Cruise ship quarantines, Ebola outbreaks, diphtheria deaths in Australia — it can sometimes feel like we're back in the middle of a global health scare. So how worried should we actually be? Joining us back in the studio is infectious diseases specialist Dr Fernando Gordíllo Altamirano. Fernando is a medical doctor from Ecuador with a master’s degree in infection and immunity from the University of Sydney. At the Monash University-based Barr Lab, he’s tackling the global health threat of antimicrobial resistance. Specifically, he’s looking at bacteriophage therapy as a treatment strategy against multi-drug-resistant bacterial pathogens such as Acinetobacter baumannii.

Mipango inafanywa kupeleka wauguzi zaidi katika Wilaya ya Kaskazini kujibu mlipuko mbaya zaidi wa diphtheria nchini kwa zaidi ya miaka 30.Kesi 230 za maambukizo zimeripotiwa mwaka huu, kesi nyingi zikiwa katika Wilaya ya Kaskazini, lakini pia katika majimbo ya Magharibi Australia, Kusini Australia na Queensland.Nchini Uganda, zaidi ya watu 100 wamewekwa karantini, baada ya kushukiwa kuambukizwa virusi vya Ebola, wakati huu serikali ikiweka mikakati ya kuzuia kusambaa kwa virusi hivyo, baada ya watu wawili kuthibitishwa kuambukizwa jijini Kampala.Bonyeza hapo juu kwa taarifa kamili.

Waziri wa Afya Mark Butler ametetea utoaji wa kifurushi cha dola milioni 7 kutoka kwa serikali kusaidia kujibu mlipuko wa ugonjwa wa diphtheria ambayo ni maambukizi makubwa ya bakteria yanayoambukiza sana na huathiri njia zakupumua na inaweza sababisha vidonda kwenye mwili pia.Kiwango cha ukosefu wa ajira nchini Australia kimepanda hadi asilimia 4.5, huku kazi 19,000 zikiaondoka katika uchumi mnamo Aprili. Ofisi ya Takwimu ya Australia inasema ongezeko la ukosefu wa ajira imechangiwa na kupungua kwa ajira ya wanawake, kushuka kwa kwanza katika kitengo hicho tangu Agosti 2025.Shirika la Afya Duniani WHO limesema mlipuko wa Ebola ambao tayari umesababisha vifo vya watu 130 nchini Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasi ya Kongo huenda ulianza miezi miwili iliyopita.Bonyeza hapo juu kwa taarifa zaidi.

Australia is facing its worst diphtheria outbreak in decades, with 230 cases reported (as of 21 May 2026) across four states and territories, and Western Australia recording its first respiratory cases in about 50 years. Sydney based GP Dr Anju Aggarwal explains what diphtheria is, how it spreads, the symptoms to watch for, and why adults shouldn't assume their childhood vaccinations are enough. Tune in now.

There have now been more than 220 cases of diphtheria reported so far this year across Australia, primarily in the Northern Territory but also in Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland. The Government has announced a $7.2 million vaccine blitz - but will it do enough to protect First Nations communities?

Northern Territory health officials say a third of the people with diphtheria there have been hospitalised as the outbreak continues to spread.

Australia's worst diphtheria outbreak in decades has spread across Northern Territory into Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia, with more than 230 [[as of May 21]] cases of the disease reported so far this year. Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations and health workers are welcoming a $7 million federal government funding package aimed at supporting the response to the outbreak. But, experts say the re-emergence of the disease exposes serious gaps in the public health system.

Australia is currently experiencing the worst outbreak of diphtheria in decades, which is spreading across several states and putting health authorities on alert. Can this lead to a new Covid-type pandemic? - Australien erlebt aktuell den schwersten Diphtherie-Ausbruch seit Jahrzehnten, der sich über mehrere Bundesstaaten ausbreitet und die Gesundheitsbehörden in Alarmbereitschaft versetzt. Kann das zu einer neuen covid-artigen Pandemie führen?Nachdem die hochansteckende bakterielle Infektion durch jahrzehntelange Impfprogramme als nahezu ausgerottet galt, gab es in den vergangenen Wochen plötzlich einen massiven Anstieg der Fallzahlen.

The Federal Government is allocating more than $7 million to roll-out more diphtheria vaccines as the outbreak worsens in the Northern Territory, Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia.

In January 1925, a deadly diphtheria outbreak threatened the small, frozen town of Nome and the only hope was antitoxin that had to be rushed across Alaska by dog sled in the middle of a massive, subzero blizzard. In this episode, we break down the science of diphtheria, the relay that became known as the Great Serum Run, and the real story behind Togo, Balto, and the race that saved lives.

Remember when a bunch of dogs saved hundreds of human's lives in Alaska a century ago? In January of 1925, diphtheria, a deadly disease, swept through the village Nome, Alaska… killing multiple children. The town was frozen in for the winter. No roads in or out. No ships able to break through the ice in the sea around it. No planes able to fly through a winter so cold, temperatures on the ground would plummet to nearly -90 degrees Fahrenheit. The only hope to deliver life-saving anti-toxins to the area? Alaska's wildly hearty, determined, and heroic sled dogs. For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com
