Decent Essays
Good Morning,

This is Brittney Cole from your Epidemiology of Infectious Disease class, I see that I received a 0% for modules 4-6 and I was wondering what that was pertaining to? The only Discussion Board topics I have listed are "Where's a good place to eat sushi? Should I be eating sushi" "Worst diarrheic disease" and "Not About Diarrhea, or even Eating (Just WHATEVER)..." Thank you in advance, and please enjoy the rest of your weekend
!

Very Respectfully,

    I, Megan Barrett, have chosen the book “Fever 1793”. There are many historically accurate writings in this novel. Matilda's grandfather would talk about and spread his stories about himself being part of George Washington’s army during the Revolutionary war. This is accurate because the Revolutionary war was from April 19th, 1775 to the official end of the war, September 3rd, 1783 when the Treaty of Paris was signed. This story time is 1793 therefore I can see how Matilda’s grandfather would still tell about how the war was due to it only being 10 years since the end of the war.…

    During the dark ages, the belief in witchcraft, commerce and the draconian response by the church to the threat of the Black Death, accelerated and in many ways helped spread the Bubonic Plague. Yersinia Pestis, often referred to as the Black Plague or the Black Death is a bacterial infection found mainly in rodents and their fleas, however, it was the rat fleas that spread the plague to humans, while the rats, simply carried the plague from region to region.

The name bubonic plague is a misconception, there were actually three forms of plague: the Bubonic, the Pnuemonic, and the Septicemic plagues, and they were all caused by the same germ, Yersinia Pestis. Yersinia Pestis, once called Pasteurella pestis1, "is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped coccobacillus, a facultative anaerobic organism"1. A Gram negative baterium can't be stained by crystal violet stain. This kind of bacterium has an extra, outer layer, that is made of proteins, that keeps the stain out9.…

As a result of this, a sanitary engineer known as George Sober, quickly questioned the ill group of people, including Mary Mallon who had exhibited a less intense form of the disease.
