Zoonosis

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease, caused by the bacteria genus Leptospira, that can cause a variety of symptoms and which, untreated, may lead to meningitis, kidney damage, or even death (“Leptospirosis”). Leptospires, bacteria of the genus Leptospira, appear as tightly coiled spirals and achieve optimal growth at 28-30°C, thriving in warm and humid regions. However, because most tropical, humid countries are also developing counties, chances of exposure are greater in those areas (Levett). Prevalent in Ecuador, New Guinea, and Guyana (see Figure 1), each with over 100 cases per 100,000 people, leptospirosis is a growing afflication in many Latin American, African, and Asian countries. (Greenwood). While no governmental organizations exist to monitor leptospirosis exclusively, there are many programs and prevention protocols in place to monitor its progress and protect nation’ citizens. II. Disease: description, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment The bacteria that causes leptospirosis resides in many animal reservoirs that often come in close contact with humans, including cattle, pigs, horses, dogs, rodents, and other wild animals (“Infection”). However, when infected, the animals may prove asymptomatic, and thereby continue to infect water, soil, and food with without rousing notice. Humans contract leptospirosis through contact with the urine or other bodily fluids (except saliva) of infected animals or through contact with water, soil, or food that has been…

understand both human and animal medicine. It is also important to understand ecology, sociology, and evolution. One reason idea one health perspective considers a wide range of variable including the change in environment and its effect on pathogens another idea to combat zoonoses the collaboration between ecologists and clinicians for early detection of diseases also if public health and scientists using epidemiology techniques collaborate with disease ecologist who work animals this might…

Nonetheless, there is no unmistakable refinement between them on account of the zoonotic parasites which can possibly taint both man and creatures, along these lines influencing the strength of both classes. A decent case of a zoonosis is echinoccocosis. The disease in the puppy is created by grown-up Echinococcus granulosus and is typically not exceptionally destructive to the canine. In people, in any case, echinoccocosis is brought on by the metacestode of E. granulosus known as hydatid…

Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) CITES is an international agreement between governments. Its aim1 is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. CITES is used to control the trade of endangered or protected species, it controls the import or export to third countries of dead or living controlled species as well as different parts of the animal such as; skin, fur, teeth or…

the head of microbiology at a university in Malaysia worked with Hume Field, whom found that bats were the reservoir hosts of Hendra, to find the source of Nipah. Together, they found that pigs were amplifier hosts and that flying foxes were the reservoir hosts. There are two types of HIV, 1 and 2. HIV-1 is the one that can develop into AIDS and is the one responsible for the millions of death all over the world. HIV-2 is still deadly, but is least likely to develop into AIDS. In its early…

Geographic Expansion of Lyme Disease 2015 In August 2015, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published volume 21-8 of its journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases (EIFD) on www.nc.cdc.gov. It contained a study by Dr. Kugeler, “an epidemiologist with the Division of Vector-Borne Diseases, Bacterial Diseases Branch, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA.” (Dr. Kugeler, CDC, 2015) In this study titled, “Geographic Distribution and Expansion of…

Ammonia happen when it is high concentrations in air , it can cause lung damage or blindness due to immediate burning of the eyes. D. Escaped mink on residential neighbor, provide constant threat of transmission of viral and bacterial diseases, fungal infections, parasites to wildlife and in some cases to humans (zoonosis). (Transition : Lastly, there are way to prevent this from happen) III. There are few ways you can do to help stop the killing of animals for their fur. A. Don’t buy fur 1.…

the chance to produce antibodies against trypanosome glycoproteins, the parasite changes its surface antigens so that the host now sees it as a new pathogen, and needs to produce new antibodies yet again. While this process is occurring, the parasites are able to proliferate, and the host’s immune system is not able to catch up and get rid of the parasite. An additional challenge with regards to this high degree of antigenic variation is in creating a vaccine, or rather the unlikeliness of…

that the environment conditions could affect a person health and well-being. Also, the livestock hazards from a farm could increase the risk of diseases, death, or human injury. The problem was that Juan and Maria were not being precautions about the water they were drinking. Yes. They’d checked the water before moving in, but only after, the rural hog farm was build close to their home. Juan then waited till after Maria 3 miscarriages, to figure out the problems about the water. Moreover, the…

The microorganism can stay alive in the surroundings for extended periods of time because it’s resilient to environmental circumstances such as heat and pressure. It’s also resilient to several common disinfectants. Animals develop the disease from infested ticks. The microorganism can furthermore contaminate pets, including cats, dogs, and rabbits. “These animals transmit the bacteria through their urine, feces, milk, and birthing products-such as the placenta and amniotic fluid.” When these…
