causing agents of Colorado tick fever in North America, which has been isolated from patients with encephalitis, flulike syndromes, meningitis, and other severe complications. The main vector for the Coltivirus in North America is the Rocky Mountain Wood Tick, although the virus has also been isolated from mosquitoes, rodents, and humans. Coltivirus is a RNA virus, which means it has a ribonucleic acid genome. It exhibits a high frequency of RNA segment reassortment in its tick vector. Rodents and

The Role of the Watch in William Faulkner's A Rose for Emily Even the casual reader of William Faulkner will recognize the element of time as a crucial one in much of the writer's work, and the critical attention given to the subject of time in Faulkner most certainly fills many pages of criticism. A goodly number of those pages of criticism deal with the well-known short story, "A Rose for Emily." Several scholars, most notably Paul McGlynn, have worked to untangle the confusing chronology

infection that can be found in Deer ticks. The disease starts after an infected tick expels its salivary gland and abdominal contents into the skin of a human. In about 60-70% of cases, a rash may develop at the site of the tick bite. This rash is most often circular with a clear edge, but oblong and other shaped rashes may occur as well in response to the tick bite. This rash is known as erythema migrans or EM. This rash usually starts about 3-30 days after the tick bite. Sometimes this rash is

primarily transmitted by lxodes ticks or deer ticks. The disease is caused by a bacterium called Borrelia burgdoferi. Lyme is named “The Great Imitator,” as its symptoms mimic other disease that affect the brain and nervous system, muscles and joints, and the heart. How do People Get Lyme Disease? Lyme Disease is spread through the bite of a tick. Due to its size, many people do not realize they have been bitten because most are as tiny as a poppy seed. Once the tick has attached to its host, it will

As the weather gets nicer, more and more people are starting to spend time outdoors, and bug bites can become a big problem during the warmer months. Most often, bites from numerous types of bugs happen before you realize the bug was even on your body. By then, it's too late to prevent the bug from attacking and the bites show up as inflamed, itchy circles on the skin. Some bug bites are even threatening to your health and must be treated by a medical professional. But, fortunately, many common bug

Genetics at the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School located in Newark. Her primary field of research and study lies in infectious diseases such as Lyme Disease. Lyme Disease is caused by deer ticks which have three developmental stages of larva, nymph, and adult. The nymph is the main developmental stage were the tick can take the blood from in organism and transmit pathogens into its bloodstream leading to infections. The main and causative pathogen given in cases of Lyme Disease is known as Borrelia

organism moving by minute contractions of small contractile fibrils organelles unlike many other Protozoa moving by locomotion. The disease occurs primarily in animals; however, in rare cases, the infection may occur in humans when the nymph black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis) attach to a person from vegetation close to ground level and climb up on the host to find a place to bite. In addition to that, the vector needs to be attached to the host for at least 24 hours to transmit the disease. This tiny

What is Lyme disease? Lyme disease is classified as a zoonosis, a disease that is spread from animals to humans. Humans acquire this disease through the bite of contaminated deer ticks. The tick contracts different kinds of Borrelia bacteria by feeding on deer and mice. Any human that the tick bites afterwards may be

became almost lifeless laying on the couch all day. The pain she lived through every day showed in her eyes. All of the pain came from a single source: lyme disease. Lyme disease is a when borrelia burgdorferi infects the body’s immune system, via deer tick bites (Halperin, pg. 1). First discovered in 1977, lyme disease has become one of the most significant vector- borne diseases in America. (Fuller, pg. 132). By 2002, more than 23,000 cases have been reported (Fuller, pg. 132). Even though the number

transmitted through the the bite of a tick carrying the borellia burgdorfei bacteria, meaning that it is an anthropozoonotic disease because it is transferred from animals to humans. Note that the only type of tick that can transmit lyme disease is the Blacklegged tick, often known as the deer tick. Let’s take a look at how lyme disease is transmitted in more detail. Firstly, the tick finds a spot on an animal (such as a deer) to feed on, and inserts its feeding tube. The tick often releases a substance that
