      The symptoms of typhoid
  • What is typhoid fever? Typhoid fever is a disease that is caused by the bacteria Salmonella Typhi. This illness is common in many countries of the world. Most cases diagnosed in the U.S. are actually acquired during travel to other countries. Note: typhoid fever should not be confused with the usually milder illness (salmonellosis) caused by Salmonella Typhimurium.

  • Rapid Worldwide SpreadWhen a pandemic flu virus emerges, expect it to spread around the world.You should prepare for a pandemic flu as if the entire world population is susceptible.Countries may try to delay the pandemic flu’s arrival through border closings and travel restrictions, but they cannot stop it.Overloaded Health Care Systems
  • Most people have little or no immunity to a pandemic virus. Infection and illness rates soar. A substantial percentage of the world’s population will require some form of medical care.Nations are unlikely to have the staff, facilities, equipment, and hospital beds needed to cope with the number of people who get the pandemic flu.Death rates may be high. Four factors largely determine the death toll:The number of people who become infectedThe strength of the virusThe underlying characteristics and vulnerability of affected populationsThe effectiveness of preventive measures

    Bubonic plague is not usually spread from person to person. Small rodents, such as rats, mice and squirrels, carry the infection. Fleas that live on these animals act as "vectors" and carry the infection from the rodent to humans. People may get exposed to the bacteria from flea bites or from direct contact with an infected animal. During the "Black Death," many people became sick with pneumonia from Yersinia pestis (called "pneumonic plague") and spread the disease bacteria to each other by coughing and sneezing.

  • s. Chief among them was plague. Estimates suggest that up to half of Europe’s already weakened population was wiped out by devastating epidemics, including the infamous Black Death that began in 1347 and the Great Plague of London in 1665, when people died so quickly that bodies piled up on the sidewalks.

  • The result: 9,600 people came down with smallpox in 1885 in the administrative territory of Montréal, and 3,234 of them died. Out of a total population of about 167,000, some 2% of Montrealers perished. That’s not to mention the victims in neighbouring municipalities, including the village of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, where the smallpox epidemic was most deadly.

Cholera Disease History

  • Meanwhile, Koch’s work was interrupted by an outbreak of cholera in Egypt and the danger of its transmission to Europe. As a member of a German government commission, Koch went to Egypt to investigate the disease. Although he soon had reason to suspect a particular comma-shaped bacterium (vibrio) as the cause of cholera, the epidemic ended before he was able to confirm his hypothesis. Nevertheless, he raised awareness of amebic dysentery and differentiated two varieties of Egyptian conjunctivitis. Proceeding to India, where cholera is endemic, he completed his task, identifying both the organism responsible for the disease and its transmission via drinking water, food, and clothing.

  • Many British physicians investigated the epidemiology of cholera. The first cholera epidemic in London occurred in 1831–32, when Snow was still learning his craft.
  • It was not until the causative organism, Vibrio cholerae (initially discovered in 1854), was well characterized in the 1880s that the debate was decided in favour of germ theory.

  • Cholera is spread when people eat food or drink water that has been contaminated with the cholera bacterium. Shellfish and other seafood, especially if eaten raw, are a frequent culprit in this illness. Other foods that commonly transmit cholera are fruits and vegetables that are grown in contaminated soil or washed in contaminated water. Cholera frequently occurs in countries that do not have modern facilities for treating water before people can drink it or wash with it.

      this is the transmission of the disease 
  • Yellow fever virus is an RNA virus that belongs to the genus Flavivirus. It is related to West Nile, St. Louis encephalitis, and Japanese encephalitis viruses. Yellow fever virus is transmitted to humans primarily through the bite of infected Aedes or Haemagogus species mosquitoes. Mosquitoes acquire the virus by feeding on infected primates (human or non-human) and then can transmit the virus to other primates (human or non-human). Humans infected with yellow fever virus are infectious to mosquitoes shortly before the onset of fever and for 3–5 days after onset.

Cholera Symptoms Diseases

shared by Chad Davidson on 16 Apr 14 - No Cached
  • Diarrhea. Cholera-related diarrhea comes on suddenly and may quickly cause dangerous fluid loss — as much as a quart (about 1 liter) an hour. Diarrhea due to cholera often has a pale, milky appearance that resembles water in which rice has been rinsed (rice-water stool). Nausea and vomiting. Occurring especially in the early stages of cholera, vomiting may persist for hours at a time. Dehydration. Dehydration can develop within hours after the onset of cholera symptoms. Depending on how many body fluids have been lost, dehydration can range from mild to severe. A loss of 10 percent or more of total body weight indicates severe dehydration.
  • An electrolyte imbalance can lead to serious signs and symptoms such as: Muscle cramps. These result from the rapid loss of salts such as sodium, chloride and potassium. Shock. This is one of the most serious complications of dehydration. It occurs when low blood volume causes a drop in blood pressure and a drop in the amount of oxygen in your body. If untreated, severe hypovolemic shock can cause death in a matter of minutes.
  • In general, children with cholera have the same signs and symptoms adults do, but they are particularly susceptible to low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) due to fluid loss, which may cause: An altered state of consciousness Seizures Coma
