Monitor The Strategic Trends
Introduction:
The threat of germ warfare has brought to the forefront long-forgotten diseases like plague, anthrax, and smallpox. Recent television news programs have highlighted secret projects in the former Soviet Union to develop antibiotic-resistant strains of genetically engineered viruses and bacteria.

The Swine Flu Confirmed in 10,000 Americans - Cases of the new H1N1 flu virus have now been found in all 50 U.S. states and tests have confirmed the virus in more than 10,000 people across the nation, (though the actual number of cases may be 20 times that). Seventeen deaths in the United States have been definitively linked to the swine flu virus, the CDC said
AIDS Rate in Washington DC Compares to Uganda - According to a new CDC report, an entire 3 percent of the Washington DC population is HIV positive, compared to the national average of .4 percent. The 40-49 age group is hardest hit in the US capital; 1 out of 14 has the virus. The number could be higher, since many people haven't been tested. According to the report, men having sex with men is the highest cause of transmission, followed by heterosexual sex and intravenous drug use.
Researchers Make Stem Cells From Adult Skin - Scientists have found a way to make an almost limitless supply of stem cells that could safely be used in patients while avoiding the ethical dilemma of destroying embryos. Because the cells can be made from a patient's own skin, they carry the same DNA and so could be used without a risk of being rejected by the immune system. Unlike previous efforts to use adult cells, the scientists at the universities of Edinburgh and Toronto have found a way to achieve the feat without using viruses.
Zimbabwe Cholera Cases Up To Almost 65,000: WHO - Some 64,701 people have caught the disease during the outbreak, which started in August, and 3,295 among them have died, the WHO said. The latest data indicated that 1,792 new cases and 66 deaths have been added since Monday, when WHO statistics showed 62,909 cases and 3,229 deaths.
Nearly 3000 Dead in Zimbabwe Cholera Outbreak - There has been a sharp rise in the number of cholera cases in Zimbabwe with the death toll nearing 3,000, the United Nations said Tuesday. The UN humanitarian office said 2,817 new cases were reported Monday, taking the cumulative number of infections since the outbreak began to 56,123.
