Marburg Virus Spread Raising International Concerns outbreak of Marburg virus in the DRC during the period 1998 - 2000 in the northeastern part of the country, approximately 2000 kilometers from where Uige borders with the DRC in the southwest of the country. The virus has taken a toll on the population in Uige, the epicenter of the infections. Concerns about Marburg transmission via air travel were heightened by the death of a passenger returning to Portugal from Angola. www.recombinomics.com /News/03290504/Marburg_International.html   (438 words)

CBC News: Canada adds help to contain Marburg virus outbreak In South Africa, authorities tested an airline passenger for Marburg on Thursday, although it appears unlikely he is carrying the virus. WINNIPEG - Canada is sending a second medical team to Angola to assist in containing the world's largest outbreak of deadly Marburg virus. Heinz Feldmann of the Public Health Agency of Canada's laboratory in Winnipeg said one of the main challenges on the ground was that people in Angola were reluctant to trust medical experts. www.cbc.ca /story/science/national/2005/04/21/Marburg-Canadians050421.html   (402 words)

Peter Duesberg on AIDS - Duesberg.com - HIV / AIDS research website for Peter H. Duesberg. See The AIDS Dilemma : Drug diseases blamed on a passenger virus.     On the basis of his experience with retroviruses, Duesberg has challenged the virus-AIDS hypothesis in the pages of such journals as Cancer Research, Lancet, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Science, Nature, Journal of AIDS, AIDS Forschung, Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapeutics, New England Journal of Medicine and Research in Immunology. He has instead proposed the hypothesis that the various American/European AIDS diseases are brought on by the long-term consumption of recreational drugs and/or AZT itself, which is prescribed to prevent or treat AIDS. www.duesberg.com   (419 words)

[Frontiers in Bioscience 4, d153-164, February 15, 1999] However, when the same virus is detected in normal tissues as in tumors, it must be considered that the virus is present in the neoplastic cells merely as a harmless "passenger". With most viruses, the mere detection of virus presence does not indicate the development of clinical disease; similarly, the presence of an oncovirus in tumor tissue cannot be assumed to be proof of causality. Sporadic reports of rescue of infectious virus from tumors were explained by one of several viral excision mechanisms that might have accounted for the release of the viral DNA from its site of integration (76); the possibility of long-term persistence of episomal copies of viral DNA was not considered. www.bioscience.org /1999/v4/d/lednicky/fulltext.htm   (419 words)

HIV & AIDS - Responding to "Duesberg and the New View of HIV" There is only one consistent hypothesis to reconcile the bewildering ranges of HIV titers in Ho's and Shaw's patients, that the role of the virus in AIDS-HIV is a passenger virus, rather than the cause of AIDS. However, the hypothesis that HIV is a passenger virus provides a consistent explanation for the unpredictable time intervals between HIV infection and AIDS. Since the HIV-AIDS hypothesis makes many assumptions that are paradoxical, if not bewildering, for pre-HIV virologists, and since the new studies do not clearly define the HIV hypothesis, we shall first state the hypothesis and then explain why, in light of these "new" studies, it remains paradoxical. www.virusmyth.net /aids/data/pdwei.htm   (3300 words)

Regal Princess Cruise Ship Illness. Is your cruise ship sick? from Cruise Diva Linda Coffman's Cruise Planner The pattern of the spread of illness suggests that the virus was most likely introduced onto the ship in Copenhagen by a passenger with the illness. Norovirus is an extremely common and highly-contagious virus which causes gastroenteritis (an inflammation of the stomach and the intestines). The CDC estimates that Norovirus is the causative agent of some 23 million cases of gastroenteritis in the USA annually, however the vast majority of all outbreaks occur on land. www.cruisediva.com /illness2.htm   (1664 words)

The SMON Fiasco--Bryan Ellison & Peter Duesberg The agent fell under the classification of "Coxsackie" viruses, a type of passenger virus known to infect the digestive tract and originally discovered as a by-product of polio research. The story that SMON research had ignored the evidence of a toxic cause for fifteen years and had sacrificed thousands of human lives to a flawed virus hypothesis is too embarrassing to the virus-hunting establishment to record. It also shed new light on the supposed evidence that SMON was infectious: its tendency to appear in hospital patients, to cluster in families, to afflict medical workers, and to break out more heavily in the summer - all of these reflected the patterns of clioquinol use. www.primitivism.com /smon.htm   (5357 words)

TIME TRAVEL page of ULTIMATE SCIENCE FICTION WEB GUIDE Among the very few redeeming qualities is Bronson Pinchot as a very intense, disturbed airline passenger." The Video Graveyard: "Originally airing in two parts this TV adaptation of Stephen King's novella has nine airline passengers going through a time-rift and being caught fifteen minutes in the past. Gromozeka also discovered that they had left the virus on Earth 26000 years ago, and the virus is about to become loose. Also, Jack Finney's protagonist goes back roughly a century, not the two centuries of 'Berkeley Square.' Of course, both male protagonists fall in love with women in the past (that's what happens in hetero Romances), but Jack Finney does not fall for one of his own ancestresses. www.magicdragon.com /UltimateSF/time.html   (10390 words)

Fraport Passengers, Freight Up In July Air freight at continental Europe's largest passenger and freight hub was up 16 percent in July from the same month a year ago at 146,188 tonnes, Fraport said in a statement. The air travel industry is recovering from the effects of the conflict in Iraq, the SARS virus and struggling economies, which put some people off flying a year ago. Passenger numbers at Frankfurt Airport rose 5.6 percent in July from a year earlier to 4.75 million, boosted by improved tourist traffic, German airport operator Fraport said on Thursday. news.airwise.com /stories/2004/08/1092302386.html   (10390 words)

"Air Curtain" Blocks Unwanted Insect Pests From Airplanes / March 9, 2004 / News from the USDA Agricultural Research Service The curtain is made of air blown away from the passenger doors by fans on either side of the walkway, at an air speed of at least 1 meter per second. Researchers at the ARS Center for Medical, Agricultural and Veterinary Entomology in Gainesville, Fla., developed a method for using high-velocity "air curtains" in passenger walkways to provide a barrier against these problem insects. The countries want to prevent mosquitoes, flies and other insects that may spread diseases, such as malaria and West Nile virus, from crossing their borders. www.ars.usda.gov /is/pr/2004/040309.htm   (10390 words)

Asian Gloom For Europe's Airlines The Association of European Airlines blames the massive toll on Asian routes on the impact of the SARS virus.

HIV & AIDS - Foreign-Protein-Mediated Immunodeficiency in Hemophiliacs With and Without HIV All of the above associations between HIV and AIDS support the hypothesis that HIV is a passenger virus, instead of the cause of AIDS (Duesberg, 1994). This hypothesis postulates that all AIDS is caused by the retrovirus HIV, and thus an infectious epidemic. Four criteria of proof have been applied to distinguish between the virus and the foreign-protein hypothesis of hemophilia-AIDS: (i) correlation, (ii) function (Koch's third postulate), (iii) predictions, (iv) therapy and prevention. www.virusmyth.net /aids/data/pdhemogen.htm   (12674 words)

Molecular biologist contends that AIDS is a result of lifestyle choice... - Stormfront White Nationalist Community According to this hypothesis AIDS is not contagious, not immunogenic, not treatable by vaccines or antiviral drugs, and HIV is just a passenger virus. The effectiveness of the drugs that block the enzyme reverse transcriptase, known to be used in the replication of retroviruses such as HIV is further evidence in favour of the established theory. A subjective repugnance to homosexuality is not an adequate basis for a moral evaluation of it; neither is that repugnance a sound basis for discarding the weight of evidence which seems to demonstrate a causal link between the HIV virus and the AIDS disease. www.stormfront.org /forum/showthread.php?t=114621   (324 words)

News4Jax.com - News 4 Georgia - Rail Traffic Slowed As Computer Virus Strikes CSX As a result, passenger and freight train traffic was halted immediately, including the morning commuter train service in metropolitan Washington, D.C. The Jacksonville-based rail line said the cause was believed to be a worm virus similar to those that have infected the systems of other major companies and agencies in recent days. "When CSX bought out all those other railroads, they put the signaling all together down in Jacksonville, Florida," one D.C. area passenger said. CSX told Channel 4's Adam Landau that its computers were mostly repaired by 7:30 a.m., but it could take 24 hours for the rail system to completely recover. www.news4jax.com /news4georgia/2420054/detail.html   (930 words)

AAS Biographical Memoirs - Frank Macfarlane Burnet 1899-1985 By the end of 1962, however, Burnet felt that investigation of the graft-versus-host reaction on the chorioallantoic membrane had yielded as much as it was likely to in his hands, although a few years later it was to form the basis of experimental work that helped to reestablish the 'passenger leukocyte' concept in tissue transplantation(166). He decided that the future activities of the Institute should be concentrated on animal virology, especially influenza virus, and of those already in the Institute (apart from the Clinical Research Unit), only Gottschalk, a biochemist, continued to work on any other topic. It took some two years after that change before papers on virology ceased to appear, and over the period 1942-59 Burnet's name was attached to some 114 papers on influenza virus. www.asap.unimelb.edu.au /bsparcs/aasmemoirs/burnet.htm   (18287 words)

FRONTLINE/WORLD . Hong Kong - Chasing the Virus . Epidemics Through Time - Non-Flash version PBS During the initial months of the SARS outbreak, newspapers predicted that it was "the next AIDS." More doomsday prophecies followed as the realization set in that a deadly infectious virus can move from one corner of the world to another in less than a day, simply by hitching a ride on an unsuspecting airplane passenger. Yet, even though illnesses can infect populations faster than ever before, the spread of infectious disease always has been linked to an increasing number of people moving around the world. Smallpox followed explorers during the age of exploration, and tuberculosis surfaced in overpopulated city centers during the Industrial Revolution. 149.48.192.134 /frontlineworld/stories/hongkong/epidemicsb.html   (18287 words)

HIV & AIDS - The AIDS dilemma: drug diseases blamed on a passenger virus Nitrite inhalants react with all biological macromolecules, mutating and inactivating DNA and RNA, diazotizing proteins, killing vitamins and oxidizing hemoglobin to inactive methemoglobin (Lauritsen and Wilson, 1986; Haverkos and Dougherty, 1988b; Duesberg, 1992a). All of these men had used nitrite inhalants and other recreational drugs, including amphetamines and cocaine, but they were not tested for HIV The authors concluded that 'a history of heavy or moderate use of nitrite inhalant before study entry was predictive of ultimate progression to AIDS' (Mathur-Wagh et al., 1984). Based on the correlation between the new epidemic of homosexual Kaposi's sarcomas and the almost exclusive use of nitrites by male homosexuals, it was originally proposed in the early 1980s that nitrites were the cause (Durack, 1981; Marmor et al., 1982; Newell et al., 1984; Haverkos et al., 1985; Newell et al., 1985b). www.virusmyth.net /aids/data/pddrdilemma.htm   (20007 words)
