Ping. Only a simple article, confirming the spread of the disease. The commencement date of 1999 is noted without comment. It might be natural, but it might be organised. Perhaps this could be compared with the spread of other diseases of this type during the 1990s - Japanese encephelitis (sp?) came into Australia at that time.

As rubbertramp has pointed out, the extreme public health measures that have been taken to combat this disease seem odd, considering how few people we are told die from it.

Thanks for the heads up!
