A raging TB epidemic in Papua New Guinea threatens to destabilize the entire Asia Pacific
In Papua New Guinea, a TB epidemic threatens to turn into a disaster that could destabilize the Asia Pacific region. Situated about 90 miles from Australia in the Pacific Ocean, the island nation sees more than 100 cases of TB every day.
Of these cases, five are drug-resistant strains, and 10 people will die, according to World Health Organization figures.
The mosquito is the state bird of New Jersey.
