Some examples come to mind; birth deficits, childhood cancer, mental illness, malaria, natural disasters, AIDs, bubonic plague, small pox,
typhus, etc, etc,...
And then I gave Adam syphillis, cholera,
typhus, leprosy, rabies, malaria, and tuberculosis all simultaneously, because I'm a real ass... and I needed a human vector for some of these historic diseases.
Among them were prolonged starvation and exposure; being worked beyond my endurance and strength; every cut and bruise turning into festering wounds accompanied by high fever; diphtheria, dysentery, hepatitis, and a bout with
typhus that very nearly killed me.
Even mountains of corpses and emaciated, half - dead survivors prove nothing for the deniers, who say simply that these are unfortunate victims of
typhus or cholera epidemics.
After we finished the last pages of The Diary of Anne Frank in middle school, Mrs. Kelly informed the class that Anne and her sister died of
typhus in a prison camp, thanks to Adolf Hitler.
Probably half a billion people are alive now who would be dead except for the use of DDT to eradicate malaria,
typhus, and other epidemic scourges in the poorer countries.
In previous times, people used to let their infants die, often of
typhus or other bad things.
-- Chillies are used as medicine in
typhus and intermittent fevers and in dropsy; they are regarded as stomachic and rubefacient.
Not even an apple tree a day could prevent Max from contracting
typhus at age seven.
In studies performed by Dr. John Mainarich of Bio-Research Laboratories in Redmond, WA, samples of each of the common antimicrobials or sanitizing agents were evaluated for effectiveness against Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella
typhi, Streptococcus faecium and E. coli.
These individuals argued that a different organism, perhaps anthrax or
typhus, originally caused the Black Death.
The smell of plague has been compared with the odor of May flowers, and that of
typhus with a Cossack.
Other wild animal disease donors include rats, the source of the plague and
typhus.
Four other members of the expedition had gotten sick, and all of them showed antibodies for North Asian tick
typhus, although only two remembered being bitten.
However, it is well known that ectoparasites transmit disease, says the Wisconsin epidemiologist, noting that things like ticks and fleas harbor important pathogens like
typhus, bubonic plague, Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
A lice - borne
typhus epidemic swept westward from Russia in the early 20th century, and by World War II, German troops in trenches on the Eastern Front were falling fast to the disease.
«Historians assumed it must have been smallpox; it must have been
typhus,» Acuña - Soto recalls.
The pilgrims probably also spread many diseases including smallpox, measles, tuberculosis (TB), and
typhus.
And Acuña - Soto noticed that previous researchers had to pick and choose among the disease reports to make them fit a diagnosis of smallpox or
typhus.
The data, including striking videos, the researchers say, «illustrate that the Vi capsular polysaccharide can act as a «cloaking device» that makes S.
Typhi practically «invisible» to neutrophils.»
Typhoid fever is caused by systemic (body - wide) infection with Salmonella enterica
Typhi.
To get at the signals revealing the presence of S. Typhimurium — which are somehow absent in (or obstructed by) the presence of S.
Typhi — the researchers used a second experimental set up.
Research published on August 7th in PLOS Pathogens comparing the two pathogens reveals how S.
Typhi avoids recognition and elimination by patrolling immune cells called neutrophils, allowing it to disseminate throughout the patient's body.
When they generated S.
Typhi lacking the Vi capsular polysaccharide and tested them in both experimental settings, they found that these behaved just like S. Typhimurium, i.e. evoked the «reach - out» response in pipette - held neutrophils and, in the Boyden chamber, elicited migration of neutrophils to the bottom compartment.
Bring back DDT, they demand, and let it be sprayed on the inner walls of houses, where it would kill vectors of malaria and other insect - borne diseases like dengue and
typhus.
As for the difference between S. Typhimurium and S.
Typhi, the researchers could show that a particular part of the outer layer of S.
Typhi — the so - called Vi capsular polysaccharide — was responsible for inhibiting the complement - dependent attraction of neutrophils.
H58
Typhi is often resistant to the first - line antimicrobials commonly used to treat the disease, and is continuing to evolve as it spreads to new regions and populations, acquiring novel mutations providing resistance to newer antimicrobial agents, such as ciprofloxacin and azithromycin.
That explains why the diseases they transmit in their feces —
typhus, trench fever, and relapsing fever — occur so commonly in wartime.
Further,
typhus claimed so many millions of lives during the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution that it threatened to torpedo the newly born Soviet state, leading Lenin to exclaim, «Either socialism will defeat the louse, or the louse will defeat socialism.»
American Indian populations plummeted after the arrival of Europeans in the New World, largely because of the spread of smallpox,
typhus, measles, and other infectious diseases.
The first, S.
typhi, is responsible for typhoid fever, which strikes 16 million people a year and kills 600,000 worldwide.
Also, comparisons of S.
typhi with E. coli and other S. enterica genomes showed that 204 S.
typhi genes are nonfunctioning.
Conducted by Prof Rose McGready and Assoc. Prof Daniel Henry Paris from the Shoklo Malaria Research Unit (SMRU) in Mae Sot, Thailand, and the Mahidol Oxford Research Unit (MORU) in Bangkok, affiliated to Oxford University, UK, in collaboration with Prof John Antony Jude Prakash of the Dept. of Clinical Microbiology, Christian Medical College, Vellore, India, the study, «Pregnancy outcome in relation to treatment of Murine
typhus and Scrub
typhus infection: a fever cohort and a case series analysis,» will be published in the November 20th, 2014 issue of PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases.
Caused by bacteria and often acquired by mite, flea or tick bites, tropical rickettsial illnesses — mainly scrub
typhus and murine
typhus — are a very common cause of undifferentiated fever in parts of South - East Asia.
A recent study from the Thai - Myanmar border highlights the severe and previously under - reported adverse impact of readily treatable tropical rickettsial illnesses, notably scrub
typhus and murine
typhus, on pregnancy outcomes, finding that more than one third of affected pregnancies resulted either in stillbirth or premature and / or low birth weight babies.
In Western societies antibiotics had controlled menaces like tuberculosis and
typhus, and the mechanisms of bacteria and viruses were well understood.
They fell victim to epidemic waves of smallpox, measles, influenza, bubonic plague, diphtheria,
typhus, cholera, -LSB-...]
Over the next decade, Levine's group expanded to challenges with Salmonella
typhi, E. coli, and rotavirus.
Suddenly there were epidemics of smallpox, cholera,
typhus, and malaria, diseases unknown to hunter - gatherers, and so began an evolutionary arms race to fend off the assault through superior immunity.
Murine
typhus (endemic
typhus) fever, and in some cases tapeworms, Hymenolepis, can also be transmitted by fleas.
Researchers proved its utility by successfully mapping the multi-drug resistance genes in a strain called Salmonella
Typhi haplotype H58 — which has recently emerged globally.
Genomic data from the Malawi strains reveals that up until 2009 no H58 strains were found, and other local strains of Salmonella
Typhi were fully sensitive to the antibiotics used locally.
Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Salmonella enterica serovar
Typhi.
Two common subspecies of Salmonella enterica are Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella
Typhi.
CD4 + T Cells Are as Protective as CD8 + T Cells against Rickettsia
typhi Infection by Activating Macrophage Bactericidal Activity.
Salmonella Typhimurium causes gastroenteritis (diarrhoea, vomiting, fever and abdominal cramps) while Salmonella
Typhi causes typhoid fever (high fever, weakness, stomach pains, headache and loss of appetite).
30.03.15 In the rest of the world, Salmonella
Typhi has only one type of flagellin, the whip - like structure that helps it to move.
We further demonstrated that while S. Typhimurium SptP is stable intracellularly within S
Typhi, S
Typhi SptP is unstable, although stability could be recovered following replacement of the chaperone - binding domain with that of S. Typhimurium.
Recently, a Salmonella
Typhi isolate producing CTX - M - 15 extended spectrum β - lactamase (ESBL) and with decreased ciprofloxacin susceptibility was isolated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Protein stability assays demonstrated that in S
Typhi the half - life of HilD, the dominant regulator of SPI - 1, is three times longer in the presence of bile; this increase in stability was independent of the acetyltransferase Pat.
