<p>" The three cases of Japanese Encephalitis in Penang come from different areas in the state, Penang state executive councillor for health Dr Afif Bahardin said today, suggesting that the infections did not come from a common source.</p>
<p>Two cases come from George Town and Bagan Jermal in north Seberang Perai. In the third case infection is believed to have happened in Tasek Gelugor.</p>
<p>“There are no abattoirs or pig farms in George Town and Bagan Jermal,” Dr Alif told a press conference today.</p>
<p>Pigs are reservoirs for the virus that causes the disease but the Culex mosquito is responsible for passing the virus from pigs to humans." </p>

<div style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 23px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The spike comes ahead of the period between June and October, when dengue transmission rates are usually higher.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In its post, the MEWR said the hotter months of June to October usually see higher transmission of dengue here due to the shortened breeding and maturation cycles for the Aedes mosquitoes and shorter incubation periods for the dengue virus."</span></div>

<p>" Two more trainees at the Dusun Minda Resort in Kuala Nerang have been found with Influ-enza-like Illness (ILI) symptoms.</p>
<p>“As of now, 62 trainees are being monitored by medical staff. The two joined the group when they showed ILI symptoms on Monday evening,” said camp commander Lt-Kol Hasnan Rashid.</p>
<p>“The good news is one of them recovered and medical staff have discharged him. He was allowed to rejoin the rest of the healthy trainees (yesterday morning).”</p>
<p>Lt-Kol Hasnan said the trainees under observation, including the four tested positive for H1N1 virus, were in a stable condition and that “everything is under control”.</p>
<p>Kedah Health Department director Datuk Dr Ismail Abu Taat concurred.</p>
<p>“It will take about two weeks for them to recover fully. It is not life-threatening unless it afflicts those who have health problems like lung disease and diabetes or women who are pregnant,” said Dr Ismail." </p>
