test of lymph node aspirate, blood, or sputum, and while preliminary results can be ready within two hours, confirmation usually takes 24 to 48 hours (8). Because man becomes an accidental host of Yersinia pestis, the aftermath sometime results in pandemics

outcome can be devastating and horrifying. The Bubonic plague, also known as The Black Death, is one of the most well-known plagues in history. Between 1347 and 1353, Europe experienced a merciless outbreak of the plague and in just a few years, one third of the world’s population was struck down by the Black Death. Whether it is the many different symptoms, bizarre methods of treatment, or life after the plague, The Black Death, in all its morbid glory, is fascinating. The Black Death was the most

They may be small but they have an huge impact on an ecosystem. The recent invasion of rats has started to take over multiple parts of the world ruining crops and plants, carrying numerous diseases, and destroy property by chewing wires that can cause fires.

A 20-million-year-old flea, preserved in amber, is potentially holding an ancestral strain of the Black Death, one of the world’s deadliest pandemics in human history. The infamous plague claimed the lives of 75-200 million people before peaking in Europe during the mid-14th century. According to researchers in a new study, now published in the Journal of Medical Entomology, the bacteria is believed to be an ancient strain of Yersinia pestis, a bacillus that was carried by fleas on rats. The bacteria

This essay discusses the Black Death, which was a fatal plague that killed millions of people across the world and how the Black Death was transmitted will be further explained in the essay. The Black Death disease commenced in China and it spread to Europe, which is also further explored. The long and short-term effects will be identified. There are three different known plagues that are known as the bubonic plague, pneumonic plague, and septicemic plague, but they were not all of them were transmitted

influenza virus (10), an influenza pandemic will remain a global emergency as extremely high number of people all over the world will require care at the same time (3). Since the global impact of pandemic varies across history, any expectation or prediction regarding the magnitude and impact of a new influenza pandemic will often be overestimated or underestimated (5, 6, 7, 11).

History’s Turning Points: The Black Death described what the Black Death (also commonly called the plague) was and how it spread. The Black Death was a deadly disease epidemic that occurred from 1348 to 1350. It started in Central Asia and eventually spread to Europe.

At this point in time, no one knew that the rats carried the disease

Today, Canadian’s lives today are as translucent as ever. Most organizations especially the government constantly watches each and every one of our moves.

Throughout the history, influenza viruses have caused several pandemics or global epidemics, killing many people. For example, the influenza strike in 1918 to 1919 infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide, which is one-third of the planet’s population at the time and killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million people. More than 25 percentage of the U.S. population were affected, and caused 675,000 deaths in U.S during the pandemic.(History, 2015). There were no effective treatments for this

The Black Death, the bubonic plague, we’ve all heard about the illness that wiped out one third of Europe's population. The first outbreak of this terrible disease started in China in the 1330’s, and spread quickly through the rats that carried the disease; as well as fleas. This terrible disease killed many people, and did not die out until the 1600’s. For a better perspective, about twenty-five million people were killed in a span of five years. We’ve all heard the childhood song, ‘Ring Around
