厚生労働省は9月2日、デング熱の国内感染が大阪府の女性3人を含め、山梨、青森、東京の4都府県に住む男女12人に新たに確認されたと発表した。これで、国内感染が確認された人数は34人となった。いずれも東京都の代々木公園やその周辺を訪れていたという。朝日新聞デジタルが報じた。
厚労省によると、新たに感染が確認された１２人の男女は１０歳未満から５０代。住所は東京が７人、大阪が３人、青森と山梨が１人ずつ。これで約７０年ぶりに確認された国内感染は９都府県在住の計３４人になった。大阪、青森、山梨在住者の感染確認は初めて。
１２人は８月１４日から９月１日にかけて発症した。いずれも容体は安定しているという。代々木公園かその周辺に行った日が判明している人では、８月１０日から２６日に訪れていた。

9月1日までに東京、埼玉、千葉、茨城、神奈川、新潟の6都県に住む10歳未満～50代の男女22人の感染者が見つかっていた。いずれも8月に東京都渋谷区の都立代々木公園やその周辺を訪れていたことから、公園周辺でウイルスを持った蚊に刺されて、感染したとみられている。多くは8月16日以降に発症しており、重症化はしていないという。
■愛媛県の男性も感染の疑い
また、厚労省が発表した新たな感染者には含まれていないが、愛媛県内の10代の男性も感染していた疑いがある。やはり代々木公園を訪れていた。
医療関係者によりますと、この男性は先月、東京・渋谷の代々木公園を訪れたあと、けん怠感や発熱などの症状を訴えて、愛媛県内の医療機関を受診しました。
その後、医療機関から愛媛県内の保健所に「デング熱」の疑いがあると連絡があり、国立感染症研究所が行った検査の結果、感染が確認されました。

TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Natalia Ramos\nA researcher examines transgenic Aedes aegypti mosquitos kept in cages to collect their eggs, at a laboratory of biotech company Oxitec, in Campinas, 100 km from Sao Paulo, Brazil, on August 21, 2014. Oxitec produces genetically modified mosquitoes to fight dengue, a deadly tropical disease more prevalent in Brazil than anywhere else in the world. The factory developed a technology where eggs of Aedes aegypti receive microinjection of DNA with genes that produce a protein which prevents their offsprings from reaching adulthood and thus reducing the total population of transmitters of dengue.

Noriega, 79, who was extradited from France in 2011, is serving three 20-year prison terms for the disappearance of opposition activists during his years in power (1983-89). The former dictator has been petitioning to be placed under house arrest since 2012, arguing that his ailing health warrants it. Noriega was toppled from power in a US invasion in 1989, and spent nearly two decades in prison in the United States and France on drug charges.
