    This disease is characterized by the sudden onset of a sustained and systemic fever, severe headache, nausea, and loss of appetite. Other symptoms include constipation or diarrhea, enlargement of the spleen, possible development of meningitis, and/or general malaise. When the bacterial cells enter, epithelial cells lining the intestine they cause host cell ruffling which temporarily damages the microvilli on the surface of the cell. This causes a rush of white blood cells into the mucosa, which throws off the ratios between absorption and secretion, and leads to diarrhea. Untreated typhoid fever cases result in mortality rates ranging from 12-30% while treated cases allow for 99%…

    Globalization and the associated advancements in technology and medicine have done much more to rid the world of dangerous and widespread diseases like polio and smallpox than they have to contribute negatively to public health. All-the-same, though, the increased possibility of global spread of disease is a an important and worrisome concern. I do not believe that the international flow of goods, food, and people should be stemmed for the sake of public health on anything but a case by case basis. As developing countries accrue wealth and political stability, health standards will rise and risk of disease will diminish. In the meantime, preventing the flow of goods, people, and food between nations will only slow development and inhibit freedom.…

    In August 2011, 15 people became ill and were hospitalized with what was later identified as Listeriosis. Listeriosis is the result of an infection of Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria commonly found in soil, water and decaying vegetation. L. monocytogenes can reside in the GI tract and vagina while the host remains asymptomatic and is not normally a cause of illness in the general population. Persons most at risk for Listeriosis are people with weakened immune systems which includes the elderly, pregnant women, neonates, and immunocompromised individuals. The lymphokine activation of T-cells on macrophages and interleukine 18 have been implicated in the protection against Listeriosis in healthy individuals, therefore persons lacking a robust immune response via these pathways are at greater risk for contracting the disease.…
