" CANBERRA, Nov. 10 : Australia's Queensland health officials said Wednesday they were monitoring a cholera outbreak happened near the Torres Strait islands.
The Torres Strait is a body of water which lies between Australia and the Melanesian island of Papua New Guinea (PNG).
Papua New Guinea's cholera outbreak has resulted in 64 locals being treated in hospital. Thirteen children have died on a remote island near Australia's Torres Strait.
Infection rates have slowed after the outbreak began on PNG's north coast in August last year and spread throughout the mainland.
Now the disease appears to have surfaced on remote Daru Island, 50 kilometres from Saibai Island on the Australian side of the Torres Strait."
