Avian Influenza is an infectious disease that is transmitted mostly by infected birds. This influenza has three types: A,B,C. The most fatal one is the type A. The virus first appearance was in migratory shore bird in Africa in 1960. Avian Flu was first discovered in humans in Hong Kong in 1997. By that time the virus was not known as a Bird Flu, so there were feared that the virus would sweep the community and kill many because another subtype of influenza swept around the world in 1918 (Davidson, 2011)
First, the Avian Flu is also transmitted to pigs, ferrets, horses, whales and seals. However, this disease is not spread among others species. The virus is present in protein sacks with a case of eight loosely connected genes. Moreover, there
Propaganda Hitler once said, “By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.” (“Nazi Propaganda” 1). Propaganda is simply someone trying to get others to believe that what they do is correct or reasonable. We see propaganda in our daily lives trying to convince us to follow along with what others are doing. The Nazis took over the media to communicate their ideas of the Jew and make others see the Germans, or “Aryans” as the superior race.
Avian influenza is a disease that has been wreaking havoc on human populations since the 16th century. With the recent outbreak in 1997 of a new H5N1 avian flu subtype, the world has begun preparing for a pandemic by looking upon its past affects. In the 20th Century, the world witnessed three pandemics in the years of 1918, 1957, and 1968. In 1918 no vaccine, antibiotic, or clear recognition of the disease was known. Killing over 40 million in less than a year, the H1N1 strain ingrained a deep and lasting fear of the virus throughout the world. Though 1957 and 1968 brought on milder pandemics, they still killed an estimated 3 million people and presented a new
By comparing recent flu strains with the 1918 influenza scientists found reasons to believe that the1918 influenza pandemic began as a bird virus. The bird virus would have adapted to humans overtime eventually becoming as deadly to humans as it had been to birds. Once the virus adapted to humans it was spread through the physicality of a handshake or hug which is highly common among humans.
Avian Influenza is a major controversy in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Many researchers have researched the outbreak and how it contributes to the world we live in. Avian Influenza impacts a variety of people, places, and animals in the world. The articles reviewed discuss the different cases where avian influenza outbreak has impacted a major area and how they are ridding the virus. The articles vary from how the virus affects humans, to how it affects other animals, and the precautions used by different areas if the virus encounters.
Influenza A is the worst of the three kinds. According to source 1, flu type A can infect animals, though it is more common among humans. Wild birds are common hosts. Influenza A2 is spread by people who are already infected. It can be spread by sneezing and coughing. Influenza A is the type of flu you get a shot for. It can cause epidemics and pandemics. This is important because we need to know why doctors
Wild birds are considered the reservoir of the type A influenza virus and antigenic shifts caused by mutations are present in many animal reservoir. Antigenic shifts are dangerous because it can be unaffected by the host’s immune system. Pigs can be infected by both human and animal influenza virus, which may lead to recombination and creation of new strains that can be transmitted. Influenza virus can be transmitted from animal to human in cases such as the bird flu (H5N1) or swine flu (H1N1), which experienced an outbreak in
Influenza A is a virus also known as type A flu. The virus is capable of infecting animals and human beings. However, it is more common for humans to suffer the ailments associated with this type of flu. This type of virus is generally responsible for a large outbreak of the flu epidemic. More specifically, influenza is a contagious respiratory infection, which is caused by a variety of viruses.
Influenza (flu) is an infectious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. There are two primary types of influenza viruses: type A and B. Both Influenza viruses commonly spread during the flu season. Flu season is unpredictable, but is typically starts in October and ends May. Influenza occurrences are generally at its peak between December and February. Cases recorded of influenza are mild illnesses to life threatening trips to the hospital.
The virus mainly replicates in the respiratory tract and is spread by respiratory secretions. Birds acquired this disease from saliva, feces and nasal secretions from infected birds. People catch bird flu by close contact with birds or bird droppings. Exactly what "close contact" means differs from culture to culture.Some people have caught Avian flu from cleaning or plucking infected birds. In China, there have been reports of infection via inhalation of aerosolized materials in live bird markets. It's also possible that some people were infected after swimming or bathing in water contaminated with the droppings and feces of infected birds. H5N1 is the most common form of bird flu. It’s deadly to birds, and can easily affect humans and other animals that come in contact with a carrier. According to the World Health Organization, H5N1 was first discovered in humans in 1997, and has killed nearly 60 percent of those infected. The Avian Flu symptoms can be diarrhea, cough, respiratory difficulties, fever(over 100.4°F), headache, muscle aches, malaise, runny nose, sore throat and death. Birds that were infected and died still contributed to the spread of this disease by organisms coming in contact with the dead body and getting the germs from contact via touching dead infected
WW1 was a very gruesome and deadly war. As over 16 million people would die in total while another 20 million would be wounded. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary would be the event that would spark this terrible war and would change history forever. Although that was the spark, There were 3 far more important causes. Those 3 causes would be Militarism, Nationalism, and Alliances.
The Avian Influenza virus also known as Bird flu is a disease that infects birds such as, chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese. Symptoms of the infection are respiratory disease, unable to produce eggs, and fatality. Usually the symptoms are unnoticeable. There are two main types of Asian Influenza is LPAI and HPAI. LPAI is low pathogenicity meaning birds are not as likely to die from the virus. HPAI H5 is highly pathogenic, more severe and has a higher mortality rate. Outbreaks of this disease started in Europe and Asian. In 2015 there has been reports that AI has infected poultry in the United States.
Avian Influenza is an infection generated by the avian influenza A viruses. It can occur naturally among birds. Both domestic and wild avian can acquire it. Wild birds worldwide contract influenza A infections in their intestines, but usually don’t get sick. However, it’s exceedingly contagious among birds, and some of the viruses can make them immensely sick and kill them.
Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1, is a single strand negative sense influenza A virus that causes disease in birds, humans, and various other animals. It was first discovered in Hong Kong in 1996 after an outbreak among geese that caused high mortality rates. In 1997 the first human cases were detected. Out of 18 confirmed cases, 6 people died, causing global concern (Petsko, 2005). After a brief period in which the virus seemed to dissipate, it re-emerged in 2003 affecting poultry and wild birds in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. Since 2003 it has caused more than 700 human cases in more than 15 different countries, with the largest outbreaks occurring in Vietnam and Egypt. Currently, H5N1 affects birds in more
Avian Influenza is a disease that is rare for humans to get. It was discovered in 1878 in Italy, then the next outbreak was in the United States in 1924 and 1929. There was a total of two people were infected with this disease. In 1955, the virus once known as Fowl Plague was actually an influenza virus. Avian means relating to birds, this is how the disease got its name. In order to fully understand Avian Influenza, one must look at the causes, symptoms, and treatments of the disease.
Justice can be defined in multiple ways. Plato’s Republic has very interesting and perhaps somewhat controversial definitions of justice. One of these definitions of justice is from Polemarchus’ interpretation of Simonides’ idea with some modification as the story goes on. According to Polemarchus, justice can be defined as doing good to friends and harm to enemies. (332 d 5 - 7). Below, we will observe the working definition of what justice means in relation to friends v.s. enemies, examine all aspects of the argument, explore Polemarchus’ example of a scenario(s) where this definition of justice applies, and observe a counterargument to Polemarchus’ argument coined by Socrates and what exactly that means for individuals and cities. It is
