The incubation period of Salmonella is usually around six to seventy-two hours. The incubation period can be defined as the time between catching an infection and symptoms appearing. After this incubation period, the signs and symptoms appear, causing great discomfort. However, salmonella is not incurable. Because salmonella infection dehydrates the body, treatment is primarily focused on replacing fluids and electrolytes. Severe cases may require hospitalization and an intravenous (IV) to hydrate
Ebola Virus – A Bloody Killer The first doctor I saw told that it was malaria. Only in the special unit at the hospital I was diagnosed Ebola. I was isolated with other infected. None of us could sleep – we thought we would not make it to the morning. More and more people were dying and their bodies were wrapped and taken away and everything was happening in front of us. But then I started feeling better, step by step, and all symptoms gradually stopped. This was a powerful feeling when other doctors
Over the past few months, Ebola has captured global attention due to the mass amounts of media coverage swarming the topic. While the general public might believe this recent pandemic to be the first of its kind, there have been several reported cases of the Ebola virus disease that date back to 1976 in the Democratic Republic of Congo. One contested issue that emerges from the current outbreak of the Ebola virus disease in West Africa is the treatment of healthcare workers who are returning to the
Eyes Were Watching God, Hurston gave Janie's husband, Tea Cake, great characteristics of having contracted the disease. Some of the characteristics that were shown in the novel were Tea Cake gagging when drinking liquids, bad headaches and the time period it took for the symptoms of rabies to finally show up. Tea Cake in Their Eyes Were Watching God, could not swallow liquids without disgorging his contents. "Tea Cake took it and filled his mouth then gagged horribly, disgorged that which was in his
Over the past few months, Ebola has captured global attention due to the mass amounts of media coverage swarming the topic. As a result of this sudden outburst of attention to Ebola, the general public might believe this recent pandemic to be the first of its kind: however, there have been several reported cases of the Ebola virus disease that date back to 1976 in the Democratic Republic of Congo. One contested issue that emerges from the current outbreak of the Ebola virus disease in West Africa
culture and 0.5 mL of 10X tryptic soy broth. The mixture will be incubate for about 24 to 48 hours at 37oC. During this incubation period, we expect phage in water sample will be able to bind to Salmonella. The phage also will replicate and lyse the bacteria. Therefore, the significance of this step is to amplify the phage that can infect the Salmonella. After the incubation period, the tube will be centrifuge using table top centrifuge machine for 10 minutes at 2500 rpm. Centrifuging process should
Emerging diseases have been a threat to humanity for centuries. The many technological advances have allowed scientists to discover the ways, in which these diseases can be controlled and, in some cases, eradicated. By definition, emerging diseases are those diseases that have emerged on specific geographical locations where they were not recorded previously, or diseases that already exist on a specific geographical area but are rapidly spreading throughout a population (Jorge R. Ray, 2015). There
When you think of the disease Ebola most people become unnerved because how contagious this disease is. The Ebola outbreak is in many countries but it originated from West Africa were animals such as monkeys carried the deadly virus that humans contracted and the virus is killing humans daily. The infection rate is raising daily along over three thousand deaths from the disease (Central Disease Control). The main argument I am making is should Americans who travel outside of the United States be
The Ebola virus originated in the depths of the Democratic Republic of the Congo along the Ebola River. Little else is known about its origin but researchers believe that it was first transmitted from a non-human primate or bat. The virus can be contracted several ways including direct contact and contact with infected blood or bodily fluid. It is easy as accidently touching infected saliva or changing a Band-Aid on an infected person. Symptoms of the virus can range greatly but fever, headache
Epidemiological Determinants The Measles starts with a fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes, and sore throat. It is then followed by a rash that spreads over the body, starting first on the face along the hairline. The infectious period of measles is 4 days before rash onset through 4 days after rash onset. The measles are a highly contagious virus that lives in the nose and throat mucus and spreads through the air through coughing and sneezing. (WHO, 2016). The measles virus can remain airborne
Spanish Influenza Outbreak, 1918 In the midst of perfect health, in a circumscribed community... the first case of influenza would occur, and then within the next few hours or days a large proportion- and occasionally every single individual of that community- would be stricken down with the same type of febrile illness, the rate of spread from one to another being remarkable... Barrack rooms which the day before had been full of bustle and life, would now converted wholesale into one great
The Spanish Flu in Remission For many it appears like there is finally reason to take a deep sigh of relief. The deadly Spanish Flu, now believed to have begun on the battlefields and in the military hospitals of the war, appears to be in remission. In the previous two days the death tolls has gone from 302 down to 269, and it today reached a remarkable low of only 17. Still the business men's advisory committee and our local Health Commission say that we must "keep up the fight so long as
Ebola, a virus that is spreading very quickly and has now found its way into the United States. The U.S. government has taken a few precautions in order to not let the virus spread any further. Ebola has caused some panic in people and demand for the people who are infected to be placed under quarantine. I believe that these individuals should be placed under quarantine because they should not be set free to interact with others. The individuals also should not be treated poorly due to the fact
How can we better treat this viral disease to stop it now and to prevent it in the future? The extreme virulence of Ebola can be attributed to the numerous immunoevasion mechanisms it employs: an early inhibition of innate immunity started by the downregulation of Type I interferon, viral epitope masking, and viral subversion of the new host’s adaptive humoural immunity by expressing copious amounts of secreted GPs, a truncated form of the viral glycoprotein (Wong et al., 2014). Suppressing these
The spread of the Ebola virus that has infamously swept across the media and the ears of many in recent months, is the response to the drastic sub-Saharan outbreak in three nations: Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. There have been further cases of contracted patients in neighboring cities and countries, but not near the magnitude of the three countries housing the epicenter. Fear of the deadly virus has plagued the American people since breaking news in August. The danger the virus presents
Imagine a country where you could share a drink with someone and catch a virus that gives you a higher chance of dying than survival, a country where everyone is in fear of being in public, and nurses are in fear of coming into work. Many issues and questions concern the problem of Ebola in our society. The issue that is the focus of this paper is how to prevent Ebola from spreading across the country and becoming a bigger problem than it already is now. There are steps we must take to defeat Ebola
Ebola has been going around in the media for quite some time now. People are wondering if they should fear it or if the U.S has it under control. This disease is not a new disease, it's just been getting spread more now and is getting spread rapidly. Ebola has been out there for about 40 years in small places, it is a deadly disease and there are also plenty symptoms to this infection called Ebola. Ebola is spreading more and more every day and more people are dying because of this disease. Over
Ebola Many things come to mind when someone mentions the word “disease”, fascination, horror, safety, risk. However, nothing produces as much emotion as the word “Ebola”. Ebola sends chills down spines, and spikes fear in minds. With proper understanding, the virus doesn’t instill fear, but provokes curiosity and motivation to help. Ebola is a deadly disease, West Africa endured a widespread outbreak of Ebola in 2014, and it is currently being researched to treat those who contract the virus.
Introduction There are currently 40 emerging infectious diseases, that are at risk of spreading from country to country, due to the increase of people traveling. Diseases like Ebola and the Zika virus pose a global threat due to the possible rapid rate of transmission from human-to-human, that occurs with exposure to someone who is symptomatic and seropositive (World Health Organization, 2016-a). When there is an infectious disease breakout, public health practitioners and physicians, must make
Did you know that the Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal illness in humans? (Ebola virus disease, 2016). Although, Ebola may not be seen in the United States much, many cases have been seen in Africa effecting thousands. There are many effects that are caused by Ebola, mainly in West Africa. Unexplained bleeding or bruising, blocks the natural defenses of the human body, and even causes death. Ebola can easily be transmitted and must be
