Incubation period

successfully infected its host, the host may experience a wide breadth of symptoms ranging from mild abdominal pain, to acute cramping, violent diarrhea and fever. Blood, pus, and mucus may be found in the stool of the host in more severe cases. Incubation period can be anywhere between 12 and 96 hours, and recovery may range from 5 to 7 days2. Shigella outbreaks may occur as a result of a food handler/server being a carrier and not practicing efficient hand washing techniques. Shigella can also…

The Possibilities of a Climate Crisis In the book, Truth to Power by Al Gore, Gore asks three questions, “Must we change?”, “Can we change?”, “Will we change?” (Gore 10). Gore is certain that the answers to the first two questions are yes. Regarding the last question, Gore seems optimistic that we can change, but only if we stay committed to our global consensus (Gore 10). Based on Al Gore’s findings, he believes that infectious diseases through insects, catastrophic storms, and the impacts on…

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus, a member of the Spondweni serocomplex, whose natural transmission cycle involves mainly vectors from the Aedes genus (A. furcifer, A. taylori, A. luteocephalus and A. africanus) and monkeys, while humans are occasional hosts. The illness is usually mild comprising symptoms lasting for several days to a week after being bitten by an infected mosquito. People usually don’t get sick enough to go to the hospital, and they very rarely die of Zika.…

coli, it can become very harmful for them. they can develop symptoms such as blood in their stool, diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach cramping. The symptoms can last anywhere from five to ten day. In addition to that, the incubation period for the agent is anywhere from one to ten days.4 The pathogen infects about 100,000 people yearly and of that about 3,000 have to be hospitalized and about 90 people die every year just in the United States from E. coli. 5 When reporting a…

It is well known that phosphorus is a major growth limiting plant nutrient for completion of plant life cycle. The exogenous application of P as chemical fertilizer has been found indispensable for the maximized crop yields but continuously increasing cost and non-availability of phosphatic fertilizer is a great barrier to farmers. It is comprehensively reported that most of the soils are sufficient in total P content but the major constraint is the availability of P to plants because it forms…

The sample contained scrapie PrP, and the entire flock was infected with Scrapie (Vallabh S, 2013). Since the proteins form fibres, there are two places of conversion, meaning prion proteins are replicated rapidly; however, they have a long incubation period, so a prion disease can go years before any symptoms occur (CDC, 2015). Prion proteins are believed to originated from a messenger protein, a pathogen that lost its genetic material to the surrounding cell, or from a proteins’ urge to form…

3.1 MATERIALS Kinnow: Kinnow used in this study were procured from local market of Hisar. Identical cultivar, color and source were selected in an attempt to minimize variability in carotenoids and ascorbic acid contents which were associated with variety, color and growing conditions. Procured kinnow samples were fresh, mature, fully ripened and were free from any spot and blemishes. Chemicals: All chemicals used during study were of analytical grade (AR) and were supplied by Qualigens…

Competition Of Chlamydomonas and Blue-Green Algae For Resources In The Campus Lake General Research Question: Will competition affect resources available in the Campus Lake? Population Ecology Experiment Null Hypothesis: The presence of Blue-Green Algae will not have an effect on the Chlamydomonas population. Alternative Hypothesis: The presence of Blue-Green Algae will have an effect on the Chlamydomonas population. Community Ecology Experiment Null Hypothesis: Nitrate concentration will…

Newly Independent States (NIS) of the former Soviet Union by the end of 1994. There were over 150,000 cases resulting in 5,000 deaths from 1990 to 1998. Diphtheria is caused by a pathogenic bacterium called Corynebacterium diphtheriae. During the period when NIS gained their independence, the health care system in the former Soviet Union was so bad that Russian president, Vladimir Putin, had to call a national emergency when the outbreak occurred. The death rate dropped by 5 years, one in five…
