There are some descriptions of water-borne outbreaks, or even small epidemics of acute gastroenteritis (diarrhoea), cholera and hepatitis E associated with catastrophic floods that occurred in developing countries, such as Sudan [34, 35], Nicaragua [36], Mozambique [37] and West Bengal [37]. On the contrary, no changes in the base-line outbreak incidence have been reported in developed countries after major floods [37, 38]. When infrastructures and water management are adequate, outbreaks of faecal-oral water-borne infectious diseases do not follow flood events, even in the case where water flooding has compromised the security of water facilities [37].

A new malaria vaccine, RTS, S/AS02D, from GSK has shown very promising results in a Phase I/IIb double-blind randomized trial of 214 infants in Mozambique. For children in the -A year-old age group, the most vulnerable group, the vaccine not only lowered the chances of infection by 65% over 3 months but also reduced episodes of clinical malaria by 35% in 6 months.
