A molecular epidemiological study on common diarrheal viruses was conducted in a children's hospital in Ho Chi Minh City between December 2005 and November 2006. Fecal samples were collected from 502 pediatric patients with acute gastroenteritis, and were screened for eight types of viral agents. Human astroviruses (HAstVs), which were detected with a prevalence of 13.9%, became the second most frequent viral enteropathogen. Although detected in both dry and rainy seasons, the majority (92.8%) of HAstVs in this study were found in the rainy season. Patients aged between 6 and 23 months were found to be more infected from astrovirus when compared to other age groups. The ratio between boys and girls was 2.3:1. The overall mean severity score of astrovirus positive patients was 11.8 +/- 2.45. The mean severity score of the inpatients was statistically higher than that of the outpatients; however, there was no difference in severity scores between the age groups observed. The clinical manifestations of astrovirus infections among the Vietnamese children were diarrhea, vomiting, fever, coughing, and coryza. All of the detected astroviruses belonged to genotype 1. The phylogenetic tree clearly indicated that HAstVs-1 worldwide could be classified into four different lineages, in which, Vietnamese astroviruses and other recently isolated strains from other countries clustered into the distinct lineage, 1d. These results provide important information on astrovirus infections among Vietnamese children.

Erysipelas diagnosed in turkeys, sheep and pigs. Parasitic gastroenteritis reported in cattle on several farms. Unusual presentation of Actinobacillus suis causing spinal abscesses in pigs on a breeder-finisher unit. First APHA diagnosis of oedema disease in pigs in East Anglia for many years. Infectious coryza confirmed in a hobby breeding flock. These are among matters discussed in the Animal and Plant Health Agency's (APHA's) disease surveillance report for November 2014.

Measles is an infectious disease in humans caused by the measles virus (MeV). Before the introduction of an effective measles vaccine, virtually everyone experienced measles during childhood. Symptoms of measles include fever and maculopapular skin rash accompanied by cough, coryza and/or conjunctivitis. MeV causes immunosuppression, and severe sequelae of measles include pneumonia, gastroenteritis, blindness, measles inclusion body encephalitis and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. Case confirmation depends on clinical presentation and results of laboratory tests, including the detection of anti-MeV IgM antibodies and/or viral RNA. All current measles vaccines contain a live attenuated strain of MeV, and great progress has been made to increase global vaccination coverage to drive down the incidence of measles. However, endemic transmission continues in many parts of the world. Measles remains a considerable cause of childhood mortality worldwide, with estimates that >100,000 fatal cases occur each year. Case fatality ratio estimates vary from <0.01% in industrialized countries to >5% in developing countries. All six WHO regions have set goals to eliminate endemic transmission of MeV by achieving and maintaining high levels of vaccination coverage accompanied by a sensitive surveillance system. Because of the availability of a highly effective and relatively inexpensive vaccine, the monotypic nature of the virus and the lack of an animal reservoir, measles is considered a candidate for eradication.
