Idyllic rural NSW is a hotspot for motor neurone disease

"Our recent mortality paper shows that if you live in rural and regional Australia, you are 40 per cent more likely to die from motor neurone disease. This cannot be genetic."
"Much attention will be focused on MND hotspots which include regional centres such as Griffith, Leeton, Wagga Wagga and Narrandera in the Riverina where rates of the degenerative illness are estimated to be five to seven times the national average. Other areas of concern include Tamworth, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie." >>

A really good explanation of cyclosporiasis, the current outbreak, and why pinning down the source is so hard.
Advise too.
"Yes, washing your produce takes care of most of it. But that is not likely to remove all #Cyclospora Cooking is what we need to do. Cook your food, people. I, for one, can do without fresh salads until this particular emergency is over. (This is just me being me, and not an official public health recommendation.)" -- By @deonandan

Interesting paper about the impact of missed cases on the accuracy of screening tools, likely of interest beyond autism research and practice communities.

I enjoyed in particular, that "[t]he strengths and benefits of blending epidemiology and psychometric perspectives to identify screening tools that are weaker than expected are discussed."
