black plague treatment :: Article Creator Black Death Vaccine Being Developed Amid Fears The Disease Could Return And Kill Millions COVID jab scientists are developing a Black Death vaccine over fears the disease could re-emerge and kill millions. Researchers believe their inoculation will be the first approved in the UK for the ancient infection. 1 Covid jab scientists are developing a Black Death vaccineCredit: Getty The Black Death — also known as bubonic plague — has killed 200million people worldwide and medics fear a super-strength version may now appear. The team behind the Oxford AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine said they had made progress on an injection that could prevent bubonic plague developing. A trial of their vaccine on 40 healthy adults, which started in 2021, shows it is safe and can produce an immune response to the often-fatal condition. Prof Sir Andrew Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group, said the t...

Black death: why a medieval plague was so devastating - The Kozweek

Черная смерть: почему средневековая чума оказалась так губительна

The medieval pandemic of the plague had claimed so many lives because the disease was not quite usual way, found an international group of scientists.

It used to be that a huge number of victims associated with poor sanitation, crowding of the population and the helplessness of the doctors.

But this does not explain why the virus acted selectively killed mostly people and animals (including the main carriers of plague rats) remained alive.

Recent studies have revealed an unexpected picture of the disease, according to .

It turned out that getting into the human body, the plague Bacillus inhibited the enzyme activity of the TAK1 kinase, which is activated by a rapid inflammatory cell response to infection.

The infected cell continued to respond to lipopolysaccharide (activator of innate immunity), and perished.

During the standard process of destroying the cells they are split into several parts, each of which are surrounded by a membrane and are absorbed by other cells.

But infected with the plague mechanism was different. The integrity of the shell cage was broken, and its contents fell into the extracellular space causing an inflammatory reaction. It was not processed and did not leave the body, serving as reservoirs for infection.

Therefore, the disease was very hard and in most cases led to death.

The authors of the study noted that showed this pattern, but had not yet established the cause. When this problem is solved, it will be able to create innovative drugs for the treatment of diseases caused by such bacteria.

So, it is already known that in a similar way on the human body is affected by the Bacillus of pseudotuberculosis, a close “relative” of the plague.

Previously, scientists found the source of the European plague. The plague Bacillus was covered in the skins of animals obtained in the Urals. Merchants gained a valuable commodity during trips to Russia and the Golden Horde and sent it to Western countries was the beginning of the epidemic.

Preventing, controlling spread of animal diseases focus of forum at Penn State - Pennsylvania State University

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — An outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in poultry in 2014-15 resulted in the destruction of more than 50 million chickens and turkeys in the U.S., causing billions of dollars in economic loss. This animal disease outbreak — the worst in U.S. history — is one example of how devastating a foreign animal disease can be to animal agriculture and the country's economy. The resurgence of avian influenza in multiple states, including Pennsylvania, is once again bringing the importance of preventing animal diseases to the forefront, noted Suresh Kuchipudi, clinical professor of microbiology in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. Exploring the emergence, spread and control of animal infectious diseases such as avian influenza was the focus of the inaugural Emerging Animal Infectious Disease Conference held Nov. 29-Dec.1, 2021, at Penn State. It was hosted by the College of Agricultural Sciences, the Pennsylvania Department of A...

dented can botulism :: Article Creator Three Canadians Sickened In France's Botulism Outbreak Are From Quebec: PHAC The Public Health Agency of Canada has confirmed that the three Canadians who fell ill in a botulism outbreak in France are from Quebec. They're among at least 12 people who have suspected botulism after eating sardines prepared and served at Tchin Tchin Wine Bar in Bordeaux, France. The food was eaten between Sept. 4 and Sept. 10. The Associated Press has reported that some patients have been released from hospital, but most of them are in intensive care or critical condition. Canada's public health agency says it cannot divulge the condition of the patients from Quebec because it is considered private health information. Other tourists from the U.S., Ireland, Germany and Spain were among those sickened. One patient, who was not from Canada, has died. France's public health agency is leading the investigation...

Recently, however, cybercrooks have started disseminating real-time, accurate information about global infection rates tied to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic in a bid to infect computers with malicious software.
