Earthquake in El Salvador: Corpses Do Not Cause Epidemics - Washington, DC
(PAHO) January 17, 2001-- Epidemics do not occur spontaneously following
disasters, and corpses do not lead to outbreaks of tropical diseases,
according to Dr. Mirta Roses Periago, Assistant Director of the Pan

during a press conference held today in Washington.
