Efficacy of the first oral vaccination against fox rabies in Slovenia

Fox population reduction was the first measure undertaken to control rabies in foxes, but this proved unsuccessful. The promising results of oral immunisation of foxes against rabies in some European countries encouraged the authorization of the first rabies vaccination of foxes in the field in Slovenia, in October 1988. In the present study, intervention analysis is used to evaluate the results of this vaccination campaign. The analysis took into account the cyclic nature of fox rabies and the possible effects of variability in the fox carcass submission rate. The results confirmed the decrease in fox rabies after the launch of the vaccination campaign. The reduction was independent of both cyclic oscillations in fox rabies and variability in carcass submission rate, thus indicating a positive net effect of the vaccination.

Ex-patients, like 18-year-old Alex Page, pictured, will visit schools to get the message across. The scheme coincides with Child Safety Week, which begins on Friday July 1.

Legal aspects of deliberate marine pollution during the Gulf War

A few days after the launch of the Coalition air campaign against Iraq at the start of the Gulf War, apparently on 19 January 1991, the Iraqis in occupation of Kuwait opened valves at the Kuwait Oil Company Sea Island terminal near Kuwait City and deliberately pumped large quantities of crude oil from it and at least three tankers berthed there into the Gulf. Although much of this oil evaporated or was dispersed, a large slick moved southward and began to accumulate from 24 January on the north coast of Saudi Arabia, and only the precision bombing of its manifolds by US bombers stemmed the flow of oil from the terminal. On 31 January it was reported that Iraq had also begun pumping oil into the Gulf from its own Mina al-Bakr terminal to the North-East of the Kuwaiti island of Bubiya, thus creating a second major slick. Coalition aircraft also precision-bombed this. Estimates of the quantities of oil released vary greatly, and it is clear that, while early estimates that it was the greatest oil pollution disaster of all time might not be substantiated, nevertheless, the releases were very substantial and that it polluted at least a 50 km stretch of the Saudi coast as well as killing large quantities of seabirds; any additional serious environmental effects are not yet apparent. It is the purpose of this article to examine the legal aspects of these deliberate releases of oil and to suggest ways in which the relevant law might be improved.

Prevention of rickets in Asian children: assessment of the Glasgow campaign.

In March 1979 the Greater Glasgow Health Board launched a campaign to reduce the high prevalence of rickets in Asian children in the city. A precampaign survey had shown that voluntary low dose vitamin D supplementation would reduce the prevalence of rickets in Asian children. A survey carried out two and three years after the launch of the official campaign also showed a reduction in the prevalence of rickets in children taking low dose supplements equivalent to about 2.5 micrograms (100 IU) vitamin D daily. There was a considerable reduction in the total prevalence of rickets in this survey compared with the precampaign survey. Hospital discharges of Asian children with rickets declined rapidly after the start of the campaign.
