Why is Lyme disease classified as an emerging infection?
Lyme disease is classified as an emerging infection because its incidence has been increasing in recent years, likely due to factors like changes in land use and climate, which allow for the expansion of the tick vectors that transmit the disease. Additionally, improved diagnostic techniques have led to better recognition and reporting of cases.
No, influenza is an infectious respiratory illness caused by the influenza virus. It spreads easily from person to person through respiratory droplets when infected individuals cough, sneeze, or talk.
How did the europeans know anthrax wasnt the black death?
Because, Anthrax and the Bubonic plague, also known as Black Death are two different types of diseases. African mammals were often infected with Anthrax, and the spores could have easily reached Europe through air currents. This evidence suggests that Anthrax was present at the time of the Black Death and was responsible for or at least contributed to the great many deaths the plague caused. But whether or not it was the cause of the Black Death, or simply aided the Bubonic Plague in some capacity in making people sick, remains unclear.
Has anthrax ever caused an epidemic?
yes, if you read the book " code orange" it metions anthrax and small pox! u really should read the book! it talks alot about small pox and anthrax and a bit of cow pox! the book is orange
Can you pass on lyme disease to your baby?
Possibly.
Reportedly there is some risk of Lyme disease passing across the placenta from pregnant mother to the unborn child.
In men and women who are not pregnant, Lyme disease cannot be passed on. **** Lyme disease CAN be Passed from PERSON to PERSON. My family and I have Lyme disease. That is how we acquired it and unfortunatley passed it through birth to our children.Lyme disease and the co-infections have been found in bodily fluids, including breast milk.
What is pathogenic water pollution?
Pathogenic pollution is a form of water pollution caused by waterborne pathogens that are disease causing such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoans. These are transmitted to humans when they consume untreated or inaquately treated water. Its not practical to test water for all organisms it might contain, instead, water is examined for a specific type of bacteria that originates in large number in human and animal excreta (E. coli).
Our dog Zoey had TPLO surgery on her back leg at the Animal Emergency & Referral Hospital in Pittston, Pa on April 1, 2009.
She became deathly ill after surgery and the AE&RH could not determine the cause of her illness and extreme pain. She was transferrred to the University of Pennsylvania Animal hospital, it was proven she was infected with Serratia from her surgery. The Univerisity stated this was only the second reported case of Serratia in their history. Our vet bills are well over $ 14,000.00 and the hospital in Pittston absolutley turned their heads and pretty much said that's too bad. Please learn from our heart-breaking experience and DO NOT take your member of your family to this hospital

What kingdom is the common cold virus in?
The common cold virus, or rhinovirus, belongs to the kingdom Viruses. Viruses are not classified under any kingdom in traditional biological classification systems because they are considered acellular and do not fit the criteria for living organisms.
Do you treat with antibiotics gram positive cocci in the urine?
Nitrofurantoin is highly effective against Escherichia coli, gram-positive cocci, and many gram-negative bacteria, and it is well studied and generally well tolerated, with no significant effects on vaginal flora. However, it is inactive against most Proteus, some Enterobacter, and some Klebsiella, and it must be given for 7 days.
Although trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole can be given twice daily and has only moderate effects on bowel and vaginal flora, up to 39% of E coli responsible for community-acquired UTIs are resistant to this drug. When given for 3 days, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole is more effecti

Under typical distillation conditions, ethanol can only be purified to 95% with 5% water remaining. There are additional techniques that can be used to remove the remaining water to make it anhydrous (no water). Do not confuse 95% alcohol with 95% denatured alcohol. In denatured alcohol the remaining 5% is composed of other alcohol impurities like methanol, propanol, and butanol, to name a few.
Born between 1957 and 1963 do you need a measles vaccine?
2. Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccination. Measles component: adults born before 1957 can be considered immune to measles. Adults born during or after 1957 should receive >1 dose of MMR unless they have a medical contraindication, documentation of >1 dose, history of measles based on health-care provider diagnosis, or laboratory evidence of immunity. A second dose of MMR is recommended for adults who 1) were recently exposed to measles or in an outbreak setting; 2) were previously vaccinated with killed measles vaccine; 3) were vaccinated with an unknown type of measles vaccine during 1963--1967; 4) are students in postsecondary educational institutions; 5) work in a health-care facility; or 6) plan to travel internationally. Withhold MMR or other measles-containing vaccines from HIV-infected persons with severe immunosuppression. Mumps component: 1 dose of MMR vaccine should be adequate for protection for those born during or after 1957 who lack a history of mumps based on health-care provider diagnosis or who lack laboratory evidence of immunity. Rubella component: administer 1 dose of MMR vaccine to women whose rubella vaccination history is unreliable or who lack laboratory evidence of immunity. For women of childbearing age, regardless of birth year, routinely determine rubella immunity and counsel women regarding congenital rubella syndrome. Do not vaccinate women who are pregnant or who might become pregnant within 4 weeks of receiving vaccine. Women who do not have evidence of immunity should receive MMR vaccine upon completion or termination of pregnancy and before discharge from the health-care facility.

Influenza is unicellular or multicellular?
Influenza is not a cell, it is a respiratory disease caused by a type of viruses, called influenza viruses. Viruses are not cells, they are sub-microscopic organisms that are non-living and disease-causing in humans, animals, and plants as well as in some bacteria.
Usually, it is a cowpox vaccine, which is usually composed of a dead or dying/weak cowpox unit. This alerts your immune system, so that if you ever get it, your body will recognize it and fight it away.
Is smallpox infectious or noninfectious?
Infectious, but it no longer exists. It was eradicated decades ago.
Which organs do measles affect?
Measles is an acute, highly infectious viral disease with cough, fever, and maculopapular rash. It is of worldwide endemicity.
The virus enters the body via the respiratory system, multiplies there, and circulates in the blood. Cough, sneezing, conjunctivitis, photophobia, and fever occur, with Koplik's spots (small red spots containing a bluish-white speck in the center) in the mouth.
A rash appears after 14 days' incubation and persists 5-10 days. Serious complications may occur in 1 out of 15 persons; these are mostly respiratory (bronchitis, pneumonia), but neurological complications are also found. Encephalomyelitis occurs rarely. Permanent disabilities may ensue for a significant number of persons. Measles is one of the leading causes of death among children in the world, particularly in the developing countries.
In unvaccinated populations, immunizing infections occur in early childhood during epidemics which recur after 2-3 years' accumulation of susceptible children. Transmission is by coughing or sneezing. Measles is infectious from the onset of symptoms until a few days after the rash has appeared. Second attacks of measles are very rare. Treatment is symptomatic.
Killed virus vaccine should not be used, as certain vaccinees become sensitized and develop local reactions when revaccinated with live attenuated virus, or develop a severe illness upon contracting natural measles. Live attenuated virus vaccine effectively prevents measles; vaccine-induced antibodies persist for years. See also Biologicals; Hypersensitivity; Skin test.

How dangerous is mycobacterium tuberculosis?
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a serious bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs. It can be dangerous if left untreated, leading to complications such as spread to other organs, development of drug-resistant strains, and even death in severe cases. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial in managing TB effectively.
What is the most common injury done to a victim by measles?
The most common injury done to a victim by measles is pneumonia, which can be severe and life-threatening. Measles can also lead to complications such as encephalitis (brain inflammation) and ear infections. In rare cases, measles can cause long-term brain damage or death.
Anthrax is caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. It can be found in soil and can infect humans and animals through contact with contaminated animals or animal products. Outbreaks of anthrax have occurred throughout history, with the bacteria likely evolving alongside humans and animals.
Do the measles make you itchy?
Neither type of measles (rubella and rubeola) produces much itching. Chicken pox (varicella zoster) is the most common childhood disease that causes itching.
There are about three different causes for giardiasis they are:
.Contaminated water supplies: Sources of contaminated water supplies include public facilities that do not filter their water properly, or water that is used in lakes or rivers by hikers can sometimes become contaminated. This can cause infection
.Contaminated food: Food that has been washed in contaminated water, exposed to manure or, prepared by an infected person can spread the disease
.Person-to-person-contant: Could be caused by bad hygiene and most commonly occurs in daycare centres and nursing homes

What are the mistaken beliefs for Measles?
There are no mistaken beliefs, all the old maid precautions must be followed. At the first sight of the little rash drink a "tot" of red wine, this helps that the measles come out much quicker.
No direct light, it is best to keep in a dark room for 3 days and then slowly get use to the light. There is a possibility that your eyesight can be damaged.
Don't get wet, not even a sponge down is recommended. Drink a lot of fluids even if i is difficult to deep down.
Pan ado is the best way of breaking the fever, once that is under control healing is well on it's way.
What is the definition of a microbial cell?
A microbial cell is a single-celled organism that is too small to be seen with the naked eye and belongs to the domain of life known as microbes. These cells are diverse and include bacteria, archaea, fungi, and protists. They play important roles in various biological processes and ecosystems.
