[1,2] (Primary references available on request) Indonesia was the source for eight of 47 travel-associated cases reported during 1973 to 2011. Travelers from Germany were involved in four episodes during this period. [3.] Reports of infection following exposure periods of only 10 to 14 days are disturbing, since pre-travel vaccination is often not employed for short-term trips. Time and Place: Japanese encephalitis was first reported in Indonesia in 1960, and the virus was first recovered from mosquitoes in this country in 1974. – 116,114,000 persons (52% of the population) live in areas of risk. – The area of risk consists of Bali, Irian Barat, Java, Kalimantan...

I am very confident she'll take care of this - but what I really liked is the fact that I can reach out and talk to a human being who will take ownership of the problem and solve it for me.It's such a pleasure to receive good customer service - it's become so rare these days !

That’s why we’d like to adopt a new marriage custom from Indonesia. Well, not a custom exactly – more like a law. The “Couples Caring for the Environment” program requires newlyweds in the West Java province to plant and care for five trees. The groom typically gives the trees to the bride as a dowry. Indonesia’s green spaces have been destroyed to make room for agriculture, and this program is an effort to restore that greenery. We’d like to add this to U.S. wedding customs — should the government (or wedding planners) create eco-conscious programs like this one from I...

Only later did I hear the news of the 7.9 Richter earthquake in Sumatra. We’re pretty lucky as we have escaped the effects of this natural disaster but not so for some Malaysians including medical students in Padang who thankfully are safe.

Foreign drugmakers can leave Indonesia if they do not comply with new rules requiring them to have local production facilities, according to Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari. The rules, which were introduced earlier this month, are designed to encourage foreign companies to transfer technologies to Indonesia and boost investment to create jobs. “If they want to get licences (to sell their products) they have to invest here also, not just take advantage of the Indonesian market,” Supari told Dow Jones. “They can’t just operate like a retailer here, with an office size that’s three metres by three and make billions of rupiah. That is not fair.” The decree, which has drawn protests from the US Chamber of Commerce,...

Do you know if it’s not? Most protein powders, protein bars and protein drinks are made with whey protein, which is made from milk. Is your government checking and letting you know if the whey protein products that you’re eating or drinking safe to consume? Especially since the whole Chinese baby milk scandal was because the biggest dairy companies in China where watering down there milk to make more money and using melamine to hide that since adding melamine increases the protein content in such poisoned milk products so the milk doesn’t look like it’s watered down.

My daughter and I evacuated our house and went to stay at my in-laws’ house on the west side of town. My husband had been in Indonesia during the ordeal but came home last Thursday- which made me feel better. We were lucky that there was a cold front that moved through the area and I know everyone in Houston was grateful for that. Our house has suffered some damage from water (only in one room) and I hope that our wood floor is not ruined. The wood in the other rooms may be at risk too without the power because of the humidity. At least it is not as hot and humid as it could be. Our fence is gone, and our trees are down, but that’s about all. We are lucky compared to a lot of people. On top of everything that i...

Image: Mark V. Erdmann, July 1998 (Smithsonian Institute [larger]). This past Saturday, a rare living fossil, the coelacanth, Latimeria chalumnae, was captured by fishhermen off the shores of Zanzibar. Zanzibar is an island archipelago comprised of numerous small islands and two large ones located 25-50 km off the coast of East Africa in the Indian Ocean. The coelacanth (pronounced SEE-la-kanth) is an ancient fish once thought to have become extinct at the time of the dinosaurs. You might also recall that another species of coelacanth was captured not too long ago,...

(Click here for data) Today the WHO announced there have been 15 previously unaccounted for cases of bird flu, including 13 deaths, in Indonesia. 41% of deaths from bird flu have occurred in Indonesia. The age group most at risk worldwide is 10-19, particularly females. The recent controversy over Indonesia’s decision not to share samples with WHO have been resolved and WHO is working again with the Ministry of Health.

Indonesia refuses to share bird flu samples with WHO without legally binding agreement - International Herald Tribune While I understand that Indonesia does not want to have pay high prices for a vaccine that may be developed in the future, this seems short sighted. Indonesia is not the only source of the samples and if a major pharma companies wants to get samples, I’m am sure there are other options and other countries. The only reason Indonesia is important is because they seem to have more cases and those cases need to be tracked to determine how the virus may be ...
