There is an alert to Japanese encephalitis in Kochi. I hope you all get vaccinations (the article is from Kochi News Paper on August 20th).
***************************************
Alert: Japanese encephalitis infection in Kochi
On August 17th, the Kochi prefecture office alerted people of an infection of the Japanese encephalitis virus. They took blood samples from ten random pigs to test for this virus. After being tested, 80% of the pigs were infected with the virus. It is usually thought to be dangerous at 50% infection. Pigs are compromised carriers of the Japanese Encephalitis virus and people can be infected indirectly through mosquitoes. One in 1,000 people who are infected by the virus may develop serious encephalitis and 20-40% of people who got encephalitis may lose their lives. In Kochi, there are no reports of the patients after 2011, but in Japan, 3 cases were reported last year. Please be careful about mosquitoes, and please remember to vaccinate children for the disease, if they haven’t been already.

(8月20日高知新聞より）
高知県は１７日、日本脳炎ウイルス感染への注意喚起を発表した。１４日に県内で飼育されている豚１０頭に血液検査を行い、８頭が陽性反応を示し、流行地域の判定基準（５０％）を上回った。
日本脳炎は、ウイルスに感染した豚の血液を吸った蚊（コガタアカイエカ）が人を刺すことで感染する。感染した約千人に１人が重篤な脳炎を発症し、２０～４０％が亡くなるとされる。
県内では２０１１年以降、患者は発生していないが、全国では昨年３人報告された。県は「野外で活動する際は蚊に刺されないよう注意し、ワクチンの定期接種対象となっている子どもは接種を」と呼び掛けている。

It was good that the typhoon damage here was not as serious as the heavy rain in July. After the typhoon we are closer to autumn now, but because of a climate change, it may be difficult to control your health condition. Please take care.
台風の被害が7月の豪雨の時ほどではなくて一安心しましたが、被災地の方々には心よりお見舞い申し上げます。少し秋の気配が深くなりますが、夏の疲れが出るころです。体調には十分お気を付けて下さい。
