Producer, Chris Ghent ; executive producer, Paul Williams.
Presented and reported by Liz Jackson.
Liz Jackson interviews "Case/Patient A" (known as "Anne" ), who was one of the
four patients infected with the AIDS virus after having minor surgical
procedures performed in 1989 at the private consultation rooms of Sydney surgeon,
Dr. T.P. Davis. It was only through Anne's persistance for an investigation into
the matter, that the Health Dept. made the discovery of the patient to patient
transmission & the link to Dr. Davis. The main problems Anne faced was that many
of the experts presumed that poor infection control couldn't happen here, the
minor nature of the procedure and the lack of precedence for patient to patient
transmission, although there has been documentation of this with the case of
Romanian children medically infected with AIDS through poor infection control.

Smallpox is the most deadly disease known. In 1966, when 10 million people a
year were contracting smallpox, the World Health Organisation passed an
unprecedented resolution to abolish the disease through vaccination. In 1979 the
disease was declared eradicated. June 30, 1999 is the date set for the last
cultures of smallpox to be destroyed but, unexpectedly, there is now a growing
group of eminent scientists campaigning for its preservation.

THE TROUBLE WITH MALARIA [VIDEORECORDING].
Recorded off-air from SBS-TV program, the nature of things, 28/01/99.
Copyright 1997 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Producer/director, Italo Costa ; writer, James Heer.
Presented by David Suzuki.
This investigation shows that malaria is becoming ever more able to resist the
methods we have evolved to deal with it, but because it mainly attacks women and
children in Third World countries, not enough scientific research is being done
on overcoming a disease which is one of the greatest scourges in the world today,
infecting over 500 million people every year, more than twice the figure for
1980.
