Pros And Cons Of Hantavirus

consists of two types; HSV1 and HSV-2, both of which infect humans and are easily

The Iowa Department of Public Health has confirmed a rare case of disease caused by the Jamestown Canyon virus. In addition, there are two cases has been reported to the Iowa’s Health Department about West Nile Virus, which is also an illness spread by mosquitoes, along with Jamestown Canyon virus. According to the author, people who are infected by these two viruses will experience: “fever, headache, and flulike illness.” Luckily, however, “the patients who had Jamestown Canyon virus and West Nile virus are slowly recovering.”

When Gizmo arrived at the clinic, he could barely stand up. He was also having trouble breathing. The team at the clinic worked on Gizmo constantly. He received constant blood transfusions and antibiotics. The veterinary team also put Gizmo on a special diet.

Introduction: Over time we come to realize a lot of things we have to live life with right under our nose and right at our door step. one of the worst and on going things we have to deal with are Viruses. there are a wide range of different types of viruses, from ones that can kill you ,to ones that we don't even know we have, some are contagious , and some are not, and also the dreaded air borne viruses. One virus that is not commonly mentioned is Valley Fever.

It is a virus that desecrates immune systems and can slowly creep upon its victim due to its potential ten year incubation period. You might contract the disease and not even know it. The virus kills by destroying all your disease fighting T cells, leaving your body powerless to foreign pathogens that we are surrounded by everyday.

The Sin Nombre virus is found in deer mice, common in the Southwestern part of the United States. This virus is not new to the area but the particular strain that caused the outbreak in 1993 was a new strain to the area. The Native Americans in the area have remedies for the virus. The best method for containing the outbreaks is to prevent contamination from the mice. Mice are scavengers that feed on what they can find including grains. Since 1993 there have been no outbreaks of the hantavirus but several people a year are infected and half of the infected people die from pulmonary complications.

Pandemics have been recorded throughout history taking the life of virtually anything in its path. A pandemic is defined as a widespread disease crossing international borders with a high death count. The first ever recorded pandemic was The Peloponnesian War Pestilence. The Peloponnesian War Pestilence is dated to be around the years 430 B.C.E. It took place during the Peloponnesian War between Sparta and Athens, this excessive pestilence killed an estimation of over 30,000 of Athens’s citizens. The most recent pandemic record was the Influenza AH1N1 virus strain in 2009. The H1N1 virus was later globally spread taking 17,000 lives by August 2010 when it was officially declared to be over. Pandemics have been

An outbreak of HPS in The Four Corners area of the southwestern United States occurred when a Navajo man, who was healthy previously, became ill with symptoms of shortness of breath and died very rapidly. The man’s fiancée died a few days earlier with the same symptoms. Dr. James Cheek of the Indian Health Service stated: “"I think if it hadn't been for that initial pair of people that became sick within a week of each other, we never would have discovered the illness at all".

Patients like Eddie Bacon, who lost so much to the disease and still manage to live a happy life are

​The origin of the disease has been described at the end of the movie where we find out that a bat with a virus known as paramyxovirus that infects a pig. The pigs that are for human consumption were located near a forest that was being cut down. The pig in turn infects human beings of the earth through a chef. The agent which is very infectious is known as MEV-1 and its potential spread is estimated at 6-7 which suggests that the virus is highly transmissible from one person to the next. The virus has been compared to that of a smallpox virus with a mortality rate of up to 30%.

The clinical features of both HFRS and HCPS are directly related to the pathophysiology of the hantaviruses, which preferentially infect the endothelial cells. Endothelial cells in the renal and pulmonary microvasculature are the principle targets in HFRS and HCPS, respectively. Damage to the microvasculature causes capillary leak, fluid extravasation and eventually organ failure. It has been suggested that immune mechanisms rather than direct viral cytopathic effects are responsible for the capillary leakage seen in both HFRS and HCPS. However, more recent evidence suggests that a virus-cell interaction, and an inhibiting interferon type 1 response may also play a role.

The fastest communication of the virus to humans were reported in turkey. Simultaneously, 1.5 million birds were killed to contain the virus. The symptoms of such a disease that the temperature of your body dramatically starts to increase followed by a cough. Then the host (humans) starts to experience a difficulty in breathing and a severe pain in the stomach most of it ends with diarrhea – a disease happens when our digestive system are not able any more to absorb liquids and minerals. A further exposure to the virus can lead to shock, the respiratory system stop working completely, and the other vital organs like liver fail to function normally and eventually death may occur.

A number of studies have supported the theory that the virus had originally occurred in animals previous to human infections.5 The MERs-CoV virus is a type of coronavirus that has been known for infecting both birds and many species of mammals. These types of infections are commonly referred to as zoonotic diseases because the pathogens are able to be transferred from animals to humans. Zoonosis can happen with or without a vector in order to spread the infection. Although the exact origin of the MERs-CoV infections is unknown, there has been convincing research performed that has found related types of coronaviruses in bats and camels. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the coronavirus is found in multiple species and can cause respiratory illness and gastrointestinal upset.

Hanta virus is a dangerous and often deadly disease that must be guarded against. If proper precautions are not taken, hanta virus could lead to a nationwide outbreak causing many deaths. While there are a few cases of hanta virus reported each year, the consequences of coming down with the disease dictates that the U.S. set up certain safeguards to educate the population on how to protect themselves. Even though research is being done on hanta virus and its related illnesses, there persist many unanswered questions.

Respiratory symptoms of this virus can be fever, cough, shortness of breath, and pneumonia. Patients can also have gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea. If the patient becomes severely ill, they may have a respiratory failure and would be placed on a respirator or a ventilator. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) website, "Approximately 27% of patients with MERS have died." The organization also claims that the virus causes a severer disease in the elderly, people with a weak immune system, and people that may gave a chronic disease.
