The government of Chad is calling for international assistance to fight a cholera outbreak in the country. The World Health Organization says it is concerned that the disease could spread to the Darfur region of western Sudan, which is already struggling with his own humanitarian crisis due to violence.

The strains of cholera bacteria prevalent in China make change and experts warn for
In China’s database of epidemic status, a painting depicted with the three epidemic waves documented in figures the status of cholera epidemic in the past 40 years throughout the country. Each time of fluctuations in the epidemic graph was related to the changes of cholera bacterial typing. The latest data of monitoring showed that the dominating bacterial type of cholera epidemics had another change emerging with a unique epidemic bacterial type. Specialists of the Chinese Center for Disease Control (CDC) warned that the possible aftermath of epidemic situation resulted from the changes of bacterial type of cholera must be dealt with intensive
Academician Gao Shouyi of Chinese CDC pointed out that the Inaba 1d strain emerged
predominantly since last year, had the character of wide distribution of the same strain, and its 16S ribosomal gene probe hybridization belonged to the same strain seen in the majority of the provinces. In a certain location of the Southern provinces, the eltor strain, in addition to the occurrence of Inaba 1d strain, also partially emerged with the 1c, 1b, 1f strains;however, its ribosomal typing was identical with the predominant epidemic Inaba 1d strain, all came from the same clone line. In certain places of the southern west area the Ogawa type that mutated into Inaba type emerged;and the Inaba strain occurred in 2001 was not the continuation of the Inaba strain of 2000;additionally in another location of the south western area an Ogawa 6b unique
From 18-19 April, a working conference of national prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal infectious diseases was held in Beijing jointly sponsored by the Chinese CDC and the consultative committee of diarrhea specialists of Ministry of Health.
