The training focused on epidemiological surveillance methods, the case definition of epidemic prone diseases, the management of epidemic prone diseases, and formative supervision.

Young women are fast becoming the new face of the HIV AIDS epidemic.

There were 21 epidemics of infectious diseases registered, with 52,050 cases registered in 1999, 39 epidemics with 42,614 registered cases in 2000, and 31 epidemics with 36,572 registered cases in 2001 (these figures include the influenza cases).

She expressed concern in particular that, increasingly, HIV AIDS was an epidemic of women and the poor.

Because of the German measles epidemic in 1993, German measles was the first condition for which abortion was medically indicated.

Deeply concerned at the HIV AIDS pandemic, and at its disproportionate effect on women and girls,

The Pandemic That Wasn t

Stigmatization is so prevalent it has been referred to as the inevitable third epidemic , occurring after the silent epidemic of HIV infection and the AIDS epidemic.

The spectre of avian flu threatens parts of Asia and Europe and the disease could become a global pandemic.

The HIV AIDS pandemic poses serious social and economic challenges to Africa.

Despite success in rolling back HIV AIDS, some significant issues remain, including an expansion of the epidemic from high risk groups to the general population and the existence of an estimated 290,000 children who have been orphaned as a result of the epidemic.

All agree that the HIV and AIDS pandemic has emerged as a major threat to development, reversing, as it does, all the gains that have been made so far.

Steps taken to achieve the prevention, treatment and control of epidemic, endemic and occupational diseases

The HIV AIDS pandemic has inflicted the single greatest reversal in human development.

A Primer for Pandemics

Malaria and dengue are diseases that are difficult to control, and the dimensions of the HIV AIDS epidemic are expanding daily.

The HIV pandemic continues to escalate.

Noting with concern the HIV AIDS pandemic, which has reached crisis proportions in the region, and the high prevalence of communicable diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis, which are having far reaching social and economic consequences,

The HIV AIDS pandemic has had a dramatic impact on household structures and composition in rural areas.

An increasing number of children were being orphaned by the HIV AIDS pandemic, malaria and tuberculosis, which further increased the vulnerability of the population.

The HIV AIDS pandemic continues to pose grave challenges to our development efforts.

The HIV AIDS pandemic has had other wide ranging effects on households in rural areas.

(i) Treatment of epidemic, endemic, occupational and other diseases

Multiple vaccination campaigns have successfully averted major epidemics.

Deeply concerned that the global HIV AIDS pandemic disproportionately impacts women and girls, and that the majority of new HIV infections occur among young people,

(e) Epidemics control

In 2003, the pandemic claimed 3 million lives and left another five million people infected. (Human Development Report 2005, p. 1)

Estimated prevalence of HIV AIDS in least developed countries in 2003 was 3.2 per cent, but in most African least developed countries it was above that level.

Noting with profound concern that 39.4 million people worldwide are living with HIV AIDS, and that the HIV AIDS pandemic claimed 3.1 million lives in 2004 and to date has orphaned 15 million children,

Noting with profound concern that 42 million people worldwide are living with HIV AIDS, that the HIV AIDS pandemic claimed 3.1 million lives in 2002 and to date has orphaned 14 million children,

At the start of the pandemic, 20 cases of AIDS were recorded in men for each case in women, but today, 4 cases in men are recorded for each case in women.

Considering that injecting drug use is the driving force behind the HIV AIDS epidemic in that region, provision of wide scale coverage of injecting drug users with effective HIV prevention services is of the utmost importance.

It remains of very serious concern, however, that HIV AIDS has now exceeded the benchmark of a generalized epidemic, with a doubling of the prevalence rate among the adult population over the past two years.

Many are dying because of all those kind of pandemics, HIV, malaria, poverty, not going to school.

The Rise of Drug Resistant Tuberculosis

Let me say that the European Community welcomes and strongly supports the initiative of President Bush concerning the looming danger of avian flu's becoming a pandemic.

We are focusing attention on pandemics in particular, as they are affecting those countries so severely, and we recently increased to 5 million our contribution to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

However, the General Assembly may be interested to know that Malawi is one of the few success stories in managing the HIV AIDS pandemic.

NEW YORK The World Health Organization has now officially declared the H1N1 flu virus to be a global pandemic. Governments, international organizations, and people around the world are rightly focused on fighting it.

(c) Prevalence study on (onchocercose) endemics

And this is something we commonly do to look for respiratory viruses like influenza.

Recognizing that progress has been made in containing the HIV AIDS epidemic in a small but growing number of countries, but remaining deeply concerned by the overall expansion and feminization of the epidemic,

Recognizing that progress has been made in containing the HIV AIDS epidemic in a small but growing number of countries, but remaining deeply concerned by the overall expansion and feminization of the epidemic,

Tuberculosis was reported to be widespread inside the prison.

Italian Penal Code (article 438) sanctions with life imprisonment any action aimed at spreading pathogenic germs able to cause an epidemic (the related means of delivery are irrelevant).
