Sleeping sickness is transmitted through the bite of an infected tsetse fly. The tsetse fly carries two protozoa, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Trypanosomoa brucei gambiense, which spread through the bloodstream and can cause swelling of the brain. Symptoms include daytime sleepiness. Treatment options include pentamidine injections for Trypanosomoa brucei gambiense infections, but this medicine is toxic and not recommended for preventing Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense infections.

Pneumonia(2)
Pneumonia can be caused by at least 30 different factors including inhaling vomit or chemicals and is spread through the air from contagious people without showing symptoms. Anyone can get pneumonia but it hits children especially hard in poorer areas, with common signs being fever, cough, rapid breathing, vomiting and chest pain. Prevention involves vaccines, hand washing, and avoiding others with illnesses, while treatment consists of antibiotics, rest, hydration and not smoking.
African trypanosomiasis
African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is caused by a parasite called Trypanosoma and transmitted by the bite of the tsetse fly. It affects people in rural parts of Africa and causes symptoms like swelling at the bite site, severe fatigue, headaches, joint pain, behavioral changes, and disturbed sleep patterns. While it can cause neurological disorders and death if left untreated, it can be prevented by avoiding tsetse fly habitats or wearing protective clothing, and treated with drugs like Pentamidine, Suramin, and combinations of other drugs.
Sleeping sickness (1)alba plana
Sleeping sickness is caused by infection from protozoan parasites transmitted through bites from tsetse flies. The tsetse fly lives in 36 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and is the vector that spreads the disease to people living in rural areas. Sleeping sickness diagnosis and treatment requires specialized medical staff and occurs only where the tsetse fly is present.
African Sleeping Sickness
Human African Trypanosomiasis, also known as African sleeping sickness, is caused by a parasite transmitted by the bite of the tsetse fly. The disease exists in two forms found in different regions of sub-Saharan Africa, and symptoms vary depending on the stage of infection, initially presenting as fever and joint pain and later causing confusion if untreated. Diagnosis involves blood and spinal fluid tests while treatment differs depending on the stage and form of the disease, including pentamidine, suramin, melarsoprol and eflornithine.
Enfermedad de chagas, por trypanosoma cruzi
Enfermedad de chagas, por trypanosoma cruziUniversidad de Los Andes / Instituto de Altos Estudios en Salud Dr. Arnoldo Gabaldón /MPPS
La enfermedad de Chagas, también conocida como tripanosomiasis americana o Mal de Chagas-Mazza, es una enfermedad parasitaria tropical, generalmente crónica, causada por el protozoo flagelado Trypanosoma cruzi.
Se considera que la enfermedad de Chagas es endémica de América, distribuyéndose desde México hasta Sudamérica, aunque existen vectores y reservorios incluso en el sur de los Estados Unidos, y en la actualidad se considera una enfermedad, aunque esporádica, con casos identificados en Canadá y EE.UU. Se estima que son infectadas por la enfermedad de Chagas entre 15 y 17 millones de personas cada año, de las cuales mueren unas 50.000. La enfermedad tiene mayor prevalencia en las regiones rurales más pobres de América Latina.Trypanosomiasis
African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is caused by microscopic parasites of the species Trypanosoma brucei which is transmitted by the tsetse fly found in rural Africa. The disease has been a serious public health problem in some regions of sub-Saharan Africa. Symptoms in advanced stages include alteration of biological clocks, confusion, slurred speech, seizures and difficulty walking or talking which can lead to death if not treated. Treatment options include drugs like diminazene and suramin, while prevention focuses on reducing reservoirs of infection and the presence of tsetse flies through screening programs and early diagnosis.

This document provides an overview of cloning techniques and issues. It discusses that clones are exact genetic copies and describes two cloning techniques: artificial embryo twinning which mimics natural twinning, and somatic cell nuclear transfer which produces identical embryos. It notes therapeutic cloning aims to produce stem cells from cloned embryos while reproductive cloning aims to create a human copy. The document outlines some potential uses like medicine and livestock but also risks like failure rates and abnormal development. It closes by mentioning some ethical issues around human control and genetic makeup.

The document discusses evidence for continental drift and plate tectonics. It summarizes Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift, which proposed that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangea. It then outlines several lines of evidence that support this idea, including matching continental shapes, matching rock formations, and shared fossil distributions. The document goes on to describe the modern theory of plate tectonics, how the Earth's outer shell is broken into plates that move over convection currents in the mantle. It discusses the three types of plate boundaries and associated geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.

Sleeping sickness is caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma gambiense, which lives in fresh water in Africa and can be transmitted through the bite of an infected tsetse fly. The infection spreads through the bloodstream and can cause symptoms like personality changes, confusion, difficulty walking, fever and headaches if not treated with medicines. Prevention efforts include vaccines.

The musculoskeletal system
The skeletal system consists of 206 bones that support the body and enable movement. The axial skeleton includes the skull, vertebrae, ribs, and sternum, while the appendicular skeleton comprises the shoulder and pelvic girdles and upper and lower limbs. Bones are living tissues composed of compact and spongy bone, and come in long, short, flat, and irregular shapes. Joints like the ball-and-socket shoulder allow bones to articulate. Ligaments and tendons connect bones to muscles, which contract to create movement via actin and myosin interactions in the sarcomere. The musculoskeletal system works with three muscle types - cardiac, smooth, and striated skeletal muscle - to support the form and
The nervous system
The document discusses the brain and nervous system. It notes that as long as the brain remains a mystery, so too will the universe. It then provides details on the two main types of cells in the central nervous system - neurons, which transmit nervous messages, and glial cells, which assist neurons. The brain contains over 100 billion neurons. Some axons are wrapped in a myelin sheath formed by Schwann cells, which allows signals to jump between nodes and travel hundreds of times faster than unmyelinated axons.

Balmis' expedition berta de la rosa
1) The Balmis Expedition was a three-year mission that set off from La Coruña, Spain in 1803 with the goal of vaccinating thousands in the Americas against smallpox.
2) They transported the smallpox vaccine across oceans using a "cold chain" method of keeping it cold with ice and plastic boxes to preserve it.
3) The vaccine was transported by infecting children with cowpox pustules and propagating the disease from child to child as a way of preserving the vaccine across long distances.

Sleeping sickness maria mossegui
- 2. -How is it transmitted? Sleeping sickness is caused by two protozoa: Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense Trypanosomoa brucei gambiense.
- 3. Which is the vector? Tse Tse fly carry the infection. When an infected Tse Tse fly bites you, the infection spreads through your blood. And then your brain swells.
- 4. -Symptoms
- 5. -Treatment There are some medicines to treat this sickness. Pentamidine injections protect against Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. But not against Trypanosomoa brucei rhodesiense, because this medicine is toxic, using it for prevention is not recommended.
- 6. The End
