The fact that dengue is also responsible for such a large proportion of febrile episodes among the entire population of an endemic area such as Binh Thuan, was underexposed.
In highly endemic areas such as Binh Thuan, the incidence of complicated dengue is probably the tip of the iceberg which surfaces in a cyclic, epidemic, pattern, following the introduction of new dengue virus serotypes.
That 'pull' effect was clearly demonstrated in some provinces in Vietnam such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, Da Nang, and Dong Nai.
4 Our seroprevalence rates also appear lower than reports from neighboring Southeast Asian countries, such as Southern Vietnam (Binh Thuan Province) showing 53% dengue IgG prevalence among children 7 years of age, 12 and a study from Thailand (Mueang district, Ratchaburi Province) showing 69% dengue IgG prevalence among children (5 12 years of age).
For example, the acquisition of FZT infection by overwintered juveniles in Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh provinces has implications for grow-out farms in nearby provinces such as Thanh Hoa, Thai Binh, and Ha Nam, as well as in provinces further north, which are major customers for these fish.
In some provinces, the migrant population represents more than 10% of the total population, such as in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Binh Duong, and Hanoi.
STONY BROOK: Bai Ling, left, as Ling, and Damien Nguyen, as Binh, in "Beautiful Country," by Hans Petter Moland, followed by a discussion with Thora Wagner of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
Her famous salon, as far as Binh is concerned, is a blur of attractive, anonymous young men -- only Paul Robeson enters the story by name for a brief cameo.
The chicken is king in Vietnam, and the casual visitor to villages such as this, in the northern province of Thai Binh, in the flood plains of the Red River, east of Hanoi, would never guess that they are on the frontline of a titanic microbiological war.
Freshwater fish hatcheries in Nam Dinh, Ninh Binh, and Bac Ninh provinces include facilities such as a water reservoir, water storage facilities, breeding tanks, and incubators for hatching eggs.
