Daily News… OVER 1,000 ILL AS JAPAN TAINTED FOOD SCANDAL WIDENS More than 1,000 people have fallen ill after eating pesticide-contaminated frozen food as a scandal widens across Japan, Jiji Press reported Wednesday. People have reported vomiting, diarrhoea and other symptoms of food poisoning after eating products including pizza and lasagne made by a subsidiary of Maruha Nichiro Holdings, the nation’s largest seafood firm. The number of people affected by the tainted food has now risen to over 1,000, with more than 200 taken ill in the northern main island of Hokkaido alone, Jiji said. In western Osaka prefecture, a nine-month-old baby was hospitalised with vomiting on Monday after eating a product called creamy corn croquettes, the report said. Police began investigating the company last month after it revealed some of its frozen food had been tainted with malathion, an agricultural chemical often used to kill aphids in corn and rice fields. Detectives are looking at the possibility that the pesticide was deliberately added to the food at some stage of production at a factory in Gunma, north of Tokyo, Jiji said. As of Wednesday, Maruha Nichiro has received about 630,000 phone calls from consumers in connection with the incident, including complaints from customers who had eaten tainted products and some reporting unusual odours, a company spokeswoman said. The food maker has recalled 6.4 million potentially tainted products, with 1.49 million packages recovered so far, she said. None of the products in question had been shipped overseas, the company said. While food scares do happen in Japan -- in August 2012 E. coli-riddled cabbage killed seven people and sickened dozens -- standards are relatively high. However, a much-vaunted reputation for safe and high quality food has been badly affected by the Fukushima atomic disaster, which saw acres of farmland polluted by nuclear fall-out and many countries restrict agricultural imports from the area.

International News… ENJOY THE GIRAFFE Ancient Romans dined on giraffes, pink flamingos and exotic spices from as far away as Indonesia, according to a new scientific study of excavations in Pompeii near Naples in southern Italy. The study found that menus in the city were far richer and more varied than previously thought. The most used foods found in drains and dumps were grains, fruits, nuts, olives, lentils, local fish and eggs but there was also more exotic fare like salted fish from Spain, or imported shellfish and sea urchins. A joint of giraffe was found in the drain of one home.
GAFFE DELAYS CHILE’S DRAWBRIDGE It was meant to be Chile’s first drawbridge, but was built with at least one traffic deck upside-down. The 30-million dollar project was supposed to open this month, and become an instant landmark connecting Valdivia with Teja island by bridging the Cau Cau River. But it has ended up a laughingstock in local social media, as Chileans wondered how construction workers managed to mess up something as seemingly clear as up and down. The gaffe also got President Sebastian Pinera a bit defensive. «It can be fixed, ... and it will be fixed by the company that made the mistake».

Inventory of ants and termites
Pay attention to Azteca delpini antillana and Solenopsis invicta !
Ph.D Leonide Celini, in charge of the inventory of ants and termites on behalf of the association, has noted of dangers presented by the increasing presence on the island of two kinds if ants: Solenopsis invicta and Azetca Delpini antillana, better known as the Large Fire Ant. “As part of the inventory of the fauna and flora of Saint Barthélemy undertaken by the association, St Barth Essential, we conducted an entomological mission from August 17 to 22, 2013. Its purpose was to continue the inventory of termites and ants that we started in 2011. Two ants, Azteca delpini antillana Forel, 1899 (determination Celini & Delabie, 2011) and the large fire ant, Solenopsis invicta (determination Celini & Delabie, 2011) represent a potential threat to biodiversity, both animal and plant, but also in terms of health, in the case of the large fire ant. Azteca delpini antillana The presence of the Azteca delpini antillana in St. Barth had never been reported before 2011, probably due to lack of a scientific study. This ant is known (or similar species) in the Amazon, Brazil, St. Lucia, Trinidad, and Guadeloupe. In 2011, we identified these ants on two of the 11 sites surveyed during our previous inventory missions (see the report on our website www. stbarthessentiel.com). They formed sparsely populated and non-aggressive colonies. Classified in the subfamily of Dolichoderinae, Azteca delpini antillana measures 2.5 to 3.5 mm long. Workers have a yellow-orange head with an abdomen that alternates color from dark to light and ends with a stinger. They are easily recognized because they raise their abdomen when moving. During our August 2013 inspection, the ant was collected at sites where it seemed absent two years before. Their colonies are now very populous and show strong aggression towards vertebrates, including humans, when they’re disturbed. This ant is found in different environments, along beaches, in shrub and ravine areas. It nests in separate cavities that they dig in living trees. The cavities are located, in most cases, either at the end of the branches or at the nodes of the larger branches. Ants leave their cavities by holes to forage or defend the nest. They gradually leave the most attacked part of the plant to other more healthy parts.
When an ant colony is disturbed, workers rush to sting intruders. Bites are very annoying and itchy. This ant often nests in the Gaïac (Guaiacum officinale), a tree protected by the Washington Convention. This plant, native of continental tropical America and the Caribbean, is present everywhere 0n the island. Five to six meters in height, it has dense and glossy foliage, small blue flowers, and seeds surrounded by a bright orange skin. In the past, over exploitation (it’s one of the densest tropical woods) for its medicinal properties (expectorant, antiseptic and choleretic) and other uses (dyes, perfumes), led to its near extinction in the Caribbean. Particular attention should be paid to its status in order to prevent its gradual disappearance in St Barth. Solenopsis invicta Solenopsis invicta, known as the large fire ant (in comparison with the little fire ant Wasmannnia auropunctata), is also present in St Barth. This ant is native of Brazil and is now considered as the most dangerous ant worldwide. It is recognizable by certain scientific characteristics, including the presence on its clypeus of three teeth. It is very dangerous because it is an omnivore that has the strong ability of mass mobilization and no aggression between the different nests. The Queen is also extremely fertile. There may be several queens, but there is no hierarchy. The adults tend to migrate over great distances. The ant has a stinger at the end of its abdomen, which allows it to inject venom consisting of highly corrosive formic acid, 40% concentrated. The ant clings with its mandibles on the skin and sinks her sting repeatedly. It simultaneously releases a pheromone that attracts other ants: they all rush to the enemy! Its sting is very painful and can be compared to a cigarette burn. Unlike the bee, the ant keeps its stinger each time she bites and can sting seven to eight time consecutively. Ants bite only when they feel attacked (disturbance of their nest). Victims of serious bites may require a skin graft or even amputation. Stings kill about 80 people allergic to insect bites per year in the USA. By PhD. Leonide Celini, Entomologist, Paris Est - Créteil University - BIOEMCO Laboratory (IBIOS team)
