Over 5,000 pigs dead as African Swine Fever continues to ravage Mizoram
Aizawl, June 29(UNI) Mizoram's ongoing battle with African Swine Fever (ASF) has taken a grim turn, with the death toll among pigs surpassing 5,000 this year, officials from the state's Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Department confirmed on Sunday. According to department data, the total pig casualty linked to the current ASF outbreak now stands at 5,044. On Sunday alone 17 pigs succumbed to the virus across five locations in Siaha district, which has emerged as one of the hardest-hit areas. Authorities have officially declared 73 localities and villages across four districts- Siaha, Lawngtlai, Lunglei and Mamit-as ASF-infected zones. The disease has shown distinct geographic patterns in its spread: while Lunglei and Mamit have reported infections mainly in urban areas, the virus has reached rural communities in Siaha and Lawngtlai districts. Siaha, situated in southern Mizoram, shares a porous international border with Myanmar, and Lawngtlai district is flanked by both Myanmar and Bangladesh. Lunglei is bordered by other Mizoram districts, while Mamit touches the borders of Bangladesh and Tripura- raising concerns about transboundary transmission. Although no culling operations were carried out on Sunday, the cumulative number of pigs culled as a containment measure has climbed to 1,631. The authorities have been carrying out strategic culling in high-risk zones to limit the spread of the highly contagious viral disease, which has no known cure or vaccine. Officials continue to urge pig farmers to follow stringent biosecurity measures and report any signs of illness in their livestock. With new localities being affected each week, veterinary teams remain on high alert to prevent further escalation. UNI XC RKM

Spain's Bonmati discharged from hospital following viral meningitis diagnosis
Madrid, June 29 (UNI) Spain midfielder Aitana Bonmati has been discharged from hospital after she was diagnosed with viral meningitis, just days before the 2025 UEFA Women's European Championship starts in Switzerland. The 27-year-old did not train on Thursday ahead of Spain's friendly against Japan on Friday in Leganes, Spain, which they won 3-1. She shared a picture on Instagram of herself watching the match from a hospital bed in Madrid, where she was taken with doctors from the Spanish Football Federation, who later confirmed the diagnosis. The Spanish Women's Football Federation confirmed today, June 29, 2025, that she has left hospital and will rejoin the Spain squad in the coming days. The Spanish star also posted on Instagram, "Fortunately, everything is going well. I hope to be back soon." Bonmati has won the Ballon d'Or for the past two years and was also the recipient of of the Fifa women's player of the year award in 2023 and 2024. She has scored 30 goals in 78 games for Spain and was a key player in the side when they won the 2023 World Cup and the Nations League in 2024. EURO 2025 starts on Wednesday, with Spain playing Portugal in their opening Group B game in Bern on Thursday. UNI RKM

AX-4 crew fully immersed in their mission aboard ISS
Chennai, June 29 (UNI) The four member Ax-4 crew were fully immersed in their mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS), Axiom Space said today. On the fourth day updates, it said Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) Commander Peggy Whitson, Indian Pilot Shubhanshu Shukla 'Shux,' Mission Specialist Sławosz 'Suave' Uznański-Wiśniewski, and Mission Specialist Tibor Kapu are now fully immersed in their mission aboard the ISS wrapping up their day on orbit with a schedule full of scientific research and international outreach." The Ax-4 crew has transitioned smoothly from arrival protocols to hands-on research. With microgravity acclimation behind them, the crew is now diving into a diverse portfolio of experiments that could shape the future of medicine, agriculture, and space exploration, it said. Peggy led the charge on the 4th day yesterday with work on the Cancer in LEO-3 investigation. Building on previous Axiom Space missions, this study focuses on how cancer cells behave in microgravity. Specifically, it examines tumor organoids and how a new model of triple-negative breast cancer responds to drug treatments in space. "The goal? To validate earlier findings and potentially unlock new therapeutic strategies that could benefit patients on Earth and astronauts on long-duration missions", Axiom Space said. Shux spent time in the Life Sciences Glovebox (LSG) working on the Myogenesis experiment. This study aims to uncover the biological pathways behind skeletal muscle degradation in space —a major challenge for astronauts. By identifying these mechanisms, researchers hope to develop targeted therapies that could not only protect space travelers, but also aid people suffering from muscle-degenerative diseases on Earth. Tibor deployed the Rad Nano Dosimeter, a compact device designed to monitor radiation exposure aboard the space station. Understanding how radiation affects the human body in space is critical for planning future missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. The data collected could also enhance Earth-based radiation monitoring technologies, benefiting industries from healthcare to environmental science. Tibor began setting up the Vitapric investigation. This plant biology experiment explores how plant growth primers affect the development of microgreens in space. The goal is to enhance the nutritional value of space-grown crops—boosting vitamins, proteins, and minerals--to support sustainable food production for future long-duration missions. In addition, the crew initiated the Cerebral Hemodynamics study, completing the first session after installing the necessary software. Using ultrasound technology, this research explores how blood circulates in the brain under microgravity conditions. The findings could improve our understanding of cardiovascular adaptation in space and inform medical diagnostics and treatments for conditions like stroke and hypertension on Earth. Shux also took part in a historic outreach event by speaking with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The conversation highlighted the growing global collaboration in space exploration and inspired audiences back on Earth. Peggy and Suave are also preparing to join Axiom Space Chief Scientist Dr. Lucie Low for a special discussion on space radiation. They'll talk about the radiation research being conducted during Ax-4 and how it could help protect astronauts on future deep space missions. UNI GV 1710
