Why are they called 'eggplants'?

Because they used to look like this.

Screwworms—the flesh-eating parasites that are threatening cattle and wildlife, and could even infect the unlucky human—are back in the U.S.

Sarah Zhang reports on the struggles that ranchers and government officials are facing in their efforts to curb the spread of screwworms—and the desperate need for a technological breakthrough. “Now that screwworms are here, they’re really not going away anytime soon,” Zhang writes.

A cancer vaccine used on the NHS eradicated tumours in “unprecedented” trial results.

Researchers found the jab, which was used on 102 patients with head and neck cancers, shrank the tumours in more than a third of patients and eradicated them in 15 patients.

CDC has temporarily restricted entry for certain travelers who were recently in the DRC, Uganda, or South Sudan.
There are currently no suspected, probable, or confirmed Ebola cases in the United States, and the risk to the American public remains low. U.S. citizens, nationals, and lawful permanent residents may still enter the country, but will undergo enhanced screening.
Travelers should monitor for Ebola symptoms for 21 days after leaving affected countries. Anyone who develops symptoms should avoid travel and contact public health authorities immediately. These measures are part of a layered public health strategy to help detect illness early and reduce the risk of disease spread.

The #DRC has declared a new #Ebola outbreak in Ituri Province, with 13 cases so far confirmed to be caused by the Bundibugyo species. A total of 67 community deaths suspected to be due to Ebola Bundibugyo have been reported.

#Uganda has also reported one Ebola Bundibugyo confirmed death today that is linked to Ituri, DRC.

WHO experts are in Ituri, working side-by-side with DRC health authorities, reinforcing response measures to control the outbreak.
