What immunisations do you need for Vietnam?
This isn't the 60's. Times change and so do laws (requirements). Back in those days "malaria" was the only problem...and a tiny white pill and a large tan (flesh colored) pill was issued to the men to protect them from malaria. The tan pill was for once a week, and the white ones were for daily consumption; (hint: no one took them after the first week or two).
Are there mosquitoes in cape verde?
The only mosquitoes in Cape Verde are on the island of Santiago, and even then they are only around during a few months in the Summer. The holiday islands of Sal and Boa Vista are too hot and dry for them to survive. It is extremely unlikely that you will see mosquitoes here and even if you do they are unlikely to carry malaria. You should always visit a doctor before you travel to ensure your immunisations are up to date. They should be able to tell you whether the Cape Verde islands are a Malaria risk.

Why is malaria difficult to treat?
Malaria is a single-celled protozoan parasite and is not a bacterium. This means it does not have cell walls unlike bacteria. Penicillin and other beta-lactam antibiotics kill bacteria by stopping the repair and remodeling of the bacterial cell wall through inhibition of peptidoglycan synthesis, which is necessary to maintain the cell wall. Other classes of antibiotics, particularly tetracyclines, however, can work against malaria because they target a function that is present in both bacteria and malaria parasites.

What are disadvantages of Rabbit calicivirus disease?
alot lesson poison is being used.after released it doesnt cost any moneydoesnt cause the animal any painonce released it spreads naturaly:)err....disadvantages, many. I just watched helplessly as my 4 year old gorgeous doe died after many spasms and growns, leaving behind her ten week old litter of nine. Then, one by one they met their deaths also - whats natural about this???? Also the vaccine is made from the base livers of infected rabbits, so rabbits are killed in order for others to be saved. No sense. I paid $200 for a vet home visit and 6 immunisations , of which two died since - and its recommended to be repeated every year.What I have Learnt? EVERYONE NEEDS INSECT PROOF RABBIT CAGES. This did not occur NATURALLY....That virus was planted at some stage by someone and it's not fair that they get away with it.
