers sacrifice livestock themselves in addition to using commercially slaughtered livestock; this issue should not be forgotten, he said. “Those butchers would certainly increase their CCHF infection risk this way. The virus can persist in livestock liver for about 40 days because the pH in the liver does not drop at the same rate as in muscle, and some people eat uncooked liver,” Chinikar added.
