In this paper, I will discuss the bacteria that causes typhoid fever, discuss the signs, symptoms, method of transmission, past and current epidemics, and whether or not there has been a decrease in
Introduction Dengue fever, also known as the “breakbone fever”, is a vector-borne viral disease endemic in tropic and subtropic regions, with around 100 million symptomatic new cases each year worldwide15. It is caused by any one of the four closely-related serotypes or viruses that is spread by multiple species of mosquitoes, in particular the Aedes aegypti 6,13.

Each of the dengue virus serotypes is capable of causing
officials later determined the cause to be Typhoid fever, a disease that dates back to early Victorian times. Although preventive measures can be taken, over 21.5 million people annually become infected with Typhoid fever. In particular, areas with poor sanitation of water report higher rates of this disease. Typhoid fever is spread through contaminated water sources, making underdeveloped countries vulnerable to the infection. The cause of Typhoid fever is Salmonella Typhi, a bacterium that can be found
infectious diseases such as scarlet fever and what he called "rheumatism of the heart". He noted that his patients were exhibiting acute pain, redness and swelling in one or more joints, subcutaneous nodules over the knee and elbow joints, an uncontrollable jerking or flailing of the limbs and in many cases, a "weakening of the heart."1 What he was describing has come to be known as Rheumatic Fever. However, the association between strep throat infections and rheumatic fever had not been made until the
Yellow Fever Outbreaks in Brazil Yellow Fever is a disease that is transmitted by infected mosquitos from person to person that is typically found in tropical and subtropical areas such as South America and Africa. Currently in Brazil, a Yellow Fever outbreak is one of the worst the country has ever seen. The disease is spreading rapidly in large cities such as Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. This rapid spread of Yellow Fever is threatening to become Brazil’s first epidemic since 1942. In order to
Exposing Gender Stereotypes in Roman Fever Definitive criteria for judging the success or failure of a work of fiction are not easily agreed upon; individuals almost necessarily introduce bias into any such attempt.

Give or take 500,000 individuals experience the ill effects of dengue fever and dengue stun syndrome with 20,000 passing are every year. Goal of this study was to investigate the danger components connected with the improvement of dengue fever.

Yellow Fever Yellow fever is a tropical viral disease affecting the liver and kidneys, causing fever and jaundice and often fatal. Yellow fever is not a common disease in the United States. On the contrary it is very common in other countries. I will be stating how it 's transmitted and where it originated. What are symptoms you may have and what specialist can diagnose you. Some treatments you can get and what measures to take to prevent this disease. Lastly I will talk about what countries are
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection that has a widespread incidence. There are four closely related virus strains that cause dengue that are known as DENV 1, DENV 2, DENV 3, and DENV 4. The virus is transmitted to humans indirectly by mosquitos, of which Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are the primary vectors. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is also recognized as the species that spreads other viral diseases such as chikungunya, yellow fever, and the Zika virus. Dengue has a pronounced
Rheumatic fever is a disease that can occur following bacterial infection with Group A Streptococcus.

Reed followed work started by Carlos Finlay and directed by George Miller Sternberg. The evolutionary origins of yellow fever lied in Africa, with transmission of the disease
