  • Parasitic diseases are much more widespread than many people realize. (medhelp.org)
  • Nevertheless, since hospitalized patients are often debilitated, contagious diseases can more easily spread through a hospital population with a possible bigger clinical impact than on healthy individuals. (ivis.org)
  • Why should the veterinary world be much more focused on preventing instead of treating contagious diseases? (ivis.org)
  • The intensification and scale increase of sport, sales, and breeding events, allows a more intense interaction between transported animals and contagious diseases: travelling animals can spread contagious diseases but they can also come in contact with foreign infectious diseases and attract them due to absence of or poorer protective immunity. (ivis.org)
  • canids, felids, bears, mustelids Common in red fox, wolves, and coyotes in N. America impacts on younger animals Highly contagious, direct transfer of mites at any stage of their development Indirect transfer of mites (mechanical transfer) - importance? (studylib.net)
  • In advanced stages the disease affects the central nervous system, causing severe neurological and mental disorders and making the individual dependent on others. (who.int)
  • Skin disease (which includes the dog's ears) is a source of severe irritation for dogs and dog owners. (cambriananimalhospital.ca)
  • Stressful events such as trauma, surgery, severe disease, and emotional upsets also can activate dormant larvae. (carnivora.ca)
  • 1st identified in a Great Lakes wolf, 1991 Since 1991, signs of mange detected in 27% of wolves High of 58% in 1992-1993 1993 = 11% decline in wolf population Some literature suggesting population impact most severe in 2nd or 3rd year of epidemic Impacts on annual pup survival? (studylib.net)
  • If left untreated these diseases can cause severe complications, including disability and disfigurement which can lead to stigmatization and social exclusion. (who.int)

  • We sampled 56 wild midwife toads ( Alytes obstetricans ) from montane populations exhibiting Bd epizootic or enzootic disease dynamics. (biomedcentral.com)
  • This was further supported by microbe-metabolite integration which identified functionally relevant taxa driving disease outcome, of which Sphingobacterium and Bd were most influential in wild epizootic dynamics. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In addition, 3 in 4 newly emerging infectious diseases that threaten people originate in animals. (cdc.gov)
  • This research revealed a high prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis in the population living around the lakes of Ounianga in the Sahara, a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) world heritage site in Chad. (biomedcentral.com)
  • prevalence for same population age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. population is 23.6%) ( 6 ). (cdc.gov)
  • The objective of this research was to estimate the prevalence for the main fish-borne zoonotic parasitic diseases of freshwater fish marketed in Colares Island and Vigia, Pará, Brazil. (bvsalud.org)
  • Emerging infectious diseases such as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and TB vividly illustrate that no nation can be complacent regarding human vulnerability to the microorganisms with which we share our environment. (cdc.gov)
  • Populations in the age group 15-45 years living in remote rural areas are the most affected, leading to economic loss and social misery. (who.int)
  • Infected individuals are weakened, often for many years, causing economic loss, poverty and social misery. (who.int)
  • Parasites belonging to the phylum Nematoda cause numerous diseases and economic loss in humans, animals, and plants. (frontiersin.org)

  • liver fluke) can cause significant economic and production losses in dairy cow farms. (keyopinionleaders.com)
  • As today's world becomes ever more connected, the need to effectively apply a One Health approach only increases, to protect people, animals, plants, and our environment, but also to prevent economic disruptions that all too often accompany disease outbreaks and other health threats. (cdc.gov)
  • They are termed 'neglected' as they generally affect poorer populations often living in remote rural or peri-urban areas in developing countries without adequate sanitation, in poor housing conditions and with little access to health services, and as most are focal in nature and occur in remote areas, they are rarely given high priority by decision-makers in endemic countries. (who.int)
  • 2014). So, sheep population in this region has become adapted to a range of environments from cool alpine climate of the mountains to the hot and arid pastoral areas of the lowlands (Mirkana, 2010). (ijlr.org)
