Scientists just cracked the multiple sclerosis code after decades of searching.

Two specific gut bacteria are triggering the disease, and they've proven it using identical twins and mice.

This changes everything we know about the pathology.

GAUTENG MALARIA CASES AND DEATHS RISE SHARPLY

The Gauteng Department of Health has raised the alarm after recording 768 malaria cases and 17 deaths between January and September 2026.

Key figures:

Malaria cases increased by 38.6% compared with the same period in 2025.

Deaths increased from six in 2025 to 17 in 2026.

15 of the 17 people who died had travelled to countries in the SADC region.

Mozambique accounted for approximately 59% of the reported deaths.

Although Gauteng is not a malaria-endemic province, residents travelling to high-risk areas are being urged to take precautions and visit travel clinics before departure.

Symptoms include fever, chills, headaches, muscle aches, nausea and vomiting.

The department warns anyone developing symptoms during or after travelling to seek immediate medical attention and disclose their travel history.

Authorities are intensifying awareness campaigns ahead of the festive season, particularly at taxi ranks and bus stations.
