Rabies

I believe that animal testing is the right thing to do. First of all, animals benefit from animals testing for animals and humans. Animals benefit from it because if there was no testing, millions of animals would die from rabies. It also benefits making medicine for rabies and for medicine for sickness like childhood leukemia. Finally, it helps find out why some animals are going extinct from Avian flu and other sicknesses that animals and humans can get. So animal testing just keeps…

disease or may modify the severity of disease. The first rabies immunization was given by Louis Pasteur to a child after he was bitten by a rabid dog. Subsequent to this, it has been found that, in people with uncompromised immune systems, four doses of rabies vaccine over 14 days, wound care, and treatment of the bite with rabies immune globulin, commenced as soon as possible after exposure, is effective in preventing the development of rabies in humans. Other examples include experimental…

Western Blot test. An ELISA test can be falsely positive for several reasons, including a patient's autoimmune disease, multiple pregnancies, blood transfusions, liver diseases, parental substance abuse, hemodialysis, or vaccinations for Hepatitis B, rabies, or influenza. Any of these conditions can stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies that cross-react with HIV antigens and produce a false positive. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), ELISA and the Western Blot test…

A scientist is a person who engagingly studies or has deep knowledge in the fields of science. The main fields of science include; Physics, biology, chemistry, geology, etc. which branch into other deeper subjects. Scientists contributed greatly in society that made us live the life we live today. There are many scientists who are not recognized enough for their scientific discoveries and influences. One scientist that I definitely believe that should be on the Science Hall of Fame is Louis…

arguments that Latour uses to showcase this relationship between science, society and nature include Pasteur’s vaccination of rabies and the rise of the hygiene movement. Overall, Latour interweaves many different types of examples in order to present a full picture of science and…

Janie returns to Eatonville and the townspeople what to know where she has been. She is now in her 40s, and she tells her story to her friend Pheoby Watson. Nanny, Janie’s grandmother, marries her to an older rich man named Logan Killicks, but she’s not in love him as he tries to make her work.

kids who are below the age of five are at higher risk than others. This disease first became known when a young girl had been taken to a hospital in Hamilton, Ontario, with what seemed to be a case of the rabies. Later on, after she had passed away, it was discovered that the illness was not rabies, but in fact it was polio (Explore). Back then, the medicals didn’t know whether or not the disease was contagious,…

1796. Jenner came to the conclusion that by infecting a child with cowpox, a mild form of smallpox, the body could build immunity to smallpox. This case is where vaccines first originated from and lead to other vaccine discoveries like the rabies vaccine. The rabies vaccine was later developed by, French Chemist Louis Pasteur. Pasteur was also the first to claim that germs and bacteria were the cause of human illness. The discovery of vaccines became a great contribution to the world and now…

This included my dog. On average, it costs $1,600 to take an animal to Hawaii. The Hawaiian islands have no rabies in any animals and in order to keep it that way, they have a policy in place where you have to quarantine your animal to ensure that they do not have any rabies. This is a very costly procedure. Not to mention you have to pay for airfare for your animal. With this procedure in mind, I began the long journey of babysitting for…

mongoose is a carrier of rabies. Rabies is a disease that affects the central nervous system. There is no cure and most of the time it is fatal. It is spread through contact with the saliva of an infected animal (americanhumane.org). Luckily, Hawaii is the only state that is rabies free and this is maintained up to date because of the current law which requires cats, dogs, and carnivores to complete a 120-day or 5-day-or-less rabies quarantine and the entire cost of the rabies quarantine program…
