Parvovirus

benefiting humans, it also benefits animals themselves. Animal testing has been crucial in helping animals improve their survivability or slowing down the process of natural selection. For example, animal testing has developed vaccines for rabies, canine parvovirus, distemper, and feline leukemia virus which kept animals away from fatal diseases. A journal of Nature Genetics states that, "stressed or crowded animals produce unreliable research results," and many other studies prove that animals…

Active Immunity Active immunity is acquired by the production of antibodies (humoral) against antigens, presented by pathogens. This can be categorised as either natural or acquired. The mode of natural methods was by direct contact with the pathogen and enduring the infection, leading to the antibody production by the immune system. This mode of immunity usually takes few days or weeks for initial response however lasts a lifelong. Along with antibody production, a memory of a portion of the…

about all the risks of not getting their animal vaccinated like how they could end up getting diseases that could really harm them or even cause death. I would tell them how puppies need to be vaccinated because they are at high risk to contract the parvovirus which rapidly attacks an animal’s cells and divides them. This virus mainly attacks the intestinal track but it can also attack the white blood cells which can damage the heart muscle and cause lifelong cardiac problem. I would also tell…

came from experimentation on chimpanzees. Animal experimentation is has it’s perks for the animal as well. If vaccines were not tested a lot of animals could’ve died from rabies, infectious hepatitis virus, anthrax, feline, leukemia, and canine parvovirus. Animal testing vivisection helped keep endangered species like California condor, Tarmarins of Brazil, and the Black footed Ferret from extinction. The federal Animal Welfare Act is in place also. There are strict rules and guidelines…

Some infections that I found online include but are not limited to: Bacterial vaginosis (BV), Cytomegalovirus, Listeriosis, Parvovirus B19 (fifth disease), and Toxoplasmosis. The infection that I found the most frightening is Group B strep (GBS). GBS, found in healthy women’s rectum and/or vagina, does not have any obvious symptoms and without the proper care this infection can…

In 1997,scientist joseph and charles vacanti, placed a cow's cartilage cell on the back of a living mouse. The scientists wanted to see if they could form a manufactured ear on the rodents back, and the results were amazing. Joseph and charles were able to fabricate a human ear on the mouse. Now, researchers are able to explore the possibility of growing human body parts on the people that don't have that certain part . animal research has been around for almost 150 years when physiology became…

Puppy Vaccination Schedule: When, What And Why Like most young animals, puppies are at risk of many illnesses and diseases, so it's vital that you get your puppy vaccinated (the so-called puppy shots) at a young age and that you follow the correct puppy vaccination schedule.

Abstract: Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a disease of unknown origin that affects the medium and small arteries of any organ. Isolated polyarteritis nodosa is a rare condition that may be triggered by local exposure to certain agents capable of provoking local immune stimulation without a systemic immune reaction. Symptomatic PAN confined to the testis is extremely rare. We report a case of isolated testicular PAN in hepatitis B infection with chronic unilateral testicular pain and successfully…

illnesses. People believe that animals do not benefit from the tests that are performed on them. (Should) Animals benefit from some of the tests. Scientists have discovered flea medicines. They have cured or help prevent feline leukemia, tetanus, canine parvovirus. Specific animal shampoos have been developed to help with animals skin and fur.…

Henrietta Lacks Ethical debates and dilemmas are common in healthcare today. The Henrietta Lacks story was no exception. Her cells were taken without her knowledge and used to form a HeLa cell line, which has been used extensively in medical research (Arts & Entertainment, {A & E}, 2017). The purpose of this paper is to inform others about the Henrietta Lacks story and how ethical issues are relevant to this case. The story of Henrietta Lack’s is quite fascinating. She was born on August 1,…
