Risks may rise or decline depending on species of animal and your geographical location. “Vaccines stimulate the immune system production of antibodies that will destroy disease causing organisms enter the body” (“Vaccinations” 1). These vaccines…

However, such an approach requires long-term transgene expression introducing concerns over insertional mutagenesis safety and oncogene activation in normal cells. Other approaches include oncolytic herpes simplex and oncolytic parvovirus. However, the oncolytic parvovirus approach does not invoke pathogenicity while in oncolytic herpes simplex it can be used to selectively destroy and replicate cancerous cells. This is based on its tropism to cancer. By design oncolytic viruses aim to deliver…

Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that result in weakened construction of an organ and poor blood pumping ability. The disease progresses the heart is getting bigger than a normal, one or more valves may leak.

States as rubella, it is one form of the measles virus. Generally a mild febrile viral disease it is identified by its maculopapular rash. Rubella can be difficult to diagnose due to symptoms similar to that of dengue, scarlet fever, measles, parvovirus, and the herpes 6 virus amongst others. Children often times do not present symptoms, which is very dangerous and a community health concern. Adults however will present with a mild grade temperature, headache, conjunctivitis, malaise or…

With all the new diseases and illnesses, the need for new and effective drugs is prevalent now more than ever. There can be no chances taken when the health and safety of our population is at risk. Therefore, some drug companies test their medicines on animals before humans to which has saved human lives and to help animals themselves. This practice should continue to make sure humans are healthy and have proper treatments for their illnesses. For example, according to the US-based,…

Animals have the ability to save millions of people and other animals if given the chance, but yet people are against this, they are against animal testing. Most people, the public, do not see the benefits of animal testing as they’re instead focused on the negatives. However, animal testing has been very beneficial for scientific and medical breakthroughs. For the past 100 years, animal testing has been taking place, and for 100 years animal testing was vital for the health of society. Animal…
