The purpose of this project is to learn about the different types of pathogens we
have in the world and how they are affecting the world.It is important to learn about the
different pathogens because these pathogens are spreading around the world and they
are causing people to die.We are trying to inform our peers about this disease so we
Ocean,it is made up of 700 islands and 2,400 vacant cays.Its Capital is Nassau and
specific biome for the Bahamas are tropical and subtropical Dry Broadleaf Forest.The
Arawak Indians were the first inhabitants of the Bahamas.The British first built
settlements on the islands in the 17th century. The Bahamas were a Crown colony from
1717 until they were granted internal self-government in 1964. The islands moved
toward greater autonomy in 1968 after the overwhelming victory in general elections of
the Progressive Liberal Party.On July 10, 1973, the Bahamas became an independent
nation.
Objective 2:How Emergent Diseases spread to Human Populations
become infected when they feed on a person already infected with the virus. Infected
mosquitoes can then spread the virus to other people through bites.Chikungunya is
most often spread to people by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. These
are the same mosquitoes that transmit dengue virus. They bite mostly during the
are found throughout much of the world.Chikungunya israrely transmitted from mother
to newborn around the time of birth.To date, no infants have been found to be infected
circulating.In theory, the virus could be spread through a blood transfusion. To date,
A virus particle attaches to a host cell.The particle releases its genetic instructions into
the host cell.The injected genetic material recruits the host cell's enzymes.The enzymes
make parts for more new virus particles. The new particles assemble the parts into new
viruses. The new particles break free from the host cell.
A pandemics is a global disease outbreak. There are several ways of preventing the
new disease. Since its new, humans have little to no immunity against it. There are
vaccines that can help prevent the disease in its early stages as well as other drugs. (
maybe herbal remedies)
In the first stage,CHK enters the human body via the saliva glands of the
mosquito. When an infected female Anophele mosquito bites, it introduces the virus into
the bloodstream of the host. Soon after entering the bloodstream,the virus get combined
with permissive cells, especially the one of the nose,throat, and mouth.In the second
stage,the cellular stage, chikungunya makes its way to the cytoplasm and then finally to
the nucleus. After entering the nucleus, HIV deposits genetic material and replicates
genome in the nucleus. After passing the cellular stage, the virus enters into the
surrounding tissues and begins infecting the other cell as well. It proliferates in the blood
stream and in the entire body causing a main function. It is only after two to twelve days
of an infected mosquito bite that the symptoms of illness occur. Chikungunya is mainly
characterised by sudden onset of fever, severe pain the joints and skin rash.When a
mosquito bites the above stated viraemic host or the human who has been infected, the
virus is transmitted to it and it gets replicated in the midgut, ovary,neural tissues and fat
of the insect. The virus reproduces there and migrates to the salivary glands of the
mosquito.
As the infected mosquito bites someone the life cycle of CHK transfers onto another
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes have adapted so that their eggs can survive dry
conditions for several months.This adaptation has made it very difficult to eliminate
mosquito populations completely in many areas of the world, like the Bahamas. In
countries in the equatorial zone that experience tropical monsoon seasons are where
dengue epidemics is a serious public health problem. These mosquitoes live near
humans in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Infected mosquitoes continue to
transmit dengue with each blood meal for the rest of their lives.
