If vaccines for had not been tested on animals, millions of animals would have died from diseases such as tetanus, rabies, distemper, anthrax, infectious hepatitis virus, and Canine parvovirus. The Polio vaccine, tested on animals, reduced the global occurrence from 350,000 cases in 1988 to 27 cases in 2016. According to the California Biomedical Research Association, “Nearly every medical breakthrough in the past 100 years has resulted

provided to animals”(Guidry), this occasionally occurs with a very common virus the parvovirus. The parvovirus is a highly contagious viral illness that are very common in dogs and if not treated properly or caught at any early time ,can be fatal. In pets that acquire the illness, the treatment option is very expensive. At the Bath County Veterinary Clinic in Owingsville, Kentucky the typical cost of a parvovirus shot runs at “$13.25”(Warner) and pet owners already “do not want to pay but if they

Endangered animals like female wild dogs come together in captivity with males to be able to have babies. Wild dogs in captivity population growth have improved in now have more wild dogs packs. Six week babies sometimes get abandoned by their mother this happens many times in botswana. The babies can be dehydrated in cant even move but soon recover if the babies are keep in captivity they will be added to another den with other babies in a mother. In captivity the pack size can double the size

Additional laboratory workup included ANA, rheumatoid factor, viral hepatitis panel and HIV, VZV, HSV, adenovirus and parvovirus B19, which were unremarkable. The flow cytometry of the peripheral blood and bone marrow biopsy revealed no monoclonal lymphoid or plasma cell population. Blood smear examination and serology were negative for Ehrlichiosis or

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic, autosomal recessive disorder that is caused by mutations in the β-globulin gene. “The term sickle cell disease (SCD) describes a group of inherited red blood cell disorders. People with SCD have abnormal hemoglobin, called hemoglobin S or sicklehemoglobin, in their red blood cells.” (What Is Sickle Cell Disease? - NHLBI, NIH, n.d.). The disease is inherited whereas the recessive gene is passed by each parent to child. If only one gene is passed, they are considered

415 human pathogens, 61% are zoonotic and infect multiple animal species.4 This means out of the 1,415 pathogens 863 are zoonotic and can be passed to humans from animals. Some of the ways the emergence of pathogens occur are a mutation (canine parvovirus infection), climate change, invasive species, the introduction of a new species (intended or accidental), and biological products.4 Herd immunity protects people from meeting another person who has a disease by reducing the cases of disease.

the east side of the island. It is also important to remember that there are other factors, such as weather conditions and disease, which can greatly impact the inhabitants of the island. For instance, in the early 1980s an outbreak of canine parvovirus was unintentionally introduced to the wolf population and the wolves were drastically reduced from 50 to 14 in two years. Following this outbreak, the moose population soared to 2400, but in 1996 an extremely severe winter combined with an outbreak
