MASON CITY, Iowa - Each year, an estimated 800,000 children are reported missing.

Thats according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Saturday, an event in our area is shedding some light on the issues of child abuse and child sex trafficking.

For Patty Wetterling, it's a subject that hits close to home.

In 1989 her 11-year old son Jacob was abducted near their St. Joseph home, and to this day he hasn't been found.

Shortly after he went missing, Patty founded the Jacob Wetterling Foundation and has become an activist for missing and exploited children.

Now she's sitting on a panel at an event called "Breaking the Chains of Modern Slavery."

"We weren't thinking, we simply weren't thinking, who would do that and I think we should be that shocked and that surprised."

Many believe something like sex trafficking could never happen in their communities, but these panelists are bringing to light the harsh reality, that sexual exploitation of children can happen anywhere.

A dozen years before the U.S. Civil War, North America was in the throes of a devastating cholera pandemic that had already claimed hundreds of thousands of lives worldwide. In Philadelphia, a physician named John Neill gathered intestines from six victims of the deadly disease, to be used for teaching purposes.

Cholera outbreak creeps closer to Haiti capital

Flash forward 165 years and now one of those specimens, from an unknown male, has yielded the complete DNA of the cholera strain that was responsible for the pandemic. The find, a tour de force for modern genomics, offers new insights into the evolution of a deadly disease while underscoring the hidden value of traditional medical specimens in museum and university collections around the world.

This research is significant because it allows us to reconstruct ancestral forms of a disease that is still with us today, said Hendrik Poinar, an evolutionary geneticist and lead researcher at McMaster Universitys Ancient DNA Centre in Hamilton, where the cholera genome was retrieved.

Cholera, a bacterial infection of the small intestine, is generally acquired through drinking unsanitary water. If untreated, the disease can kill its victim in as little as a day by causing severe diarrhea and dehydration. The disease is endemic in the region around the Bay of Bengal, where it is thought to have originated thousands of years ago. Maritime trade by steamship brought cholera in contact with the rest of the world in the early 1800s. Since then, there have been seven major global outbreaks of cholera, but apart from the sixth and seventh outbreak, its not known which particular strain of the bug was behind each pandemic. Because cholera is not preserved in bones or teeth, researchers have not been able to identify and study earlier versions of the disease or trace its genetic development.

That changed after Dr. Poinar and his colleagues heard from Anna Dhody, curator of the Mtter Museum in Philadelphia, where Dr. Neills specimens now reside. In 2008, those discussions eventually brought a team from Canada to the museum, where they painstakingly opened the lead- and wax-sealed jars containing the intestines preserved in alcohol, in hopes of extracting cholera-bearing tissue.

Youre never sure its going to work, said Alison Devault, a PhD student at McMaster and lead author of a paper describing the find, published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine. When youre working with one-of-a-kind samples it can be so tantalizing but it may not pan out.

In fact, only one of the six samples yielded cholera DNA, but in that case there was enough to enable the team to reassemble the microbes entire genome. What made that goal achievable was the advent of a new technology, known as high through-put sequencing, which only became available partway through the teams analysis.

The results show that the cholera that ravaged the continent in the 1840s killing former U.S. president James K. Polk, among many others was an early form of what is known as the classical strain of the disease. In more recent times, another strain, called El Tor, has risen in prominence and researchers are trying to understand why. A variant of El Tor is known to have caused more than 8,000 deaths and widespread illness following a January, 2010, earthquake in Haiti.

The cholera genome the team assembled has more copies of a gene that produces the CTX toxin, which is what triggers the disease. That means the 1849 form of the classical strain may have been more deadly than the current form, though further research will be needed to fully interpret thisand other genetic differences the team uncovered. Like many pathogens, cholera has evolved through the slow ticking clock of mutational change as well as through the wholesale transfer of genes between strains, Dr. Poinar said. A better understanding of that evolution may eventually help researchers develop new drugs that more effectively target the disease.

Allotments representative Annette Foan.

AROUND 40 sheds were ripped open in a second break-in at a community allotment, forcing angry gardeners to consider forking out on CCTV cameras.

To send a link to this page to a friend, you must be logged in.

The Bournville allotment, which is located behind Lonsdale Avenue and Windwhistle Circle and just yards from Weston St John Football Club, was broken into on New Years Day.

One man, who has maintained an allotment there since the site opened in July 2010, has decided to give up his plot after having a chainsaw and generator stolen.

Site manager Cheryl Puttman said: There were quite a few sheds which were ripped open with what I can only assume were hammers.

They took a radio and a couple of chainsaws. It looks like they were just scouting around looking for anything worth selling.

It is a good community down here and we help each other out and Im worried some people might leave.

The site started as an overgrown field and everyones worked really hard here and this has disheartened them.

My dad died from pancreatic cancer at 54 Im making sure Im eating my vegetables and staying away from the red meat, he said.
