Originally, the hosts of the influenza virus were equine and avian animals who then passed the virus onto canines (Wang et al. 1). It is highly contagious and has two main causative strains. The H3N2 strain comes from avian animals, and the H3N8 strain comes from equine animals. The H3N2 strain of CIV first appeared in a limited capacity in 2007 in Asia until 2015, when it made its first appearance in the United States.…
The Age of Exploration was a period of time in which European countries competed for the best land and for the new materials and resources that were being found over in the New World. The New World was being explored for three basic reasons: economics, religion, and the desire to be glorified.

Pneumonia can be prevented with certain types of immunizations. Keeping your immune system resilient by exercising and having a healthy diet, practicing good hygiene, and quitting smoking are other ways to prevent pneumonia. Pneumonia that are caused by pneumococcal bacteria or influenza virus have vaccines available. Although vaccines cannot prevent all cases of pneumonia, compared to the one who do not get vaccinated and those who are vaccinated and still get pneumonia, tend to have a milder infection or pneumonia that does not last as long, with fewer serious complications. There are two vaccines available to prevent pneumonia and serious complications such as empyema and pleural effusion.…
After the First International Conference on the sleeping sickness in 1907 I was sent to the Gold Coast in western Africa to study the disease and provide new ways for the British Government to combat the disease.

The first stage’s symptoms include fever, itchiness, joint pain, and mild headaches. The second stage is how the disease gets its name because people who get to this stage have insomnia, numbness, and confusion.…
Many species in the world are endangered and eventually becoming extinct. The main problem that generates extinction is human activity; people cause extinction every day and unknowingly to them, it is killing innocent animals.

Pollution is among the most insidious threats to animal extinction. It can be as obvious as sewage and oil spills in water or as invisible as chemicals used every day.…
