The differential diagnosis includes those agents that cause necrotizing bronchiolitis, pneumonia, and intranuclear viral inclusions, particularly herpes simplex viruses, varicella-zoster virus, and cytomegalovirus. Histologic clues to distinguish these agents from adenovirus include the presence (herpes simplex ...
In cheetah, the captive population has historically been beset by multiple degenerative and infectious diseases that have had an impact on cheetah health and breeding programs. In contrast, the free-ranging population has been relatively free of these same diseases. Although research into feline infect...
1. It is found mainly in Latin America, where it is mostly transmitted to humans by the faeces of triatomine bugs (2). This disease can cause death from myocarditis or meningoencephallitis during its acute phase, in less than 5-10 % of symptomatic cases. The evolution for the chronic...
The pulmonary manifestations of COVID-19 have been well described in the literature. Two similar human coronaviruses that cause Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-1) are known to cause disease in the central and peripheral nervous systems. ...
years of divergent mammalian evolution that separate rodents, carnivores, herbivores and primates including humans. This argues that in the context of CNS disorders, that shaped glial responses during evolution, such as responses to microbial infections and traumatic injury, astrocyte reactivity exerts ...
”43,44Adapting a One Health/Planetary Health approach to combat emerging/re-emerging infectious diseases focuses attention on a key weakness of current prevention, preparedness, and response discourse: preventing spillover events, which bring zoonotic diseases in close proximity to humans and ...
There are five main pathogenic species that affect humans:S. mansoni, S. japonicum, S. intercalatum, S. guineensisandS. mekongiwhich cause hepato-intestinal schistosomiasis andS. haematobiumwhich affect the uro-genital tract [11]. Moreover, hybrids between different species that are closely phyloge...
Infection of the human central nervous system leads to neurocysticercosis, which is considered to be the most frequent cause of acquired epilepsy and seizures worldwide. At least 30 million people have symptomatic neurocysticercosis, with 50,000 deaths recorded each year [73, 74]....
Ticks are parasites that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They can spread disease when they bite. What ticks carry Lyme disease? Blacklegged ticks carry the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. These ticks live in the northeastern, mid-Atlantic, and north-central U.S. ...
Cows can get mad cow by eating feed made from the bodies of infected cattle, and humans get a mad cow variant by eating contaminated beef. The human variant progresses rapidly, destroying brain cells, causing dementia, memory loss, hallucinations, personality changes, seizures, and ultimately ...
