Current levels of heavy metal pollution in Africa. (4/252)

Studies of environmental pollution in Africa indicate that toxic metal pollution has reached unprecedented levels over the past decade. Human exposure to toxic metals has become a major health risk on the continent and is the subject of increasing attention from national and international environmentalists. This paper reviews data from the past decade on environmental pollution in Africa and highlights countries where most heavy metal pollutions have been reported. Characteristics of heavy metal pollution in North, West, East and Southern regions of Africa have been described, as have major sources of pollution in the different regions. This review summarizes the sites where most of the heavy metal pollution has been reported in Africa and, where applicable, presents reported levels of pollution in different environmental compartments in the context of internationally acceptable limits. Contaminations in fish and food animals as well as impacts of heavy metal pollution on humans are also described.  (+info)

Characterization of antibiotic resistance and the emergence of AmpC-producing Salmonella Infantis from pigs. (7/252)

During the period of 2007-2008, a total of 270 pig fecal samples were collected from a meat processing plant located in southern Japan and examined for Salmonella species. A total of 44 Salmonella isolates were recovered, and antimicrobial resistance was detected in serotypes Typhimurium (n=9), Infantis and Choleraesuis (n=2), and Derby, Miyazaki and Schwarzengrund (n=1). Multidrug resistance was seen in serotypes Typhimurium (n=8) and Infantis (n=2). The most commonly observed resistance phenotypes were against streptomycin, oxytetracycline and sulfamethoxazole (100%), ampicillin (90%), chloramphenicol (50%), cephalothin (30%) and cefoxitin, ceftazidime and kanamycin (each 20%). Extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Salmonella Infantis isolates producing plasmid-mediated, bla(CMY-2) gene were detected. These AmpC-producing isolates showed resistance to ampicillin and cephems (cephalothin, cefoxitin and ceftazidime). Resistance transfer experiments showed that transconjugants and transformants coexpressed resistance phenotypes similar to the donor isolates. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report worldwide describing serovar Infantis from pigs capable of producing AmpC beta-lactamase. Then, we detected the pentadrug-resistance phenotype in Salmonella Typhimurium isolates, which yielded class 1 integron amplicons of 1.0 and 1.2 kb. Genetic fingerprinting analysis by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and an assay by polymerase chain reaction confirmed the isolates to be Salmonella Typhimurium DT104. In conclusion, the findings of this survey call for the systematic and comprehensive domestic and international surveillance programs to determine the true rates of occurrence of AmpC-producing Salmonella both in the livestock and public health sectors.  (+info)

The symptoms of RVF in humans can range from mild to severe and include fever, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, and bleeding disorders. In severe cases, RVF can cause hemorrhagic fever, which can lead to death. Pregnant women, the elderly, and young children are at higher risk for developing severe forms of the disease.

RVF is typically diagnosed through a combination of physical examination, laboratory tests such as PCR or ELISA, and serology. Treatment is primarily focused on relieving symptoms and supporting vital organ function, and may include antiviral medications, antibiotics, and blood transfusions.

Prevention of RVF relies on controlling the transmission of the virus by reducing the population of infected mosquitoes through insecticides, eliminating standing water where mosquitoes can breed, and protecting against mosquito bites using personal protective measures such as long sleeves, pants, and insect repellents. Vaccines are also being developed to prevent RVF.

Rift Valley fever is a significant public health concern in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, where it can have a significant impact on human health, animal production, and economic development. Outbreaks of RVF can lead to significant morbidity and mortality, as well as disruption of social and economic activities.

Goat diseases can be diagnosed through physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. Treatment depends on the specific disease and may involve antibiotics, antiviral medications, or supportive care such as fluid therapy and nutritional supplements. Prevention is key in managing goat diseases, and this includes maintaining good hygiene, providing clean water and a balanced diet, and vaccinating goats against common diseases.

The symptoms of FMD can vary depending on the severity of the infection and the age of the animal. In mild cases, the only symptoms may be a slight fever and blisters on the feet, while in severe cases, the blisters may become ulcers, and the animal may develop difficulty swallowing or eating, leading to weight loss and dehydration.

The virus is transmitted through contact with infected animals or their secretions, such as saliva, mucus, and manure. It can also be spread by contaminated feed or equipment, and by insects such as flies and midges. The incubation period for FMD is typically 3-14 days, but it can range from 2 to 30 days.

FMD is a significant threat to animal health and welfare, and can have severe economic consequences for farmers and the livestock industry as a whole. In addition, the disease can be transmitted to humans through close contact with infected animals, although this is rare.

There are several tests available to diagnose FMD, including serological tests such as ELISAs and virus isolation techniques. The disease is typically controlled through a combination of stamping out (killing all animals in an affected herd) and vaccination. Vaccination can be used to protect animals that are not yet infected, or to reduce the severity of the disease in animals that are already infected.

In summary, foot-and-mouth disease is a highly contagious viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed animals and can have severe economic and animal health consequences. It is characterized by fever, blisters on the feet and in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing or eating. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs and laboratory tests, and control measures include stamping out and vaccination.

Ergotism was once a common condition in areas where ergot-infected grains were commonly consumed, particularly in Europe during the Middle Ages. It was sometimes known as "St. Anthony's fire" because it was believed to be caused by the devil.

The symptoms of ergotism can vary depending on the amount and type of alkaloids ingested, but they typically include:

* Headaches and muscle pain
* Nausea and vomiting
* Diarrhea and abdominal cramps
* Seizures and tremors
* Skin symptoms such as itching, burning, and blisters
* Cardiovascular symptoms such as high blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and decreased peripheral circulation

In severe cases, ergotism can lead to gangrene, particularly of the extremities. The condition was often fatal before the discovery of antibiotics.

Ergotism is relatively rare in modern times due to the widespread use of fertilizers and pesticides, which reduce the prevalence of ergot-infected grains. However, it can still occur in areas where these practices are not common or where there is a lack of awareness about the risks of consuming ergot-infected grains.

In addition to its historical significance, ergotism has also been linked to certain cultural and religious practices. For example, some research suggests that the visions and hallucinations experienced by some mystics and spiritual leaders may have been caused by ergotism. However, this theory is not universally accepted and requires further investigation.

The symptoms of bovine tuberculosis can vary depending on the severity of the infection and the organs affected. Common symptoms include:

* Coughing or difficulty breathing
* Weight loss and loss of condition
* Fever
* Swollen lymph nodes
* Enlarged liver or spleen
* Poor milk production in lactating cows
* Intestinal problems, such as diarrhea or constipation

If left untreated, bovine tuberculosis can lead to serious complications, such as pneumonia, pleurisy, and peritonitis. It can also spread to other animals in the herd, making it important to identify and isolate infected animals promptly.

Diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis typically involves a combination of physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. Skin tests, such as the Mantoux test or the single-dose intradermal test, can detect exposure to the bacteria, but they may not always provide accurate results in animals with low levels of antibodies. Blood tests, such as the interferon gamma (IFN-γ) test or the QuantiFERON® test, can detect the presence of TB antigens in the blood, but these tests may also have limitations.

Treatment of bovine tuberculosis typically involves a combination of antibiotics and supportive care to manage symptoms and prevent complications. The most commonly used antibiotics include isoniazid, streptomycin, and pyrazinamide. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to remove infected tissue or repair damaged organs.

Prevention of bovine tuberculosis primarily involves controlling the spread of the disease through control of the mycobacteria that cause it. Measures such as testing and removal of infected animals, use of clean needles and equipment, and proper disposal of animal carcasses can help prevent the spread of the disease. Additionally, vaccination of animals with a live bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine has been shown to be effective in preventing TB infections.

In conclusion, bovine tuberculosis is a significant health concern for cattle and other animals, as well as humans who may be exposed to infected animals or contaminated products. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent the spread of the disease and manage symptoms in affected animals. Prevention measures such as testing and removal of infected animals, use of clean needles and equipment, and proper disposal of animal carcasses can help control the spread of the disease.

There are two forms of trypanosomiasis, depending on the stage of the parasite:

1. Acute trypanosomiasis: This form of the disease occurs in the early stages of infection and is characterized by fever, headache, muscle pain, and joint swelling.
2. Chronic trypanosomiasis: This form of the disease occurs in the later stages of infection and is characterized by progressive neurological symptoms, including confusion, slurred speech, and difficulty walking.

If left untreated, trypanosomiasis can be fatal. Treatment typically involves the use of antiparasitic drugs, such as melarsoprol or eflornithine.

In addition to its medical significance, trypanosomiasis has also had significant social and economic impacts on affected communities, particularly in rural areas where the disease is more common. The stigma associated with the disease can lead to social isolation and marginalization of infected individuals and their families, while the financial burden of treatment can be a significant source of poverty.

Overall, trypanosomiasis is a serious and potentially deadly disease that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent complications and improve outcomes for affected individuals.

There are two main forms of the disease, depending on the species of parasite and the location where the infection is acquired:

* T. b. rhodesiense infection is found primarily in East and Southern Africa, and is characterized by a more severe form of the disease. Symptoms can include fever, headache, joint pain, and skin rashes, as well as swelling of the lymph nodes and spleen. If left untreated, the disease can progress to a more advanced stage, characterized by neurological symptoms such as confusion, seizures, and coma.
* T. b. gambiense infection is found primarily in West and Central Africa, and is characterized by a milder form of the disease. Symptoms can include fever, joint pain, and skin rashes, as well as swelling of the lymph nodes and spleen.

Both forms of the disease are treatable with antiparasitic drugs, but if left untreated, they can be fatal. Diagnosis is typically made through a combination of physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies such as ultrasound or CT scans. Treatment is usually with melarsoprol or eflornithine, and in some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove affected tissue or organs.

Prevention of trypanosomiasis involves controlling the population of tsetse flies through the use of insecticides, traps, and other methods, as well as educating people about how to avoid being bitten by infected flies. There is also ongoing research into the development of a vaccine against trypanosomiasis.

There are many different types of helminths that can infect animals, including:

* Roundworms (Toxocara canis, Toxocara cati)
* Hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum, Ancylostoma braziliense)
* Whipworms (Trichuris vulpis)
* Tapeworms (Taenia pisiformis, Taenia serialis)
* Liver flukes (Fasciola hepatica)
* Intestinal flukes (Fasciola gigantica)

Animals can become infected with helminths through a variety of means, including:

* Ingestion of contaminated food or water
* Contact with infected animals or their feces
* Insect vectors, such as mosquitoes or fleas

The symptoms of helminthiasis can vary depending on the type of worm and the severity of the infection. Some common symptoms include:

* Diarrhea
* Vomiting
* Abdominal pain
* Weight loss
* Anemia
* Inflammation of various organs, such as the liver or kidneys

In severe cases, helminthiasis can lead to more serious complications, such as intestinal blockages or abscesses.

Diagnosis of helminthiasis typically involves a combination of physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. Treatment usually involves the use of antiparasitic drugs to kill the worms, and may also include supportive care to manage symptoms and prevent complications.

Prevention of helminthiasis is important for both animal and human health, and can be achieved through a variety of measures, including:

* Regular deworming of animals
* Proper disposal of animal feces
* Safe handling and cooking of food
* Avoiding contact with contaminated water or soil
* Using insecticides to control vectors, such as mosquitoes and fleas.

10. Babesiosis: A parasitic disease caused by a protozoan parasite that can infect dogs and other animals, causing fever, anemia, and other symptoms.

Parasitic diseases in animals are often diagnosed through physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. Treatment options vary depending on the specific disease and the severity of the infection, but may include antiparasitic medications, antibiotics, and supportive care such as fluid therapy and nutritional support. Prevention is key in avoiding parasitic diseases in animals, and this can be achieved through regular deworming and vaccination programs, as well as taking measures to reduce exposure to parasites such as fleas and ticks.

A parasitic disease caused by the flagellated protozoan Trypanosoma (Schizotrypanum) brucei, transmitted to cattle by the tsetse fly. The disease is characterized by fever, anemia, and edema. There are two main forms of the disease: nagana and trypanosomiasis. Nagana is a more severe form that affects older animals and is often fatal, while trypanosomiasis is a less severe form that affects younger animals and may cause only mild symptoms. Also known as African trypanosomiasis or tsetse fly disease.

Synonyms: bovine nagana, trypanosomiasis, schizotrypanosis.

Synonyms: bluetongue virus, BTV, cytoplasmic immersion body disease.

Antonyms: none found.

Infectious diseases, especially those affecting livestock, are a significant concern globally, and Bluetongue is one such disease that can have a substantial impact on animal health and productivity. It is essential to understand the definition of Bluetongue and its symptoms to diagnose and manage the disease effectively.

Word origin: Bluetongue gets its name from the distinctive swelling of the tongue, which turns blue in color due to the accumulation of blood vessels. The term "bluetongue" was first used in the early 19th century to describe this condition in sheep.

There are several types of brucellosis, including:

1. Brucella abortus: This type is primarily found in cattle and is the most common form of the disease in humans.
2. Brucella suis: This type is found in pigs and is less common in humans.
3. Brucella melitensis: This type is found in sheep, goats, and other animals, and is more virulent than B. abortus.
4. Brucella canis: This type is found in dogs and is rare in humans.

The symptoms of brucellosis can vary depending on the severity of the infection and the individual's overall health. Common symptoms include:

1. Fever
2. Headache
3. Joint pain
4. Muscle pain
5. Swelling of the lymph nodes and spleen
6. Fatigue
7. Loss of appetite
8. Weight loss

In severe cases, brucellosis can cause complications such as:

1. Endocarditis (infection of the heart valves)
2. Meningitis (inflammation of the lining around the brain and spinal cord)
3. Osteomyelitis (infection of the bone)
4. Testicular inflammation in men
5. Epididymitis (inflammation of the epididymis, a tube that carries sperm from the testicle to the penis)
6. Inflammation of the heart muscle and valves
7. Pneumonia
8. Inflammation of the liver and spleen

Brucellosis is diagnosed through a combination of physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, and early treatment can help prevent complications. Prevention measures include avoiding contact with infected animals and ensuring proper hygiene practices when handling livestock or wild game.

Symptoms of CHF typically begin within 3-7 days after the tick bite and may include:

* Fever
* Headache
* Muscle and joint pain
* Fatigue
* Nausea and vomiting
* Diarrhea
* Abdominal pain
* Bleeding from the nose, gums, or under the skin (petechiae)

In severe cases, CHF can lead to:

* Hemorrhagic manifestations such as bleeding from the eyes, ears, and mouth
* Central nervous system involvement including seizures, meningitis, and encephalitis
* Multi-organ failure

The diagnosis of CHF is based on a combination of clinical findings, laboratory tests, and serology. Treatment is primarily supportive, with management of symptoms and fluid replacement as needed. Antiviral therapy may be used in some cases.

Prevention of CHF involves protecting against tick bites, such as using insect repellents and wearing protective clothing when outdoors in areas where ticks are common. Vaccines are also available for high-risk individuals, such as military personnel and laboratory workers who handle the virus.

The prognosis for CHF varies depending on the severity of the disease and the promptness and effectiveness of treatment. In general, milder cases may have a good outcome with supportive care, while severe cases can be fatal if not treated promptly and effectively.

A disease that affects pigs, including viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections, as well as genetic disorders and nutritional deficiencies. Some common swine diseases include:

1. Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS): A highly contagious viral disease that can cause reproductive failure, respiratory problems, and death.
2. Swine Influenza: A viral infection similar to human influenza, which can cause fever, coughing, and pneumonia in pigs.
3. Erysipelas: A bacterial infection that causes high fever, loss of appetite, and skin lesions in pigs.
4. Actinobacillosis: A bacterial infection that can cause pneumonia, arthritis, and abscesses in pigs.
5. Parasitic infections: Such as gastrointestinal parasites like roundworms and tapeworms, which can cause diarrhea, anemia, and weight loss in pigs.
6. Scrapie: A degenerative neurological disorder that affects pigs and other animals, causing confusion, aggression, and eventually death.

8. Genetic disorders: Such as achondroplasia, a condition that causes dwarfism and deformities in pigs.
9. Environmental diseases: Such as heat stress, which can cause a range of health problems in pigs, including respiratory distress and death.

It's important to note that many swine diseases have similar symptoms, making accurate diagnosis by a veterinarian essential for effective treatment and control.

Word origin:

Cryptosporidium (genus name) is derived from the Greek words "kruptos" (meaning hidden) and "sporos" (meaning seed), referring to the parasite's ability to hide within host cells. The specific species of Cryptosporidium that infect humans is known as C. parvum.

Example sentences:

1. The CDC has reported an outbreak of cryptosporidiosis in a community with a contaminated water supply.
2. The patient was diagnosed with cryptosporidiosis after experiencing severe diarrhea and vomiting for several days.
3. The researchers are studying the effectiveness of antimicrobial medications against cryptosporidiosis in immunocompromised individuals.

Examples of emerging communicable diseases include SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), West Nile virus, and HIV/AIDS. These diseases are often difficult to diagnose and treat, and they can spread rapidly due to increased travel and trade, as well as the high level of interconnectedness in today's world.

Emerging communicable diseases can be caused by a variety of factors, such as environmental changes, genetic mutations, or the transmission of diseases from animals to humans. These diseases can also be spread through various routes, including airborne transmission, contact with infected bodily fluids, and vector-borne transmission (such as through mosquitoes or ticks).

To prevent the spread of emerging communicable diseases, it is important to have strong surveillance systems in place to detect and monitor outbreaks, as well as effective public health measures such as vaccination programs, quarantine, and contact tracing. Additionally, research into the causes and transmission mechanisms of these diseases is crucial for developing effective treatments and prevention strategies.

Overall, emerging communicable diseases pose a significant threat to global health security, and it is important for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the general public to be aware of these diseases and take steps to prevent their spread.
