Lyme Regis

My research subject is Lyme disease. This is also known as Lyme Borreliosis or just Lyme for short. Lyme disease is an infectious disease of Borreliosis bacteria that is spread to humans via Ticks.  It is a bacterial infection caused by Borreliosis Burgdorferi, a type of bacterium called spirochete. Spirochetes are long, thin spiral shaped bacteria that wiggle and spin to propel through the bloodstream. Once in the circulatory system, Lyme can spread to other parts of the body and cause a variety

Technology has helped find cures and treatments for my Lyme Disease and my mother’s cancers. Technology is used to collect blood. It can measure speeds of the car and measure things that can’t be measured by normal tools. It is always advancing. It helps build your house, cars, and everything else that you

Tick Investigation Aim To describe the niche of a tick by; · Studying it anatomically · Describing it’s lifestyle · Describing it’s life cycle · Explaining how it has adapted · And what diseases it carries and spreads …………………………………………………………………………… An introduction to ticks [IMAGE] The tick is not an insect but is part of the arachnid family. Ticks are divided into two main families, soft ticks (Argasidae) and hard ticks (Ixodidae)

Ehrlichiosis and Anaplasmosis Ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis are diseases caused by bacteria and carried by ticks. Other names for these infections are: • Human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME). • Human granulocytotropic anaplasmosis (HGA). CAUSES These diseases are caused by a bite from an infected adult tick. RISK FACTORS These diseases are more likely to occur between late spring and early fall. This is when ticks are active. SYMPTOMS Many infected people have no symptoms. For those

19 Hookworm (Anclostoma Duodenale and Necator Americanus). Hookworm is another very important intestinal helminth that infects over seven hundred million people worldwide (CDC, 2016). The adult worms, like ascaris live in the intestine and shed their eggs in the faeces of infected person. Faecal contamination of the soil or the use of human excreta as fertilizer increases the chance of hook worm eggs to be deposited in the soil. The eggs when released into the soil hatch into the larvae

What’s going on? In recent news, there have been a large number of cases associated to Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) which have impacted a number of American Indian communities in Arizona. (CDC/IHS, Newsweek). According to conducted studies, those at greatest risk due to this emerging public health issue are American Indians within the US population. What is RMSF RMSF is caused by a bacterium called, Rickettsia rickettsiiand, which is transmitted through tick bites (CDC). After being bitten

Lyme disease is an infectious disease that is caused by bacteria. The common sign of this disease is that the infectious expanding area of redness begins at the tick bite about week after it been bite by the creature. Lyme disease can cause serious health issue in your body. Infected black legged tick can spread Lyme disease to humans through their bite. Ticks are very small and as their bite are usually painless In Canada there are two types of tick that are spread called: western lack legged

Tularemia Tularemia is a rare disease commonly passed to humans through a tick bite. The disease can be life threatening if it is not treated. CAUSES This condition is caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. People most often get this condition after being bitten by an infected tick. People can also get this condition after: Being bitten by another kind of insect, such as a mosquito or fly. Handling an infected animal. Animals most often infected include rabbits, squirrels, beavers

climate change, environmental diseases such as lyme disease have spread to first world countries. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection of the Borrelia burgdorferi spread by infected ticks (CDC, 2015). The blacklegged tick spreads the disease in the northeastern, mid-Atlantic, and north-central America, while the western blacklegged tick spreads the disease along the west coast (CDC, 2015). Since many of the ticks that are potential carriers of lyme are active during the summer months, they are more
