Tiny rare owl Spotted in nature reserve in Peru
A long whiskered owlet X enoglanx was seen in Peru's northern jungle for the first time in the wild. Researchers monitoring a private conservation area recorded daylight sightings and nightly calls. The species is extremely rare with population estimates under 1,000 and possibly as few as 230 birds.

Global TB rate levels off after years of rising infections
World Health Organization figures show 136 TB cases per 100000 worldwide in 2005, barely down from 136.5 the prior year. Experts caution drug resistant TB and HIV/AIDS may fuel future spread, especially in Africa where rates exceed the global average.

Global TB rates level off but cases rise with population growth
WHO data show global TB rates steady in 2005 while the number of people with TB climbed to 8.8 million new cases and 1.6 million deaths due to population growth and gaps in treatment. Experts warn that drug resistant TB and XDR-TB complicate control efforts as Africa and wealthy nations report rising cases, and funding remains insufficient to close diagnostic and treatment gaps.
