41. Diseases And Conditions -- Discovery Health -- Tularemia Tularemia is a bacterial infection that is transmitted to humans from an infected animal or insect. http://health.discovery.com/diseasesandcond/encyclopedia/404.html

tularemia By Danielle Zerr, MD Tularemia is a bacterial infection that is transmitted to humans from an infected animal or insect. What is going on in the body? Tularemia is caused by the bacterium, Francisella tularensis. Transmission of this infection is usually from the bite of wild or domesticated animals as well as ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes that are infected with this organism. A person may also become infected just by coming in contact with an infected animal (by skinning an infected rabbit, for example) or from the bite of a blood-sucking insect. What are the signs and symptoms of the disease? The general symptoms of tularemia may include: sudden onset of fever chills muscle aches headache open sore on the skin at the site of the bite swollen lymph nodes conjunctivitis or infection of the eye sore throat respiratory symptoms, such as coughing a swollen liver and spleen What are the causes and risks of the disease? The Francisella tularensis bacteria cause tularemia. A person risks exposure to this bacteria from: close contact with animals and certain insects that are infected with the organism. Hunters and trappers are at risk. In the US, ticks and rabbits remain the main source of infection for humans.

A Animal diseases do not respect national borders and the Governments and stakeholders in England, Scotland and Wales share the same major concerns. We recognise the need for a joined up approach and are working together to develop a shared vision for animal health and welfare in Britain with flexibility for national, regional and local implementation. Trade is an important aspect in which the EU and international dimension is significant. Q3 What will it do? A The Strategy will provide clear direction for the development of future policies in this area of work and the revision of existing measures. It will establish a framework to enable Government and stakeholders to agree priorities. It will clarify responsibilities and set strategic goals for key activities. It will increase the transparency of Government actions and it will be a mechanism for moving towards better public information and advice. Q4 Will it prevent future animal disease outbreaks?

DEFRA International Trade Import and Export Controls Last reviewed: 25 May 2001 This page sets out the general rules applicable to imports and exports of live animals and animal products in Great Britain. However, it does not cover exports to third countries, most of which are subject to bilateral trade agreements rather than statutory requirements. EC legislation Intra-community conditions Third country conditions EC veterinary checks ... Safeguard measures EC legislation The completion of the Single Market in the veterinary sector on 01 January 1993 brought about major changes to the controls on the movements of animals and animal products within, and into, the European Community. The United Kingdom's previous controls on imports, which relied to a large extent on veterinary checks at points of entry and post-import controls (including quarantine for certain animals) were replaced by a system of veterinary inspection and certification. Animals and animal products imported into the UK from other Member States are no longer routinely checked at the port or airport of arrival but are instead required to have been checked at their premises of origin. Random spot checks at the premises of destination are, however, permitted. The State Veterinary Service and Port Health Authorities are responsible for conducting the required veterinary checks on live animals and animal products imported from third countries through UK

InFocus Programme on Safety and Health at Work and the Environment ILO Encyclopaedia References to Anthrax [Workers compensation, topics in] In 1919, the year of its creation, the International Labour Organization (ILO) declared that anthrax was an occupational disease. On some plantations, draught animals are used for dragging or carrying loads. These animals include horses, donkeys, mules and oxen. These types of animals have injured workers by kicking or biting. They also potentially expose workers to zoonotic diseases including anthrax, brucellosis, rabies, Q-fever or tularaemia. Animals should be well trained, and those that exhibit dangerous behaviour should not be used for work. Bridles, harnesses, saddles and so on should be used and maintained in good condition and be properly adjusted. Diseased animals should be identified and treated or disposed of. Military personnel face injury and illness from a variety of weapons. The more conventional weapons produce casualties using projectiles and fragments, blast effects (which may result in lung contusion trauma) and flame and incendiary devices, such as those containing napalm and phosphorus. Eye injuries from lasers may occur accidentally or when lasers are used as offensive weapons. Other weapons systems employ biological material, such as anthrax spores, or chemicals like anticholinesterase agents. Animal products used by fibre artists such as wool, hair, hides and feathers may be contaminated with bacteria, moulds, lice or mites that are capable of causing “Q” fever, mange, respiratory symptoms, skin rashes, anthrax, allergies and so on, if they are not treated or fumigated before use. Fatal cases of inhalation anthrax have occurred in craft weavers, including the 1976 death of a California weaver.

Table of Contents Esoteric Healing - Chapter II - Causes Emanating from Group Life Diseases Arising from Obscure Planetary Conditions Perhaps one point which I might helpfully emphasize is that it is this obscure planetary effect (obscure to us, at this time) upon the physical body which is the major cause of death where the purely animal form nature is concerned, or the forms of life present in the animal and vegetable [244] kingdoms, and to a lesser and slower degree in the mineral kingdom likewise. Death, as far as the human being is concerned, is increasingly due to the planned intent and planned withdrawal of the soul, under the pressure of its own formulated intent. This is true to some degree of all who die, except those who are of so low a grade of intelligence that the soul is practically little more than an over-shadowing agency. Of all who die, highly developed or not, the later stages of dissolution, effective after the conscious withdrawal of the soul (conscious on the part of the soul and becoming increasingly conscious on the part of the dying person), are taken over by this death-bestowing power of the planetary life itself. In this process and interaction, the form shows the results of being either the receiver of the tide of life from the planet or as the releaser of that life, under cyclic law, to its general reservoir of living energy. Upon these two reactions depends the health or the disease of the form in various stages and states of response and under the action of other contributing and conditioning factors. There are three major stages in the life cycle of all subhuman forms, and in the human form likewise when the soul is simply an over-shadowing force and not an integrated energy:

Table of Contents Esoteric Healing - The Basic Causes of Disease The Training of the Healer As regards the training of the healer, I will give from time to time the six rules which govern (or should govern) his activity. Bear in mind the two words which I earlier gave. They sum up the healer's story: Magnetism and Radiation . They are different in their effects as we shall later see. Rule one The healer must seek to link his soul, his heart, his brain and his hands. Thus can he pour the vital healing force upon the patient. This is magnetic work . It cures disease, or may increase the so-called evil state, according to the knowledge of the healer. The healer must seek to link his soul, his brain, his heart and auric emanation. Thus can his presence feed the [18] soul life of the patient. This is the work of radiation. The hands are needed not. The soul displays its power. The patient's soul responds through the response of his aura to the radiation of the healer's aura, flooded with soul energy. In considering the Causes of Disease, I find it necessary to speak a word in connection with conditions - external and internal. It will be apparent to the casual thinker that many diseases and many causes of death are due to environing conditions for which he is in no way responsible. These range all the way from purely external occurrences to hereditary predispositions. They might be listed as follows:

Press Releases Stopping animal disease at the border: Tighter rules on personal imports of meat and milk into the EU January 16, 2003 On 1 January 2003, tighter EU rules on personal imports of meat and milk products entered into force. Travellers entering the EU from certain third countries will no longer be allowed to bring in personal imports of meat, meat products, milk or milk products, on their person or in their luggage, unless accompanied by official veterinary documentation. David Byrne, EU Commissioner for Health and Consumer Affairs, said: "With the foot-and-mouth disease crisis fresh in our minds, the significance of this measure is clear. Even small quantities of infected products for personal use may spark an outbreak of animal disease. It is therefore important to make travellers aware of the risks and enlist their help in our efforts to stop infectious animal diseases from entering the EU." In addition to tightening the rules, an awareness campaign is being launched to bring the message to travellers entering the EU and the candidate countries. This campaign includes a poster that is available in over 30 languages, to ensure that passengers are aware of the new rules and the reasons behind them, before they travel as well as during their journey. The legislation suspends existing exceptions to import conditions and border controls that are granted for meat, milk and derived products brought by travellers for private consumption or sent to private persons.

New! Visit our Animals in the Classroom Discussion Forum! Order Infection - Version Why Are Animals Needed in Research? Historical Perspectives A wonderful book entitled Cattle, Priests and Progress by Calvin W. Schwabe, D.V.M., M.P.H., Sc.D. is a fascinating and wonderful description of the evolution of medicine and especially veterinary medicine. The following shares a few of the ideas provided by Dr. Schwabe. The idea of stewardship of animals developed in ancient times, as early humans domesticated animals. Additionally in early cultures, priests or shaman began to observe the relationship between human health and animal diseases (for example Judaic Law prohibiting the eating of pork). In Roman times Galen, the father of anatomy, dissected animals learning about their internal structures and then using them to teach others. However, it was not until the time of the American Revolution that we begin to see experimentation on animals rather than experimentation on humans. In Western Europe in the late 1700's an event of major economic consequence was in part responsible for the emergence of the research process as we know it today. Rinderpest (a fatal plague of cattle) was introduced to Europe from southern Russia by returning soldiers. In a decade the disease swept westward and reduced the cattle herds of Europe "in orders of several millions." The first quarter of the 18th century had already witnessed a dynamic expansion of efforts to promote (human) medical sciences. There was wide spread public outcry about Rinderpest and other little understood and devastating epidemic diseases like anthrax, foot and mouth disease, and pleuropneumonia. These were threats to the economic existence of not only household but of countries. Remember that during this time the economic base of most European countries was grounded in agriculture.

Office of Rare Diseases Report on the Rare Diseases and Conditions Research Activities of the National Institutes of Health 1998 National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) OVERVIEW OF RARE DISEASES RESEARCH ACTIVITIES The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke conducts and supports research on the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of neurological and neuromuscular disorders. Hundreds of rare diseases attack the nervous system. They kill, disable, or otherwise afflict people of all ages. These diseases include, to name just a few, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, spinal muscular atrophy, spinocerebellar ataxias, Friedreich's ataxia, and several forms of muscular dystrophy. In fact, a large percentage of the disorders within the NINDS mission are considered rare. Even the more common diagnoses, such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and epilepsy, include uncommon forms of these disorders, so the following can only present a sampling of rare disease related activities of the Institute. RECENT SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES IN RARE DISEASES RESEARCH Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T) A-T is an inherited, progressive, and ultimately fatal, childhood disease that affects many organ systems. The ataxia, or loss of movement control, begins in the first few years of life as nerve cells in the brain's cerebellum die. Telangiectasia refers to dilated blood vessels in the eyes and face. In addition to degeneration in the brain, other problems include a greatly increased risk of cancer, especially leukemia and lymphoma, a high rate of diabetes, and frequent lung infections. People with A-T usually die of respiratory failure or cancer by their early twenties. Carriers of A-T, who have a single copy of the defective gene rather than two, escape most problems associated with the disease, but may have a slightly increased risk of cancer, including breast cancer in women.

This Week's Current The Classroom Flyer Life Science Biology ... Sports Infectious Diseases among Wildlife A Threat to Biodiversity and to Humans Wildlife at Risk Infectious disease is the leading cause of human death worldwide, due both to growing resistance of common infections to drugs like penicillin, and to emerging infectious diseases (EID). More than thirty new infectious diseases and syndromes have been recognized over the last two decades alone, according to the National Institute of Health. Are humans the only ones being affected? Authors of a study appearing recently in Science Magazine call it "pathogen pollution": a term for the increasing number of microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, viruses, and parasites) that can cause disease in other organisms or in humans, animals, and plants. The study shows that humans are not the only ones at risk; animals face infectious disease as well. Wildlife has been subject to the woes of modern living: crowded living conditions and urban sprawl, relocation, and exposure to new foods and new species. They have been exposed to new pathogens from domestic animals living nearby and from human intervention, such as mixing species at wildlife refugees. For example, a strain of the herpes virus is fatal to Asian elephants while African elephants are unaffected by it. Mixing the elephants in a zoo can have disastrous results for the Asian elephants.
