causative organism of dengue

Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease caused by a flavivirus. Dengue fever usually results in the abrupt onset of high fever, headache, myalgias, arthralgias, lymphadenopathy, and a rash that appears with a 2nd temperature rise after an afebrile period. Respiratory symptoms, such as cough, sore throat, and rhinorrhea, can occur. Dengue can also cause potentially fatal hemorrhagic fever with bleeding tendency and shock. Diagnosis involves PCR and serologic testing. Treatment is symptomatic, including meticulously adjusted intravascular volume replacement.

Mode of Transmission
Dengue viruses are transmitted to humans through the bites of infective female Aedes mosquitoes. The disease is not directly transmitted from person to person.

Prevention and Control

At present, there is no specific treatment. No vaccine is current available. The only method of controlling or preventing Dengue Fever is to combat the vector mosquitoes. 1. Vector control is implemented using environmental management and chemical methods. Proper solid waste disposal, elimination of stagnant water in domestic environment and improved water storage practices. 2. Aerosol and liquid spray has to be applied directly to the adult mosquito for effective killing, e.g. household pesticides. 3. Mosquito coil and electric mosquito mat/ liquid has to be placed near possible entrance, such as window, for mosquito. 4. Wear long-sleeved clothes and long trousers when going outdoors. Bodies could be protected from mosquito bite by applying insect repellent (containing DEET) on the clothes and exposed part of the body especially when you travel to Dengue Fever endemic areas. 5. Mosquito bednet could be used when the room is not air-conditioned.

CANCER
Mode of Transmission Like all other organs of the body, the ovaries are made up of many different types of cells. Usually, cells divide to produce more cells, but only when the body needs them. This is an orderly process, which helps to keep us healthy. But, if cells keep dividing when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue forms. This mass of extra tissue is called a tumor. CANCER organisms
Cancer bacteria are bacteria infectious organisms that are known or suspected to cause cancer. While cancerassociated bacteria have long been considered to be opportunistic (i.e., infecting healthy tissues after cancer has already established itself), there is some evidence that bacteria may be directly carcinogenic. The strongest evidence to date involves the bacterium H. pylori and its role in gastric cancer.

10 Lifestyle Tips for Cancer Prevention

Be physically active for at least 30 minutes every day. Avoid sugary drinks, and limit consumption of high-calorie foods, especially those low in fiber and rich in fat or added sugar. Eat more of a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes (such as beans). Limit consumption of red meats (including beef, pork, and lamb) and avoid processed meats. If you drink alcohol, limit your daily intake to two drinks for men and one drink for women. Limit consumption of salty foods and food processed with salt (sodium). Don't use supplements to try to protect against cancer. It's best for mothers to exclusively breastfeed their babies for up to six months and then add other liquids and foods. After treatment, cancer survivors should follow the recommendations for cancer prevention.

Transmission of Hepatitis B Hepatitis B is transmitted through contaminated blood, sweat, tears, saliva, semen, saliva, vaginal secretions, menstrual blood and breast milk. This can occur when using the same syringe as an infected person, from blood transfusions prior to 1975 (now screened in most countries), having tattoos or body piercing, from mother to child during childbirth, during medical procedures, occupational exposure, during sexual intercourse. Having Hepatitis B does not necessarily mean that he or she is infectious to other people, only some people with HBV are contagious.

What is the causative organism of Hepatitis B?

Answer: Hepatitis B is a contagious liver infection caused by hepatitis B virus. There is Hepatitis B virus in the blood and body fluids of infected persons. The disease can be transmitted through blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and many other body fluids. These are some examples of how it can be transmitted into the body: Blood transfusions, contact with blood in health care settings, had direct contact with the blood of an infected person by touching an open wound or being stuck with a needle, had unprotected sex with an infected person, received a tattoo or acupuncture with contaminated material, shared needles during drug use, shared personal items (such as toothbrushes, razors, and nail clippers) with an infected person

Prevention
Consider the hepatitis B vaccine The hepatitis B vaccine is typically given as a series of three or four injections over a period of six months. You can't get hepatitis B from the vaccine.zThe hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for:

All infants, beginning at birth All children and adolescents who weren't vaccinated at birth Anyone being treated for a sexually transmitted infection Developmentally disabled people who live in an institutional setting Health care workers, emergency workers and other people who come into contact with blood on the job Anyone infected with HIV Men who have sex with men People who have multiple sexual partners People with chronic liver disease People who inject illicit drugs People who live with someone who has hepatitis B People with end-stage kidney disease Sexual partners of someone who has hepatitis B Travelers planning to go to an area of the world with a high hepatitis B infection rate

Rajasthan to develop biosphere reserve corridor

S

Featured India Jaipur Rajasthan

Jaipur, Jan 4 - The Rajasthan government Wednesday announced that it will develop a biosphere reserve corridor connecting 14 protected sanctuaries in six districts to ensure safe roaming of wild animals like tigers. The corridor was among the several projects approved by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot during a cabinet meeting here Wednesday. "The corridor will be named Rajiv Gandhi Biosphere Reserve. It is a very ambitious project of the state government for protecting wild life animals, especially tigers," an official at the chief minister's office (CMO) told IANS. Sanctuaries which will be connected through the corridor include Ramsagar, Van Vihar and Kesarbaag in Dholpur district, Kela Devi in Karauli, Ranthambore National Park, Sawai Man Singh and Sawai Madhopur Sanctuary in Sawai Madhopur, Ramgarh Vishdhari in Bundi, Darra, Jawahar Sagar, National Chambal Sanctuary and Mukundara Hills Sanctuary in Kota, Shergarh in Bundi and Bhainsrorgarh Sanctuary in Chittoragarh district. He added that due to increasing population of tigers in Ranthambore National Park, incidents of territorial fights and straying of the big cats into human habitats are on the rise. "The corridor will give the big cats freedom to roam in a bigger area and also provide plenty of prey to them," said the officer. He added that the corridor will also reduce the possibility of poaching as it will be declared protected. "Where ever necessary, the villages will be shifted. The animals will be able to roam in different sanctuaries without any threat," said the officer. The proposal will now be sent to the union environment and forests ministry for its final nod. (IANS

Ranthambore National Park

Ranthambore National Park or Ranthambhore is one of the largest national parks in northern India. It is situated in Sawai Madhopur district of southeasternRajasthan, about 110 km north east of Kota and 130 km south east of Jaipur, which is also the nearest airport. The nearest town and railway station is atSawai Madhopur, about 11 km away; Kota is another convenient station as many trains stop there. RIDCOR operates a mega highway between Kota and Ranthambhore. Ranthambhore was established as the Sawai Madhopur Game Sanctuary in 1955 by the Government of India, and was declared one of the Project Tiger reserves in 1973. Ranthambore became a national park in 1980. In 1984, the adjacent forests were declared the Sawai Man Singh Sanctuary and Keladevi Sanctuary, and in 1991 the tiger reserve was enlarged to include the Sawai Man Singh and Keladevi sanctuaries. Ranthambore wildlife sanctuary is known for its tigers and is one of the best places in India to see these majestic predators in the jungle. Tigers can be easily spotted even during the day time. A good time to visit Ranthambore National Park is in November and May when the nature of the dry deciduous forests makes sightings common. Its deciduous forests were once a part of the magnificent jungles of Central India. The park lies at the edge of a plateau, and is bounded to the north by the Banas River and to the south by the Chambal River. There are several lakes in the park. It is named for the historic Ranthambhore fortress, which lies within the national park. The park covers an area of 392 km, and is known for its tiger population, and is one of India's Project Tiger reserves. Other major wild animals includeleopard, nilgai, wild boar, sambar, hyena, sloth bear and chital. It is also home to wide variety of trees, plants, birds and reptiles. Ranthambore is also the site of one of the largest banyan trees in India.

Archaea (Archaebacteria) 1. Archaea have prokaryotic cells; lack peptidoglycan in their cell walls. 2. Archaea include methanogens, halophiles, and extreme thermophiles. Fungi 1. Fungi (mushroom, molds, and yeasts) have eukaryotic cells (with a true nucleus). Most fungi are multicellular. 2. Fungi obtain nutrients by absorbing organic material from their environment. Protozoa 1. Protozoa are unicellular eukaryotes. 2. Protozoa obtain nourishment by absorption or ingestion through specialized structures. Algae 1. Algae are unicellular or multicellular eukaryotes that obtain nourishment by photosynthesis. 2. Algae produce oxygen and carbohydrates used by other organisms. Viruses 1. Viruses are noncellular entities that are parasites of cells. 2. Viruses consist of a nucleic acid core (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat.

I. Introduction and Background (to be combined with other groups) Macrofungi found within the boundaries of the.CRB include three major subdivisions; Basidiomycotina, Ascomycotina and Zygomycotina. The subdivision Basidiomycotina include about 15,000 species. Fungi such as mushrooms, puffballs and polypores (conks) are some of the more commonly known and encountered forms. Other forms include the jelly fungi, birds nest fungi and tooth fungi. The majority of Basidiomycotina are either saprophytes on decaying wood and other dead plant material or are mutualistic symbionts with the roots of plants and trees, forming a special beneficial association called mycorrhiza. Others are parasites on living plants or even on other fungi.

The Domain Archaea wasn't recognized as a major domain of life until quite recently. Until the 20th century, most biologists considered all living things to be classifiable as either a plant or an animal. But in the 1950s and 1960s, most biologists came to the realization that this system failed to accomodate the fungi, protists, and bacteria. By the 1970s, a system of Five Kingdoms had come to be accepted as the model by which all living things could be classified. At a more fundamental level, a distinction was made between the prokaryotic bacteria and the four eukaryotic kingdoms (plants, animals, fungi, & protists). The distinction recognizes the common traits that eukaryotic organisms share, such as nuclei, cytoskeletons, and internal membranes.
Protozoa are a diverse group of unicellular eukaryotic organisms, many of which aremotile. Originally, protozoa had been defined as unicellular protists with animal-like behavior, e.g., movement. Protozoa were regarded as the partner group of protists toprotophyta, which have plant-like behaviour, e.g., photosynthesis.
[1]

Following the Greek root of the name, the singular form is protozoon /protzo.n/(protos=first, zoon=animal). Its use has, however, partially been replaced by the word protozoan, which was originally only used as an adjective. In the same manner the plural formprotozoans is sometimes being used instead of protozoa.

Klamath Blue Green Algae has such a complete nutritional profile, available in forms that are directly accessible and easily superior to any other algae on the market and has become the focus of much attention in the health food industry.

A virus is a program which reproduces its own code by attaching itself to other programs in such a way that the virus code is executed when the infected program is executed. New computer viruses are found every day. A virus reproduces, usually without your permission or knowledge. In general terms they have an infection phase where they reproduce widely and an attack phase where they do whatever damage they are programmed to do (if any).
