The Southern Hemisphere flu season has begun to see increases in some temperate countries of South America and in South Africa, but activity is fairly low in such countries in the Oceana region as Australia, the World Health Organization (WHO) said yesterday in a global flu update.

Cases continue to rise in yellow fever outbreaks affecting Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Uganda, compelling the World Health Organization (WHO) to say yesterday there is high risk of the disease's spread to other provinces and neighboring countries.
Only a few new yellow fever cases have been reported in Angola in the past week, but the mostly urban epidemic is still a big concern because of persistent transmission in seven provinces and expansion to new ones, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in its weekly update today.
A preponderance of secondary MERS-CoV infections tend to occur in older and/or male relatives of a primary MERS patient and those with preexisting medical conditions, say findings of a study yesterday in Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID).
