The caravan of Central Americans marching towards the United States poses a serious public health threat and could bring dangerous diseases into the country, a prominent physician in a key border state warns. \u201cIt\u2019s insane to bring in migrants from any country without proper health screening,\u201d said Dr. Jane Orient, executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. At her Tucson, Arizona practice, Dr. Orient, a graduate of the prestigious Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, specializes in internal medicine. In an interview with Judicial Watch she said that extremely drug resistant strands of tuberculosis are among the infectious diseases the Central American migrants are likely to bring in. Others include mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue and chikungunya that are widespread in the region.<\/p>\n

The migrants are spreading malaria, yellow fever, diphtheria, dengue, tuberculosis and AIDS throughout South America. Many of the diseases had been considered eradicated in the neighboring Latin American countries, according to government officials cited in the article, which states that \u201ccontagion from Venezuela\u2019s economic meltdown is starting to spread to neighboring countries\u2014not financially, but literally, in the form of potentially deadly diseases carried among millions of refugees.\u201d As an example, the story reveals that \u201cmeasles reappeared with a vengeance\u201d in a Brazilian city near the Venezuelan border that had declared the highly contagious airborne disease \u201cvanquished\u201d nearly two decades ago. \u201cMeasles is already spreading beyond the Brazilian Amazon to other Brazilian states, as well as Colombia, Peru and as far south as Argentina, according to recent Pan American Health Organization reports,\u201d the article states. \u201cOther diseases racing through communities in Venezuela are now crossing borders and raising concerns among health authorities as far away as the U.S.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
